If you've ever wondered whether the government is going to crack down on Bitcoin --- or whether crypto is even legal --- this week changed everything. Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the biggest week in U.S. crypto policy history in plain language anyone can follow.

For the first time ever, the two federal agencies that oversee financial markets --- the SEC and CFTC --- officially said that sixteen major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, are commodities like gold or oil, not stocks or securities. That's a big deal because it means they'll be regulated with a lighter touch, and the years-long question of "who's in charge of crypto" finally has an answer. The SEC also proposed a new safe harbor framework that would give crypto startups legal room to build without fear of getting sued before the rules are even written.

On top of that, two senators from opposite parties struck a deal on Friday that could unlock the biggest crypto bill in Congress --- one that's been stalled for months. And while all this is happening, Bitcoin is holding steady above $70,000 even though investor fear is at levels we haven't seen since the FTX collapse.

Dr. Evans also goes inside her State of Crypto 2026 Report --- covering the $130 million political spending strategy that reshaped Congress, why 23 percent of Black Americans own crypto and what that means for who these new rules are built to serve, and what every investor and professional should be watching right now.

Everyone has goals, but the real question is this: Are your choices moving you toward who you’re becoming, or keeping you exactly where you are?

In today’s episode, “Do Your Financial Choices Reflect the Life You Really Want…Or?,” host Jacquette explores the powerful space between where you are and where you want to be. She calls this space “the gap”; the place where growth, clarity, and transformation actually happen.

The gap is where you challenge old beliefs, interrupt unhelpful habits, expand what you think is possible, and start making choices that honor your future self. It’s not passive. It’s active, and it’s where evolution takes root. If you’re committed to aligning with the life you envision, everything: your relationship to risk, your sense of capacity, your identity, your imagination—will need room to shift.

So let’s step into the gap with intention. It’s where the next version of you is waiting.

One industry spent over $130 million to reshape American politics. They went 48 for 58 in targeted Congressional races. And sixteen months later, the United States has its first federal crypto law, a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and the clearest regulatory signal the SEC and CFTC have ever produced. How did we get here? Dr. Tonya M. Evans pulls back the curtain on the inaugural State of Crypto 2026 Report from Advantage Evans Global Regulatory Strategies, walking you through how the report was built and the nine findings that frame everything from the GENIUS Act to the SEC-CFTC MOU classifying Bitcoin and Ethereum as digital commodities.

If you've ever felt lost by the jargon, the names, or the alphabet soup of crypto regulation, this is the episode where it all clicks. Every term defined. Every player explained. Every finding unpacked. The full report is available for free download for a limited time at ProfTonyaEvans.com/stateofcrypto2026

What does the future really hold? According to Citrine Research’s report, "The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis", if you’re not AI… the outlook might feel a little dystopian.

In today’s episode, “Welcome to the Dystopia,” host Tremell sits down with journalist and host of the Karen Hunter is Awesome podcast, Karen, to unpack the future we may be hurtling toward; one shaped not just by artificial intelligence, but by unchecked greed and the systems that enable it. Together, they explore scenarios that feel less like science fiction and more like tomorrow’s headlines: the potential elimination of Sales Force roles, the shrinking value of human customer service, the paradox of funding an economic machine that’s simultaneously erasing jobs, the promise and pitfalls of Universal Basic Income, and much more.

At the heart of the conversation lies a deeper question: we’re all chasing “the dream,” but as Langston Hughes asked, "what happens to a dream deferred?" Tune in as Tremell and Karen break down the dangers, the possibilities, and the mindset shifts that might help “we the people” not just survive the coming changes but find ways to thrive within them.

Welcome to "The Cashflow Coach" with Tremell McKenzie! The podcast that proves why investing doesn't have to be difficult. Tune in weekly to unlock your full potential as an investor and make the most of your financial journey.

Some people say rules are made to be broken, but that mindset can quietly work against you when it comes to your boundaries. In today’s episode, “Every Boundary You Honor Strengthens a Relationship — Especially This One,” Jacquette shares why asking her clients about the rules they set, and how faithfully they follow them, reveals the true health of their relationship with money.

A boundary isn’t just a polite way to express needs. They're reflective of your self‑awareness, your standards, your communication, and your responsibility; the very qualities that shape how you lead and how you do business. When you can honor your boundaries even under pressure and influence, you’re already operating from a place of alignment, clarity, and strength. And that puts you miles ahead when money enters the picture.

Boundaries aren’t restrictions. They’re alignment. They’re self‑respect in action. Tune in to explore how honoring your boundaries is one of the most powerful ways to honor yourself.

Just days ago, Kraken became the first cryptocurrency company in U.S. history to receive a Federal Reserve master account — gaining direct access to the same payment rails that traditional banks have controlled for decades. That breakthrough is the perfect lens for this conversation, because Dr. Tonya M. Evans's guest, Caitlin Long, has been fighting for exactly that kind of access for years. Long is the founder and CEO of Custodia Bank, a Harvard-educated Wall Street veteran turned crypto banking pioneer, and one of the most consequential voices in the fight to integrate digital asset firms into the U.S. financial system. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Evans and Long unpack the mechanics and meaning behind Fed master accounts, the GENIUS Act's stablecoin framework, and why the current battle over stablecoin yield between crypto firms and legacy banks could reshape the entire future of money.

Together, they explore how tokenized deposits could revolutionize corporate payments, why U.S. dollar stablecoins are quietly extending American financial influence around the world, and what Africa's accelerating crypto adoption reveals about the practical utility of digital assets for communities traditional banking has never served. They also address the contradictions embedded in U.S. financial regulation and what the next generation of legal professionals needs to understand about building careers at the intersection of law, policy, and digital finance.

Sometimes you can’t quite name what’s shaping your choices, but that doesn’t make its influence any less real. In today’s episode, “Why Do the Things You Can’t See Influence the Ones You Can?” host Jacquette explores what she calls the “invisible forces”; the quiet drivers that can steer your life in directions you never consciously chose.

These forces are always present, and while there are many, Jacquette highlights four that show up again and again:

• seeking approval even when it costs you

• taking responsibility that was never yours

• defining yourself through others’ perceptions or potential

• choosing stability vs expansion

They may not fit neatly on a spreadsheet, but they shape every number, every decision, every outcome.

Jacquette urges listeners not to let these unseen influences keep them trapped in assumptions that inevitably lead to comparison. Instead, she calls you to examine them, question them, and reclaim full authorship of your narrative. When you ask the right questions, you uncover the real process beneath your choices, and that clarity frees you to move with intention rather than unchecked influence.
