| The AI Stock You Need to Watch Right Now (It's Not Nvidia) | 07 Sep 2026 | 00:19:30 | |
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross delivers a deep dive into Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) and explains why he believes Micron stock could be one of the most overlooked AI stocks in the market. While Nvidia and other semiconductor companies dominate the artificial intelligence conversation, Ross argues that the AI revolution cannot function without one critical component: memory. He breaks down Micron’s role in the booming AI infrastructure market, why high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has become essential for advanced AI processors and data centers, and why increasing demand for memory could fundamentally change the way Wall Street values Micron. Ross examines the history of MU stock, Micron’s highly cyclical past, and why the current AI memory boom may represent something different from previous semiconductor cycles. He explains how HBM, DRAM, AI servers, data centers, AI PCs, smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and robotics are creating massive new demand for advanced memory. Ross also discusses the relationship between supply constraints and pricing power, why semiconductor manufacturing capacity cannot be expanded overnight, and how Micron could benefit as AI infrastructure spending continues to accelerate. He also explains why the AI investment opportunity goes far beyond Nvidia and why companies supplying the critical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence may become some of the biggest winners of the AI boom. Finally, Ross breaks down his bullish Micron stock analysis while addressing the risks investors need to understand ahead of Micron’s upcoming earnings. He discusses competition from SK Hynix and Samsung, the risks of semiconductor oversupply, geopolitical exposure, capital expenditures, HBM adoption, pricing, margins, and the dangers of chasing a stock simply because its price has already moved higher. Ross explains what he will be watching in Micron earnings, why investors should focus on future demand and economics rather than a single quarterly number, and why he believes AI may have permanently increased the strategic importance of memory. For investors researching Micron stock, MU stock prediction, AI stocks, semiconductor stocks, HBM memory, Nvidia alternatives, Micron earnings, and artificial intelligence investing, this episode breaks down the bull case, the risks, and the long-term opportunity.

| IONQ Stock Analysis: Don't Buy Until You See This | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:20:26 | |
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross delivers a deep IONQ stock analysis and explains why he believes IonQ could become one of the most important quantum computing companies in the market. Ross traces IonQ’s story from the early development of trapped-ion quantum computing to becoming the first publicly traded pure-play quantum computing company. He also explains why IONQ stock has experienced extreme volatility, falling from roughly $31 to near $3 before eventually recovering, and why he believes investors need to separate short-term stock price movements from the long-term potential of quantum computing technology. Ross breaks down how IonQ’s trapped-ion quantum computers differ from the superconducting systems being developed by companies such as IBM and Google, including IonQ’s focus on qubit fidelity, connectivity, error correction, and scalability. He also examines IonQ’s aggressive expansion strategy, including its acquisitions of Oxford Ionics, SkyWater Technology, ID Quantique, Capella Space, Vector Atomic, and other companies designed to build a vertically integrated quantum computing ecosystem. Ross discusses IonQ’s reported revenue growth, cash position, government and defense-related work, semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, DARPA contract, and the company’s roadmap toward significantly larger quantum processors. Finally, Ross gives his IONQ stock prediction and explains why his high-end price target is $100, while also addressing the substantial risks facing investors. IonQ continues to lose significant amounts of money, dilution remains a concern, valuations are aggressive, and the stock has already demonstrated that it can move 40% or more in a short period of time. Ross also discusses Q-Day, quantum encryption, cybersecurity, quantum computing stocks, position sizing, long-term investing, and why he believes the greatest opportunity may exist during the period when a transformative technology is real but the market still questions whether it will succeed. This episode is essential viewing for investors researching IONQ stock, quantum computing stocks, IONQ stock predictions, quantum computing investing, and the future of computing.

