Kevin O'Leary is back on Money Rehab, and this time he's changed his tune on crypto. Nicole presses "Mr. Wonderful" on his wild reversal: from owning 27 coins to just two, why he thinks the real money is now in power infrastructure, and why the Clarity Act could break Bitcoinâs price ceiling.Kevin also gets into the messy, litigious world of data centers, including the lawsuits, the death threats against his own family, and where he thinks the money trail leads. Then things get personal: his $5 million "you're not wealthy until" rule, the eye-popping story behind the $35 million outfit he wore to the Oscars, and which Shark heâd call to bail him out of jail.Of course, no Kevin O'Leary episode is complete without a fight, so Nicole and Kevin reignite their $28 sandwich debate and reach a truce⊠Almost.Start investing investing at SoFi.com/MNN Check out Nicole's financial literacy course â The Money Schoolâ Find a Financial Advisor or Financial Coach from Nicole's company â Private Wealth Collectiveâ Watch video clips from the pod on â Money Rehab's Instagramâ and â Nicole Lapin's Instagramâ Here's what Nicole covers with Kevin:00:00 Are You Ready for Some Money Rehab?01:25 Kevin O'Leary Returns (RIP Labubu)02:05 Confessions of a "Social Media Whore"04:33 Buying Longevity: The Ozempic Debate07:30 Wealth, Health, and Sleep Optimization08:45 Inside Kevin's Lawsuit Playbook14:00 Foreign Adversaries and the Data Center Wars15:19 Debunking the Data Center Water Myth19:19 From 27 Coins to Just Two: Kevin's Crypto Reset23:55 The Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin26:36 Kevin's New Bitcoin Price Target29:01 Why Power, Not Crypto, Is the Real Trade33:07 Should You Still Buy Crypto Right Now?34:41 The Kidnapping Risk Nobody Talks About36:28 The Money Bag: Financial Envy38:01 The $5 Million Rule for Feeling Wealthy40:15 Why Kevin Refuses to Google His Net Worth42:23 The $35 Million Oscars Outfit49:19 Passing Down Collectibles (and the Tax Trap)51:40 Who Bails Kevin Out of Jail?58:56 Kill, Marry, Fire: Pelosi, Holmes, and Cathy Wood1:03:55 Data Center Death Threats1:04:16 Round Two: The $28 Sandwich Fight1:10:42 Kevin O'Leary's Tip You Can Take Straight to the BankAll investing involves risk, including loss of principal.

Comedian and creator Laura Clery built a media empire of 26 million followers, and then watched her marriage and her bank account collapse at the same time.Laura opens up about the financial wreckage of her divorce: how her ex-husband's relapse and addiction affected their financial lives, how she ended up paying two mortgages at once without fully understanding why, and the surreal moment she realized her water had been shut off. She walks Nicole through the costly mistake of choosing mediation over hiring a lawyer, why she couldn't afford the retainer when she finally needed one, and the moment her ex hacked her YouTube and Facebook accounts, deleting years of content and her entire livelihood in the process.Nicole and Laura also get into the bigger financial lessons: why Laura now insists every woman keep her own separate bank account, how watching her mother stay in a difficult marriage without financial independence shaped her own choices, and how she rebuilt. But first, Laura shares about the freak accident that almost killed her.Check out Nicole's financial literacy course â The Money Schoolâ Find a Financial Advisor or Financial Coach from Nicole's company â Private Wealth Collectiveâ Watch video clips from the pod on â Money Rehab's Instagramâ and â Nicole Lapin's Instagramâ Get What Doesnât Kill You Makes You HotterIf you or someone you know is struggling with the same issues Laura speaks of today, here are resources for addiction and domestic abuseHere's what Nicole covers with Laura:00:00 Are You Ready for Some Money Rehab?02:03 The Freak Refrigerator Accident12:24 The Inside Job Conspiracy14:35 Writing What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Hotter16:12 Early Money Dynamics With Her Ex18:31 Booking TV Commercials21:52 Becoming Facebook's Biggest Comedy Star23:45 Who Really Controlled the Money25:01 The First Relapse and Years in Recovery27:00 Catching the Infidelity29:53 When It All Went Public32:00 "You're Not a Victim, You're a Volunteer"37:08 No Prenup and Two Mortgages39:53 The Day Her Water Got Shut Off42:27 Choosing Mediation Over a Lawyer47:00 The Hack51:14 Post-Separation Abuse54:47 Why She'll Never Live With a Man Again58:37 Her Parents' Marriage and the Cost of Staying1:01:01 Why Every Woman Needs Her Own Bank Account1:01:51 "Mommy Has Money Again"1:02:39 Money Fixes Money Problems, Not Everything Else1:05:54 Reframing the Mental Block1:09:41 Laura Clery's Tip You Can Take Straight to the BankAll investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.

