Things are weird. Interest rates are up, high paying tech jobs are down, a major bank has gone kaput and crypto isn't quite the magic carpet ride to riches many hoped it would be. Travis talks about where he's putting his money, and his thoughts on what assets are winning and losing...

​

Topics include:

• Where the best investments are
• The real benefits of cash
• What really led to the demise of SVB in simple terms
• Volatility of the commercial real estate market
• Opportunities and pitfalls in online business investments, stocks, and crypto
• Strategies for long-term investment success