| The Most Underestimated AI Stock Isn’t Nvidia — It’s Amazon | 31 Aug 2026 | 00:26:20 | |
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why he believes Amazon stock (AMZN) may be one of the most underestimated artificial intelligence stocks in the market. While investors continue focusing on Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, and other major AI stocks, Ross argues that Amazon is quietly building an AI ecosystem across Amazon Web Services (AWS), cloud computing, artificial intelligence infrastructure, proprietary AI chips, advertising, logistics, and autonomous transportation. He explains why looking at Amazon as simply an e-commerce company could cause investors to miss the much larger investment story developing beneath the surface. Ross takes a deeper look at AWS growth, Amazon’s AI infrastructure spending, Anthropic and Claude, Amazon Bedrock, Trainium and Graviton chips, and the enormous demand for cloud computing created by the AI boom. He explains how Amazon’s investment in Anthropic could potentially create value across several layers at once—from its ownership interest in the AI company to Anthropic purchasing AWS computing capacity and using Amazon’s custom chips. Ross also examines Amazon’s growing advertising business, operating income, capital expenditures, free cash flow, and the key financial metrics investors should watch when evaluating AMZN stock beyond headline earnings. Finally, Ross explains why he remains bullish on Amazon while also addressing the risks facing the company, including massive AI capital expenditures, competition from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, changing Anthropic valuations, economic weakness, and the possibility of slower AWS growth. He discusses potential Amazon stock price targets, the importance of distinguishing a temporary stock pullback from deterioration in the underlying business, and why Amazon could become a major “picks and shovels” winner of the AI revolution. For investors searching for Amazon stock analysis, AMZN stock predictions, AI stocks to watch, AWS growth, Anthropic stock exposure, or long-term technology investing, this episode offers Ross Mandell’s full investment thesis on one of Wall Street’s biggest companies.

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down the massive question surrounding Anthropic’s potential $2 trillion IPO: is this the next great AI company going public, or is the AI bubble about to burst?

Ross compares Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, AI stocks, and the broader stock market, explaining why retail investors need to understand the difference between private market hype and public market reality. He also breaks down the risks underneath the headline, including pricing pressure from OpenAI and Chinese open-weight AI models, legal issues involving the Department of Defense, government policy risk, lockup expirations, and why first-day IPO buyers can become exit liquidity for early investors. This episode is a warning for anyone watching the AI bubble, Anthropic IPO, OpenAI IPO, AI stocks, tech valuations, Wall Street IPOs, and the future of artificial intelligence investing. Ross explains why the technology may be real, the growth may be historic, and the opportunity may be enormous — but the valuation still has to make sense.

| Stock Market Crash Warning: What History Says Happens Next | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:16:25 | |
Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the biggest questions facing investors right now: is the stock market headed for a correction, a bear market, or a full market crash? Ross explains why every major crash in market history starts the same way — not with fear, but with confidence. From the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, to the 1973–74 bear market, Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID market crash of 2020, Ross walks through the patterns investors keep repeating. This episode explains the difference between a pullback, a correction, a bear market, and a crash, and why understanding those differences can help investors avoid emotional decisions when volatility hits. Ross also connects market history to today’s economy, including AI stocks, stretched valuations, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, inflation, narrow market leadership, and the possibility that today’s AI boom could become either a new era of productivity or another speculative bubble. The key lesson: markets do not reward prediction — they reward preparation. Ross explains why investors should not try to call the exact top, but instead understand what they own, why they own it, and how they will react when the next market correction comes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand stock market crashes, market cycles, AI investing, Federal Reserve policy, investor psychology, market corrections, bear markets, and how to stay disciplined during volatility.

But this conversation goes much deeper than internet rumors.
Ross and Dr. Lightning dive into the problems inside the modern healthcare system, including insurance companies, rushed doctor visits, limited lab testing, Big Pharma, reactive medicine, preventative care, functional medicine, hormones, vitamin D, testosterone, cancer risk, patient advocacy, and why many people are told they are “normal” even when they still feel sick, tired, anxious, depressed, or unmotivated.
Dr. Lightning explains why she became a healthcare disruptor, why she moved away from the traditional insurance-based medical model, and how functional medicine looks for signs of dysfunction before disease fully develops. She also shares her personal story, including growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, being raised by the father who later legally adopted her, experiencing prejudice from different sides, moving to Los Angeles, building a business, becoming a mother, and ultimately opening her own practice in Las Vegas.

