Mechanics of Money
Stop saving. Start allocating.
Mechanics of Money is the technical manual for high-net-worth individuals moving from "High Earner" to "Sophisticated Allocator."
Hosted by Sam Silverman (Silverman Capital), this show strips away the "get rich quick" hype to focus on the operational and financial mechanics of wealth preservation. We sit down with founders, fund managers, and tax strategists managing billions in assets to decode exactly how the ultra-wealthy structure their capital.
We cover:
• Private Markets: Deep dives into Multifamily Syndications, Private Credit, and PE.
• Tax Strategy: Advanced frameworks like 1031 Exchanges, Bonus Depreciation, and Opportunity Zones.
• Risk Management: How to vet operators and protect your downside.
Whether you are looking to place your first $50k into a syndication or managing an 8-figure family office, we provide the blueprint.

Ever wonder why so many founders fail, even with great ideas? Serial entrepreneur James Sinclair drops some serious truth bombs about the real challenges of the startup journey - stuff most "experts" won't tell you.
From bootstrapping your first venture to achieving successful exits, James shares raw, unfiltered advice about what it ACTUALLY takes to build a company. He breaks down why most first-time founders are set up to fail, the dangerous ego traps to avoid, and why being a great #2 might be better than being a mediocre founder.
Whether you're dreaming of starting a company or already in the trenches, this episode is your reality check. No fluff, no sugar-coating - just honest insights from someone who's been there, failed that, and eventually figured it out.
Key topics:
- The uncomfortable truth about startup "hard work"
- Why your stealth mode is probably killing you
- How to know if you're really founder material
