Dividend stocks don’t get the hype of high-growth tech names — but they’ve quietly delivered some of the market’s best long-term returns.
Investor Matt Argersinger joins Chris Hill to break down why dividend-paying companies can outperform, why younger investors shouldn’t ignore them, and how the stigma around dividends began to fade. They discuss:
- The myth that dividend stocks are “for retirees”
- Losing his first $500 investing in a failed computer company
- The shift in investor thinking after companies like Apple embraced dividends
- When growth stocks make sense — and when they don’t

What’s it like to launch a financial career at the worst possible moment?
Douglas Boneparth, CFP and president of Bone Fide Wealth, moved to New York City in 2008 as Bear Stearns collapsed and the Great Financial Crisis began. But his money story started much earlier — in a household where personal finance was never taboo. He talks with Chris Hill about:
- Early lessons in entrepreneurship
- The challenge of leaving a family firm to build his own path
- Managing student debt and New York City rent
- An investing lesson he wishes he had learned earlier

Tim Hanson didn’t set out to become a capital allocator.

Today he’s the President and CIO at Permanent Equity, helping steward long-term investments in private companies built to last. But his path to investing included playwriting, early stock picks, and lessons about money that started in childhood. Chris Hill talks with Tim about what separates investing from allocating capital — and why the distinction matters, as well as:
- The first stock Tim ever bought (and what he learned from it)
- How Permanent Equity thinks about holding businesses for decades
- Raising kids who understand ownership
- A surprising purchase that says more about capital discipline than you’d think
