About this episode

In this episode of Money Moves, Matty and Ryan unpack the key takeaways from hosting the first-ever Wise Investor Collective Summit in Napa Valley—an unforgettable experience full of networking, world-class speakers, and bucket-list venues. They reflect on the importance of building community, cultivating “relationship currency,” and how proximity to the right rooms can elevate your wealth journey.


The hosts also dive into pressing economic topics, including the looming government shutdown, Fed rate cuts, and what recent wage and housing data mean for affordability and real estate investing. A highlight of the discussion is a thought-provoking perspective from Ray Dalio on whether real estate is still a strong investment in today’s environment, sparking a deeper conversation about diversification between real estate, stocks, and other assets.


If you want to better understand how to navigate shifting markets, position yourself for long-term wealth, and learn from the smartest minds in the room, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
