Joe joins us to share his story, insights on why self-storage stands out as both a business and a real estate play, and practical advice for investors.

Episode 21 - Stocks are Crashing... Do This Now

In this episode of No Day Like Today , Brandon dives into the chaos rocking tech and growth stocks right now. As of February 6, 2026 market close, names like $SOFI (~35% off ATH), $HOOD (~46%), $COIN (~61%), $MSTR (~71%), $HIMS (~67%), and others are getting hammered amid crypto volatility, macro rotation, and valuation resets—while giants like $AMZN and $GOOG hold up better. But the real headline? Elon Musk's blockbuster move: SpaceX has acquired xAI in the largest merger ever, creating a $1.25 trillion private powerhouse (SpaceX ~$1T, xAI ~$250B). This isn't just paperwork—it's Musk uniting AI (Grok & massive models), rockets (Starship/Falcon), Starlink internet, direct-to-mobile tech, and the X platform into one vertically integrated empire. The wild vision? Orbital AI data centers in space—thousands (or even a million) satellites harnessing unlimited solar power and vacuum cooling to bypass Earth's grid limits. All ahead of a massive SpaceX IPO expected mid-2026. Brandon breaks down the stock declines, what’s driving them, the strategic genius (and risks) behind the SpaceX-xAI merger, heavy speculation about a future Tesla tie-in, and why this Musk convergence excites him despite the market turbulence.
