They get into how the league went from a basketball hangover to a global vision, how the franchise model is scaling, what surviving COVID proved about the league’s staying power, and why Ice Cube believes this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for investors who’ve been locked out of sports ownership until now.

Show notes
A record number of CEOs have departed for two years running — and it's not because they lacked intelligence or experience. It's because the map they were using became outdated overnight.
Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Cornelia Choe — international leadership expert, former Morgan Stanley private equity investor, and co-author of The Panoramic Leader — about the hidden warning signs that a management team is operating on autopilot, the three questions she uses to immediately assess whether leadership is truly on top of what's happening, and why in a world where AI has commoditized knowledge, the executives who can see around corners will be the ones worth betting on.

When a bank’s earnings cause the stock to pop more than 15%, then something definitely went right. At least that is what appears to have happened at SoFi this most recent quarter thanks to an earnings beat and raised guidance. Matt, Lou, and Tyler look at the highlights of the earnings reports and poke some holes into the thesis. Plus, Paypal’s earnings show a company in search of different shareholders, who’s to blame for Boeing’s persistent earnings misses, and why Instacart may be in a rush to close a deal.

Show notes
The wealthiest people in America aren't who you think they are. Together, they have more net worth than the Forbes 400 by a factor of ten — and almost no one has heard of them. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Eric Zwick, professor of economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and co-author of The Everywhere Millionaire, about the decade of research that rewrote what he thought he knew about wealth, inequality, and the American economy.
They get into who actually makes up the top one percent, what these Main Street millionaires can teach public market investors about capital allocation and competition, and the economic indicators worth watching right now if you want to track the health of the businesses that actually power most of the country.

When to Contribute or Convert to a Roth Account

Show notes
There’s an old saying about investing: It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep. Because you aren’t the only owner of your portfolio; you have a co-owner named Uncle Sam, and he eventually will want his share in the form of taxes.
However, you can limit how much of your returns you lose to taxes by investing in a Roth retirement account, which offers tax-free growth and withdrawals. But there’s a trade-off: In a year when you contribute or convert to a Roth, you usually pay more in income taxes.
Host Robert Brokamp discusses when a Roth makes sense with Wade Pfau, the founder of RetirementResearcher.com, the director of retirement research at McLean Asset Management, the co-host of the Retire With Style podcast, and the author of more than 60 research articles and four books, including “The Retirement Planning Guidebook.”Topics covered:
-Who should contribute or convert to a Roth account
-Why thinking just in terms of tax brackets doesn’t paint the whole tax picture
-The sometimes faulty assumptions made by online tools
-Why Roth accounts benefit retirees who may be subject to substantial required minimum distributions or Medicare surcharges
-What types of investments are best for Roth accountsHost: Robert Brokamp, CFP®, EA

Disruption rarely arrives from the direction an industry expects. It came for retail from a bookseller in Seattle, for taxis from software engineers who had never driven one, and for photography from a camera company that had already invented the future but couldn't bring itself to use it. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Jeffrey Cole — founder of the World Internet Project, director of USC's Center for the Digital Future, and author of Disruptors at the Gate — about the patterns that repeat every time an industry gets blindsided, why most CEOs are structurally prevented from doing what it takes to survive disruption, and what investors should be watching right now as AI, quantum computing, and a wave of landmark IPOs reshape the landscape.

Show notes
Somewhere in your portfolio, you probably have a loser -- an investment that is now worth less than what you paid for it. However, all is not lost. If that investment is in a non-retirement account (i.e., not in an IRA, 401(k), or HSA), you can sell it, take the loss, and use it to offset your capital gains and reduce your taxable income. But you have to know the rules.
Robert Brokamp discusses what to keep in mind:
-The range of investments to consider selling
-How not to run afoul of the wash-sale rules
-The true value of the $3,000 ordinary income deduction
-The default rules for how cost basis and holding period are assigned to different types of investments
-The potential downsides of tax-loss harvesting
