Wealth and Means - Episode 11 - Noise, Signal and the Long Game

What looks like noise often turns out to be signal—and this episode follows that thread all the way through culture, markets, and history.

We start with What You Didn’t See in the News: Minecraft as prestige television, fan-made trailers outpacing studios, cloud gaming drifting toward subscriptions, podcasts winning on trust over novelty, and the speculative corners of the stock market where momentum moves faster than fundamentals.

Then it’s Wake Up Ready—a week where inflation data, central-bank tone, and energy numbers quietly decide whether markets stay calm or reprice everything.

In the Knowledge Bomb, we strip investing down to its unglamorous core: indexes as scoreboards, ETFs as tools, and why diversification, low costs, and staying invested beat prediction over decades.

We take a Humor Me detour through financial hypocrisy—the frugal saint, the pampered sinner, and the emergency fund that somehow turns into a luxury wallet.

And we close with Let’s Invent Again: the Wright brothers, a bicycle shop, a homemade wind tunnel, and the timeless lesson that control, fundamentals, and iteration beat hype—whether you’re building an airplane, a portfolio, or a life that actually feels chosen.
