Many people call finding more cash the name of the game, but today’s guest, rapper Dee-1, goes further, discussing how passion, courage, and confidence can give you the strength to find your purpose…and then find more money. He’ll also talk about mentoring, his new album, and more, on today’s show.
Bitcoin is back in our headline segment again, as people are financing their house to jump into the deep end on block chain investments. Should you cash in everything and put it in bitcoin? We’ll discuss. Plus, we’ll tackle how a “min-Madoff” escaped from prison, and also how you can protect yourself from a Madoff-like scandal.
Of course, we’ll also throw out the Haven Life line, share some amazing trivia from Steve, who’s filling in for a mysteriously (and suspiciously) missing Doug.

- Here’s a letter for today’s Life Line from Richie:
- Hello – my partner and I are beginning investors. We are in our early 30’s. Reseach online says that that this is our prime wealth accumulation phase and to buy primarily stocks. Is there a point or when is the time that we should begin buying bonds, probably VTBLX through Vanguard. Not sure if there is a recommended bond/stock ratio for people our age. Thanks.
