Our Newest Employee
You’ll never guess who’s visiting the Water Cooler today…
In fact, this is the first time I’ve ever handed the reins to someone else.
He’s taking over to tell you about a special project we’ve started at Paradigm Press — a systematic effort to make our services even better than ever before.
The benefits to you could be tremendous. And you’ll even have an unusual opportunity to steer our future direction.
I’ll introduce our guest in a bit — then let him tell you what’s up.
But first, let’s take a look at our Top Stories and the Reader Forum.
Your Top Stories & Analysis of the Week:
- “On Fatherhood” (Rude Awakening, Sean Ring): Omega Wealth Circle member Edwin P. nominated this one, calling it “especially poignant.” Sean reveals one of the worst lies of his generation — and how making up for lost time has truly transformed his life. Using his own son as an example, Sean eloquently weaves together insights from psychology, economics and personal anecdotes to explain how to achieve wealth beyond monetary gain.
- “I Just Got Censored by AI” (The Rundown, Matt Insley): Artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up a tremendous number of opportunities, as we’ve discussed before. But AI can also be used to reinforce mainstream narratives and silence dissenting views. Matt recently experienced this first-hand. All he did was express an opinion contrary to the ones set in stone by programmers — leading to a total shutdown from the machine mind. He shares the story… and what it means to you.
- ”Worms in the Woodwork” (Daily Reckoning, Jim Rickards): The economic numbers continue to look good on the surface. But just a little bit of digging reveals problems on the horizon. Jim walks you through everything investors are ignoring — from the troubling source of economic growth to the first stirrings of another banking crisis. And, of course, he explains why the Federal Reserve is powerless to stop what’s coming… as well as what you can do to prepare and protect yourself.
Remember, we publish tens to HUNDREDS of stories. The write-ups and presentations above are our TOP ones for the week. If you want to stay ahead of the pack, make sure you’re caught up now.
And if you’d like to nominate any of our stories for next week’s “Top 3,” just let me know at concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com.
The Reader Forum:
First in the Reader Forum today, Omega Wealth Circle Member Ben M. uses the members-only inbox to tell us:
I feel compelled to reach out and share my journey since joining Paradigm Press, which has been nothing short of enlightening these past few weeks. The experience has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and a sharpened perspective on the financial markets.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Ben — as well as for joining our highest level of service! When Matt passed this along to me, I immediately wanted to share it with everyone.
I’m very happy to hear that you’re making good use of all of the tools available to you… and I look forward to hearing your success stories!
Next up, Emma S. says:
[I] want to say big thanks to the Paradigm Press team for giving us subscribers the opportunity to ask the experts simple questions to help us understand what's happening in the economy… I never liked Economics while in school (although I passed with better than average grades). And you guys make it easier for me.
Emma, thanks for the kind words and positive feedback. Our team tackles some pretty complicated topics… and we work hard to make them accessible to everyone.
We’re always standing by to help if you still need help understanding something. So don’t be afraid to drop us a line. You might not be the only one with the same question… and speaking out could help everyone.
(Our special guest will have more to say about this in a second.)
As I always say, we’re encouraged by compliments. But I’m also standing by to clear up any questions or concerns you may have.
This week, for instance, Shy B. says:
I am confused as to why these other people, besides James Altucher, are sending requests for me to subscribe to their stock picks.
Hi, Shy! Thanks for joining Altucher’s Investment Network… and sorry for any confusion.
When you signed up for James’ service, you became part of his extended Network — which includes the entire team at Paradigm Press.
The fact is, if you want multiple profit streams, you need to explore more than a single strategy. And our staff includes world-class experts who each tackle the markets from a unique perspective.
That’s why we email you — to introduce them and explain their investment approaches.
If their strategies don’t fit your outlook and goals, feel free to ignore these emails. But I do suggest hearing them out… because you’ll learn about lucrative opportunities you’d miss otherwise.
I hope that helps!
And that wraps up this week’s Reader Forum.
Remember, your feedback is vital to our success… so please email me at concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com.
Questions? I’ll get answers! Comments? Let me hear them! Problems? I’ll try to solve them!
This is YOUR forum!
(And don’t forget, we also have a FREE library of introductory guides on our Wealth Desk. For customer service issues, please use our contact page.)
Now, as I mentioned earlier, we have our first-ever guest speaker in the Water Cooler.
It’s Executive Publisher Matt Insley, the head of Paradigm Press.
Last week, he gathered the entire team to launch a new company-wide initiative.
Today, he wants to share the idea directly with our most important member — YOU!
So I’ll let him explain it from here…
The Water Cooler — Upcoming Events and More
Hi, Matt Insley here…
Your relationship with Paradigm Press likely started with a single email.
It could have been an issue of Rude Awakening… 5 Bullets… Altucher’s Confidential… Daily Proof… Daily Reckoning… or one of other free e-letters.
And as good as these services are, I want to take them to an entirely new level.
I will not be happy until every single one of them is a crucial part of your day.
So last Thursday, I called the entire staff together for a mandatory assignment.
Over the next two weeks, everyone — graphic designers, marketers, even our IT team — will set aside some time each day to read our front-line e-letters.
Then they’ll review them with a short checklist, critiquing everything from the subject line to how useful the content is.
The goal is to get our entire team — regardless of their role in the company — thinking about how we present ourselves to the world.
I also expect the diverse perspectives to reveal new and better ways of doing things — stuff we haven’t thought of because we’ve been stuck in our own little bubbles.
The benefits to you should be obvious. Better, more engaging content helps you become even more informed about what’s happening in the world.
You’ll have the tools you need to make better decisions — which will help you become more successful.
That’s why I’m inviting you to take part in this project, too.
In a way, it’s like becoming a member of our staff… without any of the hard work.
All you have to do is let Dustin know your favorite articles at concierge@paradigmpressgroup.com.
I hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to work alongside my entire staff.
With your help, we’ll create a Paradigm Press 2.0 — a gateway to better services… new insights… and even more strategies for achieving financial independence.