As Chief Investment Strategist at Hightower Advisors, Stephanie Link spends her days researching the market’s winners. Today, she's breaking it all down for us. Stephanie explains why the economy keeps defying the doom-and-gloom headlines, which stocks she thinks will champion the next decade, and why she believes we're only in the third inning of the AI revolution.
Nicole and Stephanie get tactical fast: the difference between the Mag 7 and the "S&P 493," which stocks are not worth the hype, and Stephanie's thesis that cybersecurity stocks will end up being bigger than AI. She names her favorite tickers across cybersecurity, data centers, robotics, and quantum computing, and explains whether it’s too late to buy NVIDIA. Stephanie also gets real about the so-called "AI bubble," the circular spending debate freaking out investors, and why she bought SpaceX but capped it at just 2% of her portfolio.
Plus: what her 19-year-old daughter is investing in, why "FAANG" just got a 2026 update, and the one boring, unsexy ETF Stephanie says every new investor should consider.

Employment attorney Ryan Stygar joins Nicole to hand us the playbook our employers hope they never find. He breaks down what "at-will employment" actually means and the exact moves to make the moment you get that dreaded out-of-nowhere email from HR. He also reveals everything that's negotiable in a severance package: the cash amount, COBRA coverage, equity vesting schedules, and non-disparagement clauses, and shares how he turned a $6,000 severance offer into over $60,000 for one client.Then Nicole and Ryan role-play a firing from both sides of the table â so you know exactly what to say and what never to say. They dig into the issues that disproportionately affect women at work: pregnancy discrimination (the number one form Ryan sees in his practice), his controversial-but-legally-sound advice to disclose your pregnancy early, what rights you have if you miscarry, and how return-to-office mandates are quietly being weaponized as stealth layoffs. Plus: AI keystroke monitoring, non-competes in the current legal landscape, and the interview questions that are totally illegal â that you're probably being asked right now.Check out Nicole's financial literacy course â The Money Schoolâ Find a Financial Advisor or Financial Coach from Nicole's company â Private Wealth Collectiveâ Watch video clips from the pod on â Money Rehab's Instagramâ and â Nicole Lapin's Instagramâ Get Ryan's book â Get It in Writingâ Here's what Nicole covers with Ryan: 00:00 Are You Ready for Some Money Rehab? 02:01 Ryan's Path: From Firefighter to Workers' Rights Lawyer 02:52 Nicole Gets Let Go From CNN 03:44 Why HR Is Not Your Friend 05:34 The Right (and Wrong) Way to Fire Someone 06:41 It's Illegal to Fire Someone for Discussing Their Pay 08:44 Building Your Paper Trail From Day One 20:07 At-Will Employment, Explained 24:50 What to Do the Moment You Get That HR Email 26:31 Don't Sign Anything When You're Fired 29:14 Severance Is Negotiable 31:54 How Contingency Lawyers Can Help (Even When You're Broke) 33:38 What Else Is on the Table: COBRA, Equity, and Non-Disparagement Clauses 37:38 Role Play: Getting Fired (What Not to Do) 39:23 Role Play: Getting Laid Off (The Right Way to Handle It) 44:09 How a Good Employer Handles the Conversation 46:34 Freelancers and the 1099 vs. W-2 Trap 49:59 The Fear of Getting Blacklisted for Asserting Your Rights 50:19 Sexual Harassment: Who's Most at Risk and What to Do 52:44 Maternity Leave and Pregnancy Discrimination 55:28 Controversial Advice: Disclose Your Pregnancy Early 59:14 What to Get in Writing When You're Pregnant 01:02:16 Your Rights If You Miscarry 01:04:59 Return to Office as a Stealth Layoff Strategy 01:08:10 AI Tracking and Keystroke Monitoring 01:12:25 Non-Competes: What You Need to Know in 2026 01:17:09 Illegal Interview Questions (Role Play) 01:23:00 Ryan Stygar's Tip You Can Take Straight to the BankAll investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.