| Short Selling: The Strategy That Terrifies Stock Market Insiders | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:19:05 | |

In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the most misunderstood and controversial strategies on Wall Street: short selling.
Short selling creates emotion every time the stock market drops. People accuse short sellers of attacking companies, driving stocks lower, or manipulating the market. But Ross explains why most people criticizing short selling do not actually understand how it works.
Ross explains the basics of how short selling works, why investors borrow shares, sell them into the market, and try to buy them back at a lower price. He also breaks down why short selling can be one of the most dangerous strategies in finance, because unlike buying a stock, where your maximum loss is limited, a short position can create theoretically unlimited losses.
This episode also explores why Wall Street allows short selling, how it creates market liquidity, why it helps with price discovery, and why responsible short sellers can sometimes expose overvalued companies, financial fraud, weak balance sheets, and unrealistic market hype before the rest of the market catches up.
Ross discusses major Wall Street examples, including Michael Burry and The Big Short, the psychology of being early on a bearish thesis, the risks of betting against popular stocks, and why even brilliant investors can lose money when timing goes against them.
The episode also explains short squeezes, including how forced buying, margin calls, and crowded short positions can send stocks soaring. Ross breaks down the market mechanics behind famous short squeeze examples like GameStop in 2021 and Volkswagen in 2008, showing why prices sometimes move because of market structure instead of company fundamentals.
If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode will help you understand both sides of the market: bulls and bears, buying and shorting, optimism and skepticism, risk and reward. Even if you never short a stock, understanding short selling can completely change the way you see the stock market.
This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice.

Before you buy another stock, you need to understand the two markets Wall Street watches before stocks move: the bond market and the oil market.
In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why professional investors pay close attention to Treasury yields, crude oil, interest rates, inflation, the U.S. dollar, and commodities before they make decisions in the stock market.
Most retail investors wake up asking, “What is the stock market doing today?” Ross explains why that may be the wrong question. The better question is: what are bonds and oil telling us before stocks begin to move?
Ross explains how the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield impacts mortgage rates, auto loans, commercial real estate financing, corporate borrowing, business growth, and how Wall Street values companies like Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, and Amazon. He also breaks down why rising interest rates can hurt high-growth stocks and why future earnings become less valuable when the cost of money goes up.
This episode also dives into the power of the 30-year Treasury bond, why Ross views it as Wall Street’s long-term opinion on America’s future, and what higher yields may signal about inflation, debt, uncertainty, and the economy.
Ross then shifts to oil prices, explaining why crude oil is much more than just the price of gas. Oil affects trucking, shipping, airlines, manufacturing, packaging, agriculture, construction, food distribution, and nearly every business on earth. From the 1973 Arab oil embargo to the Iranian Revolution, the Gulf War, and the Russia-Ukraine war, Ross explains how oil shocks have historically impacted inflation, interest rates, investor confidence, and the stock market.
If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode explains why you should stop only watching stock charts and start studying the forces that move stocks: bonds, oil, inflation, interest rates, earnings, investor psychology, and the Federal Reserve.
Ross Mandell gives investors a clear lesson: stocks are the movie, but bonds write the script.
This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice.

In this solo episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down how professional investors think when the stock market crashes, why bull markets make everyone feel smart, and why bear markets expose weak risk management.
Ross explains the difference between amateur investors and professionals during periods of market volatility, panic selling, stock market corrections, bear markets, and financial uncertainty. When markets are going up, everyone feels like a genius. But when the market turns, the investors who survive are the ones who understand risk management, position sizing, cash reserves, discipline, and emotional control.
This episode dives into the psychology of investing, including why people chase stocks at the top, panic at the bottom, ignore risk when times are good, and overestimate their ability during bull markets. Ross shares his Wall Street perspective on how professionals prepare before volatility hits, how they think through downside risk, and why protecting capital matters just as much as making money.
Ross also explains why the market does not care about emotions, opinions, or hope. In a bear market, bad habits get exposed, leverage becomes dangerous, and the investors who were gambling instead of managing risk often learn painful lessons too late.
If you are interested in stock market investing, bear markets, bull markets, market crashes, Wall Street risk management, investor psychology, trading discipline, portfolio strategy, and how professional investors survive volatility, this episode gives you Ross Mandell’s direct breakdown of what separates real investors from people who only look smart when the market is going up.
Topics Covered:
How professional investors think during a stock market crash
Why bull markets make everyone feel smart
How bear markets expose weak investors
The importance of risk management and discipline
Why emotional investing destroys portfolios
How market volatility reveals bad habits
Why cash, patience, and position sizing matter

