What do investing, marketing, and life plans have in common? Timing. Screw it up, and even your best ideas crash harder than a piñata at a kid’s party.
First, René tackles the age-old question... Can you time the market? And more importantly, should you even try? From lucky guesses to costly mistakes, he breaks down why chasing perfect timing might be the most expensive hobby you’ll ever have.
Then Darryl dives into the tragic world of marketing flops that had all the right ingredients, except for one thing... timing. Think of great campaigns that launched during scandals, before payday, or the day the world ended (metaphorically of course). You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even rethink that “Christmas in July” promo.
Finally, we’re calling B.S. on the idea that you’re too late. Too late to change careers, get married, have kids, write that book, or chase whatever dream’s been sitting in your Notes app since 2017. This is your pep talk in podcast form.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or late bloomer (hi... we see you), this episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered if they missed their moment.
Hit play for market truths, marketing fails, and a much-needed reminder that your timeline is yours... and you’re right on track.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