Nicole used to think insurance was a boring subject.... until she lost her home in the Palisades fire.
Today, she is teaming up with the â Coalition for an Insurable Futureâ to tell you about what you need to know about the insurance issue that could become the next great American financial crisis, and how to protect yourself.
In this episode, Nicole sits down with Chloe Demrovsky, one of the nation's leading voices on disaster risk and resilience. Nicole and Chloe break down the numbers: homeowners insurance premiums are up 74% since 2008, 40% faster than inflation, and 95% of American homeowners are already feeling it. Then they get tactical: what "uninsurable" actually means, the coverage gaps that catch most people off guard (spoiler: flood is not in your standard homeowners policy), and the exact steps to take before a disaster strikes.

Miller is the number one most-followed voice in AI business and an advisor to Fortune 500 companies , and she's on Money Rehab to tell us that most people are leaving serious money on the table by treating AI like a productivity tool. Today, Allie joins Nicole to break down exactly how to use AI as a wealth strategy in 2026 and beyond.
Allie pulls back the curtain on her AI workforce (34 agents named after Friends characters) and explains why delegation is now a financial strategy, not just a productivity hack. She and Nicole dig into the most important question everyone has right now: what's safe to share with AI, and what isn't? From feeding Claude your insurance policy after a disaster, to connecting AI directly to your investment accounts, Allie lays out how to think about risk and leverage when it comes to your financial data.
They also tackle the hard questions about kids and AI: AI companionship dangers, AI toys, age limits, whether college is even coming back, and why "AI scams are the new white vans." Finally, Allie shares her honest, unfiltered take on investing in AI companies, why she's long-term bullish, and the bold predictions people are calling her crazy for making today.

Stand-up comedian and writer Josh Johnson returns to Money Rehab nearly two years after his first time on the show. Since then, he has become a hosting correspondent on The Daily Show, reached millions of followers on socials and continued to post a new stand up set to YouTube (he’s done this for 156 consecutive weeks). He talks about how he’s avoided lifestyle creep as his career has flourished, the best money advice he’s received, and why being broke is like drowning in a swimming pool.
Then, Nicole gets Josh’s take on some of the strangest recent money headlines, including a woman who reportedly saved $15,000 on groceries by going on dates, Victoria’s Secret stock jumping 48% after changing its ticker to “VSXY,” and why taxes are apparently making Gen Z cry.

Inflation just hit 3.8%, the highest it's been since 2023. That means that $100 you had in January? It's worth about $96.30 today.
So today, Nicole breaks down three tools that protect your money when inflation runs hot: I bonds, TIPS, and gold. She explains exactly how each one works, who each is best for, and the critical differences between them — including why gold didn't spike during the pandemic inflation surge the way everyone expected, and why right now might actually be different.
Plus, Nicole shares a little-known strategy called the "gift box" method that lets couples legally stack up to $40,000 in I bond purchases in a single calendar year.

Nicole is joined by journalist and podcast host Nayeema Raza, host of Smart Girl Dumb Questions, for a crossover episode!
This is a shame-free conversation about the money questions we’re all holding in, starting with perhaps the most loaded one of all: should you buy a home?
Nicole breaks down the 5% rule for renting vs. buying, why she personally chose not to buy, and how to strip the emotion out of a decision that's usually anything but. She also answers common questions about debt, HSAs, growing generational wealth and more. Plus, Nayeema and Nicole talk about which expenses are worth going into debt for, and what Mark Cuban told Nayeema about how money can make you feel poorer the wealthier you become.

Chris Voss spent two decades at the FBI and became the Bureau’s lead kidnapping negotiator. Today he sits down with Nicole to teach you how to leverage the same psychological tactics to get the salary you want. Chris and Nicole break down exactly what to say to get a raise, how to walk into a new job offer and negotiate without burning bridges, and how to get people to want to pay you more.
Chris reveals why finding “common ground” is actually a recipe for resentment, why throwing out a number first can kill a deal, and the three conflict types — fight, flight, and make friends — that explain how almost every deal goes sideways.
Then Nicole and Chris get into why remote work might be quietly tanking your career, an analysis of President Trump’s negotiation style and The Art of the Deal, plus the two lines of code planted in your head before age five that drive everything you do with money, work, and relationships. Finally, because Nicole had to ask, Chris explains what you should say if you’re ever in a hostage situation.

Allison Ellsworth built Poppi from a homemade prebiotic soda to a $2 billion brand acquired by Pepsi… but you already know that. Today, Allison talks about what happens afterward, and how to follow-up a successful first act.
Allison opens up about the unexpected grief of letting go of a company that was her identity, and the pressure of building a new company after a successful exit. She also digs into advice for anyone who has a different money mindset than their spouse, and how to find common ground.
Plus, Allison shares how she’s talking to her three young kids about money and work— and why her kids waving her off with "Have fun, Mom" is her greatest parenting win.

