Discover the hidden psychology behind how retailers like Amazon and Delta use scarcity
marketing to trick you into spending more, plus the essential money hacks for your daily
Starbucks run.
Hosts Ted Jenkin and Southside Steve Rickman dive deep into the world of capitalism,
showing you how to navigate the financial landscape of 2026, protect your wealth from
financial cheating in relationships, and why you should never call your insurance company
first after a disaster.
We also break down the high-stakes world of professional sports and business penalties,
including why Brooks Koepka faces a $90 million fine to rejoin the PGA Tour. Learn how to
spot the three most dangerous words in marketing—Free, Zero, and Sale—and discover how

your wallet.
In the Green Room, we sit down with Scott Marshall, CEO of TACH USA. A lifelong
entrepreneur with 30 years of experience, Scott shares his journey from losing everything in
