| America Needs an NBA-Like Salary Cap | Two Cents Podcast ft. Timm Chiusano | 05 Mar 2026 | 00:29:33 | |
In this episode of Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Timm Chiusano (aka the “Mr. Rogers of Corporate America”) to talk money, careers, and the uncomfortable truth about how secretive pay can be. Timm breaks down the least he’s ever made, the most he’s ever made, and what “LTI” actually means when stock and bonuses enter the chat. We also get into the creator economy, why multiple income streams can be the smartest move, and his spicy take: Corporate America needs an NBA-style salary cap to help close the gap between the C-suite and entry-level workers. Plus, Timm opens up about not having a college degree, why “skills over pedigree” matters, and the advice he’d give to anyone feeling pressured to have it all figured out at 18. He wraps with one career skill he thinks beats everything else! Whether you’re trying to understand your pay, build a career you actually like, or just want a fresh perspective on how people really make money, this one’s for you. And if you liked this episode, we’d appreciate it if you gave us a follow and a review.

First up, we unpack episode 1 of the newest Black Mirror season and the plot hole that left us scratching our heads and wondering, would we go into debt to avoid the inevitable?

Thanks, H & J 💚 Thanks to our newest sponsor, Public! Learn more at Public.com/STS *A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. High Yield bonds carry greater risk of default.
