“Nicole Daeila’s Journey from Self-Taught Trader to PE Executive”

This week’s guest is someone who exemplifies both intelligence and intention. I sat down with Nicole Daeila, Director of Capital Markets at MAG Capital Partners, to talk through what it really takes to build sustainable wealth—not just for yourself, but for your family.

Nicole’s story is grounded in action. She started trading stocks and options while still in college—no paper trading, no hand-holding—just a strong will to figure it out. Now, she’s helping to lead one of the top private equity firms focused on industrial real estate. Her focus: food production, U.S. manufacturing, and recession-resilient assets.

What I appreciated most was her clarity.
She’s not just chasing returns—she’s designing freedom.

In this episode, we covered 🎯:

✨ How Nicole is building a 7-figure real estate portfolio to retire her parents

✨ The truth about CCIM and why it’s so difficult to earn

✨ The role of self-education vs. formal credentials in wealth building

✨ Why investing in your own skillset always comes first

✨ And how to build a real network—without pretending to be someone you’re not

If you’re serious about bridging purpose and profit—this one’s for you.

🚨 Episode 63 Just Dropped: From Family Medicine to Full-Time Trader — Dr. Samantha Bingham’s Exit Strategy 🎙️

Most physicians talk about wanting more time for their families. Few actually take the steps. Even fewer succeed.

Dr. Samantha did.

On Episode 63 of the Lightspeed Investing Podcast, we bring back one of our standout clients — a family medicine physician who didn’t just set a target to cut back on clinical hours… she walked away entirely.

Her journey started with a night class, a skeptical but curious mind, and one day a week to practice. She wasn’t sure it would work. But she moved anyway.

➡️ Today, she trades full-time.
➡️ Her confidence and profitability are stronger than ever.
➡️ And she’s helping build her family's next business — on her own terms.

What made the difference?

“There’s actually a method… not just a feeling. The way you taught technicals, it finally made sense — like reading a patient’s history or an x-ray. It clicked.”

This is what we strive for. Real skill, real confidence, and real-life application.

Trading isn't for everyone — but for the ones who think like scientists, who are done guessing, and who want control without gambling, there’s a better path.

🎙 Podcast Episode 62 is live.
This one’s for the high performers. 💼⚡

In Part 3 of our conversation, Peter Faleskini—founder of Orgon Wellness—returns to share three foundational truths that most professionals ignore until it's too late:

🧠 Rest is not optional. Your nervous system has a limit, and when it breaks, so do you.
🤝 Accountability shouldn’t only apply to KPIs—it should apply to your health and relationships too.
🔮 Esoteric knowledge—whether spiritual or philosophical—grounds your success with meaning.

Peter managed $11B before health challenges forced him to shift gears. Now, he helps mid-career leaders recalibrate, recover, and realign. 🔄

This is one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about burnout, nervous system overload, and how the drive to keep going can wreck everything if you don’t step back. 🚫🏃‍♂️

If you’re the kind of person who powers through everything… this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. 🔥

🚨 Just Dropped: My Conversation with Randy Otterbridge & Robert Heath, Sr. 🎙️

I had the honor of joining two brilliant minds, Randy Otterbridge and Robert Heath, Sr. on their podcast—and let me tell you, this wasn’t just another guest spot. It was a real, raw, and powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, legacy, and the mindset required to build something that actually lasts.

We covered a lot of ground:
✅ How I went from nearly pursuing surgery to launching Lightspeed Investing
✅ Why the vehicle matters more than the destination
✅ The power of mentorship—both paid and virtual—in compressing your learning curve
✅ How to build multiple parachutes before you make the leap
✅ Why many of our clients eventually become leaders on our team
✅ And what it means to be a city boy turned Jayhawk 😎

We also dove into why training is at the heart of everything we do at Lightspeed Investing. It’s how we scale, how we create impact, and how we turn skill sets into six-figure incomes. Whether you’re a professional, a business owner, or just someone tired of building someone else’s dream—there’s a lane here for you.

