In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell dive into one of the most politically and economically charged periods in recent history. With election season intensifying, AI regulation heating up, and market volatility rising, they break down how investors can prepare for the next 18 months.

The hosts discuss why markets tend to rally after elections, the impact of potential policy shifts on taxes, crypto, and interest rates, and why AI regulation could change the trajectory of tech investing. They also explore the Federal Reserve’s 2026 outlook, global instability, and whether gold and Bitcoin can protect investors against inflation and geopolitical risk.

This episode delivers a balanced mix of macroeconomic insight, investment strategy, and real-world perspective to help you make smarter money moves during turbulent times.

Episode Highlights:

• [00:00:30] Market volatility update and what’s driving investor sentiment right now
• [00:04:15] Election-year dynamics: why markets often rally after political uncertainty settles
• [00:09:30] AI regulation and its impact on tech valuations and innovation
• [00:14:40] Global instability and energy prices — where the real risks lie
• [00:18:55] The Fed’s next moves: interest rates, inflation, and 2026 projections
• [00:23:30] Crypto outlook — regulation, adoption, and institutional entry points
• [00:27:20] Gold, Bitcoin, and real assets as protection against market chaos
• [00:32:45] Why most investors lose in election years and how to avoid emotional decisions
• [00:38:10] The 2026 setup: sectors and strategies that could outperform long-term

Episode Takeaways:

• Election uncertainty creates opportunity. Historically, post-election rallies favor patient investors who stay positioned through volatility.
• AI regulation is coming. Expect more government scrutiny and tighter frameworks around data, IP, and automation—but innovation will persist.
• Diversification matters more than ever. Real assets, energy, and technology infrastructure remain strong long-term plays.
• Crypto and gold remain hedges. Institutional adoption and digital asset infrastructure are solidifying.
• Focus on fundamentals. Emotional, reactionary investing destroys returns—discipline compounds wealth.

In this powerful episode, Matty A. delves into the profound influence relationships have on wealth creation and preservation. Whether it’s a partner, mentor, friend, or even yourself, the right connections can elevate your success — while the wrong ones can erode it. You'll discover how to identify, cultivate, and safeguard the relationships that support long-term wealth, and how to avoid those that can derail it.

Core Relationship Insights

1. Mentors & Advisors

• Genuine mentors provide guidance, perspective, and accountability.
• Financial professionals rooted in trust can help you navigate decisions with clarity and conviction.

2. Partner or Spousal Relationships

• Shared values, transparency, and open communication are essential for building financial unity.
• Misalignment in spending habits, goals, or money attitudes can become a major source of conflict and sabotage wealth-building.

3. Peer Influence & Networks

• Surrounding yourself with financially savvy people can significantly improve your habits, mindset, and access to opportunity.
• High-net-worth friends don’t just offer inspiration — they can open doors to capital, deals, and better decision-making frameworks.

4. Your Relationship with Yourself

• Self-awareness, discipline, and mindset form the bedrock of wealth creation.
• Believing in your ability, investing consistently in your education, and resisting impulsive decisions are critical for long-term success.

When Relationships Become Wealth Destroyers

• Financial Conflicts in Partnerships: Money disagreements are among the most enduring and emotional. Without mutual respect and clear boundaries, they can break relationships and erode financial stability.
• Sudden Wealth Syndrome: Unexpected gains — from windfalls or abrupt success — can isolate you, trigger distrust, and lead to self-sabotaging behaviors if you're not grounded and supported.
• Divorces, Legal Battles & Misaligned Inherited Wealth: Emotional rifts and unplanned distributions can fracture wealth meant to last generations.

Actionable Takeaways

• Audit Your Inner Circle: Are your closest relationships helping or hindering your wealth journey? Identify supportive, aligned individuals and invest in deepening those bonds.
• Set Clear Agreements: Whether with a partner, advisor, or investor, ensure expectations, roles, and communication norms are defined and revisited regularly.
• Strengthen Your Mindset Foundation: Build resilience through self-education, goal-setting, and consistent financial habits.

• Create a Safety Net: Especially important when dealing with sudden wealth or high-stakes outcomes — ensure emotional, legal, and advisory structures are in place to protect lasting success.

Final Thought

Wealth isn’t just built with capital — it's created and preserved through key human connections. Let this episode serve as your guide to aligning your inner and outer worlds for lasting financial success.

1. Episode Overview

Matty A. brings clarity to the big investment debate of our time: Crypto, Artificial Intelligence (AI), or Real Estate. In this episode, he breaks down the strengths and risks of each investment avenue—and reveals how they can complement one another in a well-rounded portfolio.

2. Big Ideas Covered

Crypto

• Crypto continues to gain traction with institutional interest and regulatory progress paving the way for innovation like stablecoins, asset tokenization, and enhanced DeFi interfaces.
• These developments could make digital assets more accessible and practical—but volatility and regulatory uncertainty remain ongoing concerns.

AI Investments

• AI investment remains a bright spot thanks to surging demand for infrastructure like data centers, as well as gains from specialized “stealth” technology providers.
• Still, analysts caution that such growth may be part of a larger tech bubble. Success depends on strategic execution, staying ahead of technological disruption, and navigating market cycles.

Real Estate (Tech-Enhanced)

• REITs and tech-integrated real estate (via AI, smart homes, and tokenization) are showing resilience—especially in diversified global markets and evolving offline-to-online platforms.
• While real estate offers stability and generational value, it's slower to scale and less liquid—though tokenization may change the game in the future.

3. Investment Snapshot

Crypto

• Offers high growth potential and rapid innovation.
• Easily accessible—can invest with small amounts.
• Highly volatile and exposed to regulatory uncertainties.
• Often speculative, requiring strong conviction and risk tolerance.

AI

• Driven by significant enterprise demand and infrastructure expansion.
• Supports a broader range of industries—beyond crypto hype.
• Risks include overinvestment and rapid obsolescence.
• Offers structured growth, especially through AI applications and platforms.

Real Estate (Tech-Enhanced)

• Backed by tangible assets with income-generating potential.
• Becoming more efficient and liquid thanks to PropTech, AI tools, and tokenization.
• Traditionally less liquid with slower cycles—though technology is bridging the gap.
• Offers long-term stability and passive income.

4. Episode Takeaways

• Diversification is still your friend. Each asset class has distinct risk-return profiles—crypto offers high volatility upside, AI brings innovation and industry momentum, while real estate delivers stability and passive yield.
• Hybrid opportunities are emerging. AI-powered real estate platforms and tokenized CRE blends the best of multiple worlds—liquidity with structure, innovation with asset backing.
• Know your investor profile. Aggressive builders might lean more into crypto and AI, while income-focused or conservative investors could find real estate—or tech-enhanced real estate—more suitable.

5. Suggested Next Steps

• Assess your risk appetite and time horizon to guide how you allocate across these sectors.
• Start small and explore hybrid investment channels, like tokenized real estate or AI-backed platforms.
• Track convergence trends—where blockchain intersects with real estate or AI tools power DeFi—as they often reveal outsized opportunities.

Bottom Line: There's no single winner crowned in this episode. Instead, success may lie in combining these tools within a strategic, diversified portfolio—and leaning into the tech bridge between them.

4. Set up feedback loops for growth and optimization

• Matty’s IRR Hunter AI:

1. A deal-hunting machine that identifies arbitrage opportunities
2. Performs underwriting and provides actionable insights
3. Works faster, cheaper, and smarter than a traditional analyst

• The Future of Real Estate Investing:

Episode Takeaways:
