This week on Degen Download, we break down Warren Buffett's big announcement — and what it really means for Berkshire Hathaway and markets at large. Then we dive into the return of SPAC mania (are we back?), and why it might actually make sense this time. Plus, Dave Portnoy goes scorched earth in punishing whoever disrespected him, his people, and his club -- we get into the drama and what it says about the future of America. As always, we’re bringing the facts, a few hot takes, and plenty of laughs. Let’s get into it.

On this episode, we're joined by Dan Calabro, founder of ⁠Ferris⁠. This one’s a wild ride — we cover it all. We get into the Shannon Sharpe drama, how AI is already starting to reshape the construction industry, and even dive into a few conspiracy theories. We also break down some insane engineering facts from 9/11 and take a closer look at how tariffs are hammering the industry.

On top of that, we talk about the future of crypto, the impact of tech disruption on business, and the lessons we've learned around personal branding and adapting to change. And of course, we dig into why AI might just be the endgame.