And for those wondering, yes, podcasting is one of my favorite platforms. It’s not just content—it’s connection. It lets me show up authentically, build relationships, and create awareness in a way that’s aligned with who I am.

💡 As Rob reminded me during our chat: “A person can endure almost any ‘how’ if they have a ‘why’ that’s big enough.” That’s the mission. That’s the mindset. That’s Lightspeed.

🎙 Episode 60 – The Mind-Body Code: A Deeper Look at Holistic Health with Peter Faleskini (Part 2)

Back by demand, Peter Faleskini returns to the Lightspeed Investing Podcast—this time diving deeper into how he’s combining ancient wisdom, modern medicine, and AI to tackle the roots of chronic stress, disease, and burnout.

Peter isn’t just building health resorts between Switzerland and Italy—he’s building a framework for total human optimization. His team is diagnosing emotional blocks before they become physical illness. Think: stress-induced disease identified years before symptoms show up.

🎯 We also unpack:
🌟 How Carl Jung’s teachings shape his psychoanalytic-first method
🌟 Why most of his clients are high-performing professionals making $300K+ but feeling stuck
🌟 How AI is accelerating personalized healing diagnostics
🌟 The real difference between mind-driven versus symptom-driven medicine
🌟 And why spirituality is part of the deeper conversation (but only if you’re open to it)

As someone who left medicine to build a firm focused on sustainable wealth and vitality, I find Peter’s work both disruptive and necessary.

If you're in a high-achieving season of life but feel off-track emotionally or physically—this one's worth a listen.

🎙️ I had the real pleasure of joining Jacob Alinsky, also known as Magnus Carter on his podcast “Making More Money for You!” — and this one’s personal, powerful, and packed with real talk about wealth creation beyond the traditional path.

We went deep on my journey — from aspiring surgeon to CEO of Lightspeed Investing. From walking away from medicine to building a career in futures and commodities trading, entrepreneurship, and financial education — it’s been a wild ride driven by big dreams and calculated risk.

Here’s some of what we covered:
✅ Why I left the “safe” path of medicine — and never looked back
✅ How mentorship reshaped my trajectory
✅ The truth about futures & commodities — and why they’re still massively underutilized
✅ Why technical analysis is the “x-ray vision” of today’s financial markets
✅ How professionals from medicine, IT, real estate, and beyond are creating life-changing income in minutes — not months
✅ My long-term goal of owning an NBA team — and the strategy behind it 💼🏀
✅ And yes, how you can learn to trade from your phone… even on the beach 🌴

Whether you're a trader, entrepreneur, investor, or just wondering if the “safe” path is really your path — this conversation will shift how you think about money, freedom, and what’s possible.

🚨 Lightspeed Investing Podcast Episode 59 just dropped – and it’s a heater 🔥

🎧 Part 3 with Kraig Swanson, Founder of Swanson Reserve Capital

Ever wondered how to build a portfolio like a championship basketball team instead of rolling the dice in Vegas? Kraig walks us through:

🏀 Level 1: The Team Owner
Principal-Protected Notes
You’re not on the court — just focused on stable returns and protection from major losses.
📈 Target: 10–12% annually

🏀 Level 2: The Defensive Player
Income Notes
You’re playing defense, focused on steady income with more risk and higher potential reward.
📈 Target: ~17% annually

🏀 Level 3: The Scorer (aka Kobe Bryant Mode)
Growth Notes
You’re on offense, going for the big win with higher risk and the highest reward.
📈 Target: ~20% annually

Kraig’s analogy-driven breakdown makes this stuff click—you’ll never think about investing the same way after hearing how Amazon, Tesla, and Kobe Bryant all fit into a structured note strategy. 🧠

We also talked about:
✅ The real role of risk management in wealth building
✅ How non-correlation can protect and boost returns
✅ The “memory” feature and other built-in defenses
✅ Why understanding structured protection is a game-changer in today’s market
