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.

How Pilots & Doctors Legally Write Off Their W-2 Income | Mechanics of Money
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most high earners are told the same thing: your W-2 salary can't be sheltered. Tait Duryea built a firm proving otherwise.
In this episode of Mechanics of Money, Sam Silverman sits down with Tait Duryea: third-generation airline pilot and founder of Turbine Capital, now the largest airline pilot investor network in the world. They unpack why oil & gas is one of the few asset classes that lets W-2 earners offset active income, why the "industrial vacancy crisis" is mostly a measurement error, and why Tait believes the next decade belongs to owners of hard assets, not holders of dollars.
In this conversation:
- Why a narrow niche beats a broad audience when you're raising your first capital
- The real story behind industrial vacancy, and where the sub-2% pockets actually are
- Senior housing and the demographic "silver tsunami" almost nobody is building for
- How non-operated working interests create year-one tax write-offs
- The macro case for hard assets in an era of money printing
- Why Tait is rotating toward private debt as net worth grows
Topics covered:
Tait's background as a third-generation pilot • building a niche investor network • the LP-to-GP path in real estate • industrial real estate and the vacancy myth • senior housing and demographic tailwinds • operating vs. partnering on deals • the case for oil & gas • tax treatment of working interests • building an investment team in-house • money supply and the dollar • interest rates and real estate values • the future of Turbine Capital • private debt and cash flow • travel and life off the clock
