Financially Speaking

In this special breaking news episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the kidnapping of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, taken from her Tucson home in the middle of the night, and the $6 million Bitcoin ransom demand that followed. Dr. Evans examines why the kidnapper's decision to demand cryptocurrency may be one of their biggest mistakes, explaining how Bitcoin's public blockchain creates a permanent, traceable record that law enforcement can follow in real time.  
 
The episode separates fact from fiction on crypto and crime, debunking persistent myths about Bitcoin anonymity and traceability, and explores how fear-based media narratives about cryptocurrency shape policy and impact access for underserved communities. A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand what Bitcoin actually is — and isn't — when it comes to criminal activity.

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Mark Twain’s words remind us that the past is a guidebook, not a relic. In today’s episode, “The Human Work of Progress: Reflections on Dr. King’s Legacy,” Jacquette explores how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s radical reimagination of America was far more than hope; it was strategy, courage, and a refusal to accept the default.
Reimagination is often the first act of change. It asks us to question norms, challenge the status quo, and examine what we truly value. Jacquette reflects on the endurance and experimentation that fueled the Civil Rights Movement, and how Dr. King understood that progress was never linear and never achieved through a single act.
She invites listeners to take a lesson from his legacy: the How and the When matter just as much as the What. When you honor all three, you move with intention, resilience, and clarity—especially in the moments that test you most.
Tune in and let Dr. King’s examples strengthen your own path forward.

Bitcoin has been declared dead more than 460 times — and this week's crash from its October all-time high of $126,000 to a low of $60,000 had the obituary writers sharpening their pens again. In this episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down what actually happened, why it happened, and why understanding Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle is the difference between panic and preparation. She unpacks the global forces behind this selloff — from the Kevin Warsh Fed nomination to U.S./Iran tensions to billions in cascading liquidations — and explains why this crash isn't really about Bitcoin at all. If you've been rattled by the headlines or tempted to sell everything, this is the episode that puts the noise in context and gives you the knowledge to navigate what comes next.

“Buy now! Sell now! Decide now!”
We hear it everywhere, but "now" isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the most powerful move you can make is to pause.
In today’s episode, “Here’s an Important Reminder—Not Everything Needs to Be Decided Right Now,” Jacquette shares how her three guiding and grounding words for the year — reimagine, rebuild, experiment — are helping her resist what she calls “The January Effect,” that rush to make fast, definitive decisions. She reminds us that this perceived pressure doesn’t disappear after January; in money, business, and life, it’s constant. What matters is how you navigate it. One thoughtful decision at a time. One flexible step after another.
If you’ve been feeling the push to decide everything immediately, this episode offers the permission — and the perspective — to slow down and choose with intention.