Glennda Baker has been a real estate broker for decades, built a massive social media following teaching everyday people how to buy and sell smart, and learned some of the biggest money lessons the hard way… including a divorce where her ex looked her in the face and called her a "cash cow." Today, she joins Nicole to share what she knows about protecting your wealth, winning in today's housing market, and building real estate into generational wealth.
Glennda gets raw about her own financial trauma: the manipulation she didn't see coming in her marriage, the moment she was evicted to a vacant rental with her son and hit rock bottom, and why she will never get married again. She explains exactly how divorce hits women differently than men, including a hidden math problem most people miss when splitting a house at today's interest rates. Then Nicole and Glennda get into the real estate playbook.
They fact-check the viral real estate advice flooding your feed, from writing letters to homeowners to get off-market deals, to using a HELOC for a down payment, to buying property through individual LLCs. Glennda also makes her case for why buying a house for your kid beats a 529, why private equity is keeping Bobby and Susie off the property ladder, and the one negotiation move every buyer should make at closing.

Today, Nicole unpacks the exact accounts she opened for her daughter, the math that makes starting early almost unfair, and the money script she's determined to rewrite for the next generation. Whether you have a newborn, a teenager, or you're realizing you wish someone had done this for you, this episode is a blueprint.
Nicole breaks down how a 529 plan is far more flexible than most parents realize, why a custodial brokerage account is less about returns and more about teaching kids that money grows quietly in the background, and why a retirement account for a one-year-old is not as insane as it sounds — it's one of the most powerful financial moves a parent can make.

You’ve probably seen the headlines about luxury investments outperforming the stock market… but is that actually true? And more importantly, is this a game only for millionaires, or is there a way for the rest of us to get in on it too?
Today, Nicole is joined by Dana Auslander, former Blackstone executive and founder of Luxus, a luxury alternative asset manager with the first dedicated Hermès Birkin fund. In this conversation, Dana unpacks the viral headlines, why her investment thesis puts Hermès bags ahead of other luxury brands like Chanel and Louis Vuitton, and how to invest in a Birkin without buying a Birkin.
Then, Nicole and Dana zoom out and explain what the luxury investment trends mean for retail investors, how the macroeconomy impacts luxury investments, and what the counterfeiting problem could mean for the whole market. Then, Dana goes beyond bags and rates watches, art, wine, and jewelry as alternative investments.

Jason Oppenheim (real estate broker, founder of the Oppenheim Group— the brokerage covered on Selling Sunset) starts this conversation with a take Nicole was not expecting: it's a buyer's market, and he'd know, because he's been renting for the last three years himself.
In this conversation, Jason covers every hot-button topic in real estate. He unpacks how he thinks AI will disrupt real estate and why he believes humanoid robots will be showing houses within the next two decades. He gets brutally honest about the LA market, why wealthy people are fleeing major cities in droves, and shares the cities he thinks real estate investors should avoid.
He makes the case that renting is not "throwing money away" — in fact, he argues that in many cases renting is a smarter financial move. He and Nicole also debate whether there's actually a housing affordability crisis (Jason says we're misdefining it), how he thinks about money and happiness, and why he hasn’t changed his financial goals since he was broke.

The SpaceX IPO will likely be the largest public offering in history... But before you get excited, Nicole breaks down how the IPO machine actually works, and why some of the smartest people in finance say the system is rigged against you.
Nicole walks through the full IPO process step by step: what underwriters actually do (and what they charge for it), how the roadshow and book-building work, and why the price you'll pay on IPO day is not the price institutional investors paid. She also covers what SpaceX employees need to know right now about their equity, stock options, RSUs, lockup periods, and the tax surprises that can blindside you before you sell a single share.
Then, Nicole shares the framework she uses to evaluate any IPO, including the two sections of the S-1 prospectus most retail investors skip, and explains how you can get in on SpaceX before the IPO.

Emma Grede built a business and media empire (including brands like Good American and SKIMS) without a safety net. Today, she joins Nicole to pull back the curtain on the money mindset, negotiation tactics, and hard-won lessons that got her there.
Emma gets raw about paying herself £45K while paying a male hire £150K to do a worse job, the moment Good American sold $1 million worth of inventory on day one (and why her investors turned on her by noon), and creative strategies she’s used to close major deals. She and Nicole also dig into Emma's exact playbook for negotiating a raise, the traps women fall into with money, and why Emma never lends money — she just gives it.
Then they get into the taboos: prenups, the questions people should stop asking female founders, and whether financial planning and family planning should ever be kept separate.
