Who Really Runs the Show? Breaking Down the CEO vs CFO vs COO

Look, I get it. All these C-level titles sound the same when you first hear them. But here’s the deal – they’re completely different jobs, and understanding that difference matters way more than you’d think. Let me tell you what I’ve learned from watching these roles up close.

From SIPs to 401(k)s: How the World Invests Without Overthinking It

So here’s a weird coincidence. My friend Sarah in Chicago keeps talking about her “automatic investment plan”. My cousin Divya in Mumbai won’t shut up about her SIP. I sat there listening to both of them for months before realising, ‘Wait, they’re doing the exact same thing.’ What is a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), and […]

How Inflation Trends Are Shaping Mortgage Rates in 2025

My brother rang me last week. “Should I buy now or wait?” Everyone says rates are plummeting, but they’re not actually plummeting.” He has saved $80,000, been house hunting for six months, and keeps getting cold feet.

They really messed up a long way before anything got better. The reality of what goes on behind the scenes in real business struggles, stories of top entrepreneurs, is a bit […]

How to Buy an IPO: The Real Deal Nobody’s Telling You

Tom rang me up last month, practically screaming into the phone. “Bro, I’m gonna get rich off the Stripe IPO,” he says. “Easy money, man.” Had to tell him straight up, You’re dreaming, buddy. It doesn’t work like that. Nobody wants to admit this, but most of us regular people can’t actually buy IPO shares […]

The Nasdaq Thing Everyone Talks About But Nobody Really Explains

My brother called me last month. He’d just put some money into what he kept calling “Nasdaq stocks” and wanted to brag about his 15% returns. Good for him, I guess. But when I asked him to actually explain what is Nasdaq, he fumbled around for like two minutes before admitting he wasn’t totally sure […]