How Wall Street professionals prepare for downside risk
Why protecting capital is part of building wealth

| He Built His Agency From Scratch And Sold It For 8 Figures | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:46:36 | |
In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Jason Swenk, entrepreneur, agency advisor, podcast host, and founder who built and sold an 8-figure digital marketing agency.
Jason Swenk shares how he went from building websites and running a small agency to scaling a major marketing business, working with large clients, selling his agency, and later helping other agency owners grow, systemize, and exit their businesses.
Ross and Jason break down the real challenges of building a successful agency, including client acquisition, sales, pricing, hiring, operations, delegation, recurring revenue, scaling systems, leadership, and knowing when to sell. Jason explains why most agency owners stay stuck, why founders become the bottleneck in their own business, and what separates a small agency from a company that can actually scale.
This episode also dives into the mindset behind entrepreneurship, risk, failure, reinvention, and building a business that does not depend entirely on the founder.

| The American Dream Was Built To Make Banks Rich | 02 Jul 2026 | 01:02:08 | |
In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with John McGuire for a powerful conversation about mortgages, home ownership, real estate, debt, banks, financial education, and the truth behind the American Dream.
For generations, Americans have been told that buying a home is the safest path to building wealth. But is your home really an asset — or is it a liability designed to keep you paying banks for decades? Ross and John break down why the traditional mortgage system may benefit banks more than homeowners, why paying off your mortgage may not always be the smartest financial move, and how people should think differently about equity, debt, interest, and wealth building.
This episode challenges one of the biggest beliefs in personal finance: that owning a home automatically means you are building wealth. Ross and John explain how mortgages work, how banks make money through interest, why homeowners often misunderstand equity, and why liquidity, leverage, cash flow, and opportunity cost matter more than most people realize.
They also discuss the difference between good debt and bad debt, why financial literacy is missing in America, how the banking system profits from traditional thinking, and why many people spend their entire lives chasing a version of the American Dream that may not actually make them financially free.
If you are interested in real estate investing, mortgages, home ownership, personal finance, financial literacy, wealth building, banks, interest rates, debt strategy, home equity, paying off your mortgage, cash flow, and how to build long-term wealth, this episode gives you a direct and thought-provoking breakdown of what most people were never taught about money.
Topics Covered:
Why your home may not be the asset you think it is
The truth about mortgages and home ownership
How banks make money from long-term debt
Why paying off your mortgage could be a financial mistake
The difference between equity, liquidity, and cash flow
How interest rates affect real estate and wealth building
Why the American Dream may benefit banks more than families
Good debt vs. bad debt
Why financial literacy matters more than ever
How to think differently about real estate, leverage, and opportunity cost
Why traditional money advice can keep people stuck
Building wealth outside of the standard mortgage mindset

In this solo episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down the brutal truth about IPO roadshows, Wall Street, investment banking, hedge funds, public offerings, and what really happens before a company goes public.
Before a stock ever starts trading on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange, there is an intense behind-the-scenes process where CEOs, founders, bankers, analysts, institutional investors, and hedge funds all fight for position. Ross explains how the IPO process works, why the roadshow matters, how Wall Street sells a deal, and what most retail investors never get to see.
Ross takes viewers inside the pressure of the IPO roadshow, where companies must pitch their story to major investors, answer tough questions, defend their valuation, and convince institutions to buy shares before the stock hits the public market. He explains how bankers create demand, how pricing decisions are made, why momentum matters, and why the best IPOs are often decided long before everyday investors can buy in.
This episode also explores the psychology of Wall Street: fear, greed, ego, access, power, and the relationship between investment banks and institutional money. Ross shares his perspective from decades in the market on how deals are positioned, how hype is built, and why understanding the roadshow can help investors better understand IPO stocks, market cycles, and capital formation.
If you are interested in IPOs, IPO roadshows, Wall Street, investment banking, hedge funds, stock market investing, private companies going public, Nasdaq listings, public offerings, IPO pricing, capital markets, and how money is raised on Wall Street, this episode gives you a direct breakdown from someone who lived inside that world.

