The Book of Elon
Eric Jorgenson is back on the pod to talk about his new book, The Book of Elon, a five-year project distilling Elon Musk’s most useful ideas in his own words. Eric and I talk about why Musk is the greatest living entrepreneur, the recursive logic of ‘stacking S-curves,’ and the case for a generation of builders rather than financiers. Along the way: the 2008 split-the-money story, the toy casting that became the gigapress, and why deleting is harder, and more important, than automating.Buy the book: https://www.elonmuskbook.org/Follow Eric: https://x.com/EricJorgensonEric’s Smart Friends podcast: https://www.ejorgenson.com/Music: “The Big Ship” by Brian EnoAll opinions expressed by Andrew Flattery and his guests are solely their own and do not reflect the opinions of Flattery Wealth Management, a registered investment advisor.

Have Yourself a Home Alone Family
I dive into what I’m calling peak America, that is the Peter McAllister (Dad) character from Home Alone. Watching this at age 41 and the movie is now a meditation on what’s worth fighting for. I get into how the McAllister house functions as a ‘castle’ for the kind of multi-generational family life that Johann Kurtz writes about in Leaving a Legacy: Inheritance, Charity, & Thousand-Year Families. I look at how Kevin’s initiation by older brother Buzz embodies what Anthony Esolen describes in No Apologies: Why Civilization Depends on the Strength of Men, a rough-and-tumble world where boys learn to build, explore, and fight. There’s even the church scene with Old Man Marley that delivers a Christmas message. I contrast all of this with the so-called ‘found family’ therapeutic culture that tells you to replace rather than reconcile. Celebrating the chaos, the legacy, the adventure of family life, and a classic movie for Christmas 2025. Intro: The Drifters’ “White Christmas”Credit to the Aaron M.

Johann Kurtz (Becoming Noble) - Leaving a Legacy
I speak with with the semi-pseudonymous Johann Kurtz on his terrific new book Leaving a Legacy: Inheritance, Charity, & Thousand-Year Families. Johann lays out the foundation for why it can be moral to leave an inheritance when pared with virtue. We talk how ‘Die with Zero’ misses the mark, why true charity is necessarily multi-generational, family business as a conduit for generational continuity, and what J.K. Rowling instinctively understands about the re-enchantment of the world. Intro/Outro: Legends of the Fall Main Theme - James Horner This is a public episode.

Zack Grafman & Frank Theodat on The Boys Book of Adventure
I chat with editors Zack Grafman and Frank Theodat about the need for aspirational books for boys. Many recommendations from the Dads here, including classics like The Hardy Boys, Treasure Island, Jules Verne but also some new stuff (Redwall, How to Train your Dragon, even some video games). We also talk the (potential) opportunity within independent publishing to create and distribute through “underground, conspiratorial, vibes based marketing” books that counter safe, effeminate, and uninspiring mainstream offerings. ‘Based Boys Books,’ as Zack puts it. Look out for the launch of The Boys Book of Adventure Anthology, a new collection deliberately crafted to appeal to boys, as boys. The Anthology also happens include my next ‘Leo and Henry’ Adventure.Buy the book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/42m7C66Intro/Outro: The Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone This is a public episode.

Ryan O'Connor - Nintendo, Switch 2, Conviction from Deep Work
In which I bring you one of the sharpest minds in fundamental equity analysis, my friend Ryan O'Connor of Crossroads Capital.Ryan is a multidisciplinary thinker who combines rigorous fundamental analysis with a lot of of wit and wisdom. In this conversation, we dive deep into one of his ideas, none other than Nintendo. We discuss Ryan’s original contrarian thesis, how the business transformation has played out, and what to expect with recent release of the Switch 2. If you enjoy this discussion, I highly recommend going back to listen to my 2020 interview with Ryan and checking out the Crossroads Capital investing letters, both masterclasses in thoughtful equity analysis.Intro: Can’t Hardly Wait - The Replacements This is a public episode.

Wyatt O'Rourke - Financialization of Bitcoin, Bitcoinization of Finance
I start the pod with some insights from the last four-year cycle in Bitcoin investing, comparing its annualized returns and drawdowns with other market proxies like the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and gold. I then welcome Wyatt O'Rourke, founder of Basilic Financial and author of 'The Bitcoinization of Finance,' to discuss Bitcoin's integration into traditional finance. Wyatt gets into private credit funds, Bitcoin-backed mortgages, and the importance of sound custody solutions. We then digress to a conversation on 'noblesse oblige' in the context of modern elites like Elon Musk and Donald Trump and emphasize the need to uphold moral and ethical standards. 00:00 Bitcoin's Four-Year Performance Analysis06:48 Si Bheag, Si Mhor · Planxty10:26 Financialization of Bitcoin13:20 Bitcoin Derivatives and Loan Market27:11 The Space: A Bitcoin Citadel37:00 Noblesse Oblige and Bitcoin44:19 Elon Musk and Donald Trump This is a public episode.
