James Di Gesu and Jim Lombardo sit down with Tejas Dessai, Director of Thematic Research at Global X ETFs, to explore how innovation cycles and industrial rewiring are transforming the global economy. Tejas breaks down why the AI revolution differs fundamentally from the dot-com bubble, focusing on cash flow, compute demand, and infrastructure bottlenecks. The conversation delves into the massive power demands of data centers, the urgent need for US grid revitalization, and why blue-collar labor (such as electricians and builders) is benefiting from this asset-heavy super cycle. They also examine how thematic ETFs allow investors to target high-conviction trends across AI infrastructure, electrification, robotics, defense tech, and covered call income strategies.

James DiGesu and Jim Lombardo sit down with Sam Cone — math major, former stunt performer turned NYU-trained attorney turned structured notes specialist at Belpointe — to demystify one of the most misunderstood tools in investing. Sam explains how structured notes actually work, why most notes on the market are bad deals, and how he negotiates custom terms directly with too-big-to-fail banks to build notes with 30% downside barriers, 150% uncapped upside, and automatic one-year call features that have been generating 17-21% call premiums. They also break down why structured notes are the engine behind annuities — without the caps, surrender charges, and fees.
