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.

Acquisitions & Asphalt: How to Build a Roll-Up Most Investors Overlook
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when two operators from tech backgrounds decide to build a $100M+ platform in one of the most unglamorous industries in America? Turns out, a lot.
In this first episode of the Acquisitions & Asphalt series, Sam Silverman and Chris Wirthlin break down exactly why they chose asphalt paving as their roll-up thesis, and why the boring is actually the point.
They cover:
- Why paving is a $130–170B market with no dominant player
- What a roll-up actually is (and why "buy at 3x, sell at 8x" is way oversimplified)
- How they source, structure, and close deals
- What really happens after you acquire a company; the part no one talks about online
- Why SBA loans scare them, and what they do instead
- The real deal structure behind their Texas acquisition
- How they're growing Cornerstone 5X in under a year
This is a weekly series. New episodes every Tuesday.
