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: The Truth About SBA Loans and Buying a Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people don't realize an SBA loan for a small business acquisition requires a personal guarantee on everything you own: your house, your savings, your future income.
In this episode, Sam Silverman and Chris Wirthlin break down the three real paths into business ownership: building from scratch, buying with an SBA loan, or passively investing through preferred equity.
We cover why EBITDA doesn't equal cash in your pocket, how two bad months of seasonality can wipe out a small business, and why a high-paying W-2 may be one of the most underrated wealth vehicles most people give up too early.
Episode 2 of Acquisitions & Asphalt. New episodes Tuesdays.