How companies prepare to go public
What really happens before an IPO starts trading

| The Cost of Being a Kingpin | DEA, Federal Prison & Life After Incarceration | 25 Jun 2026 | 01:20:43 | |
In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Ryan Root, entrepreneur, hormone health educator, former federal inmate, and founder in the TRT / HRT / hormone replacement therapy space, for a raw conversation about testosterone, steroids, bodybuilding, federal prison, entrepreneurship, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, Ozempic, and rebuilding life after indictment.
Ryan opens up about growing up undersized, struggling with low testosterone symptoms, discovering weight training, and eventually entering the underground world of performance-enhancing drugs, anabolic steroids, testosterone, bodybuilding forums, and hormone education. What started as a passion for helping people understand testosterone and hormones eventually turned into a major online operation — and then a federal case.
Ross and Ryan break down what it feels like to be indicted by the federal government, why Ryan chose to plead guilty, how conspiracy cases work, what federal prison was really like, and how he rebuilt his life after serving time. Ryan also explains how he turned his past knowledge into a legal business through H4M, one of the larger hormone replacement and TRT clinics in the country.
This conversation goes deep into the controversy around testosterone replacement therapy, the misinformation surrounding steroids, the difference between underground steroid use and medically supervised hormone therapy, and why Ryan believes testosterone has been misunderstood for decades. Ross and Ryan also discuss GLP-1 medications, Ozempic, weight loss, metabolic health, blood work, fitness, nutrition, and long-term health.
If you are interested in TRT, HRT, testosterone therapy, hormone optimization, bodybuilding, steroid laws, federal prison stories, entrepreneurship after prison, Ozempic, GLP-1 weight loss, men’s health, and the truth behind performance-enhancing drugs, this episode delivers a powerful conversation about risk, consequences, redemption, and building a legitimate business after losing everything.
This episode is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice. Always speak with a qualified medical professional before making decisions about hormones, medications, TRT, HRT, GLP-1 drugs, or any health treatment.

In this solo episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down why AI data centers may be the real gold rush behind artificial intelligence and why the biggest money may not only be in ChatGPT, apps, or software — but in the infrastructure powering the entire AI revolution.
Ross explains how artificial intelligence is creating massive demand for data centers, Nvidia chips, semiconductors, electricity, land, cooling systems, nuclear energy, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure.

| The $1.75 Trillion Question: Is SpaceX's IPO a Trap? | 08 Jun 2026 | 00:15:50 | |
In this solo episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down what could become the biggest IPO in history: the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO.
Ross explains why SpaceX is not just a rocket company. With Starlink, satellite internet, government contracts, reusable rockets, defense applications, and global infrastructure, SpaceX has become one of the most important private companies in the world. As Wall Street prepares for a potential public offering, Ross breaks down what investors need to understand before the hype begins.
This episode goes beyond simply asking whether investors should buy SpaceX stock. Ross explains how professional investors think about massive IPOs, why institutional money flow matters, and why the smartest trade may not be buying SpaceX immediately — but watching where Wall Street moves money before and after the IPO.
Ross also discusses how a potential $1.75 trillion SpaceX valuation could impact the stock market, index funds, liquidity, capital rotation, volume, and investor psychology. He explains why major IPOs can force institutions to sell other positions, rebalance portfolios, and create opportunities across the market.
If you’re interested in SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk, Starlink, stock market investing, IPO investing, Wall Street strategy, institutional money flow, private companies going public, and how to invest around major market events, this episode gives you Ross Mandell’s direct breakdown of what to watch.
