The team features CEO interviews with companies that are revolutionizing and innovating new methods of manufacturing and producing goods and services. Bob and Rich find the answers to what the companies are really doing and exactly how they are getting it done.

Breaking news updates and the stories behind them are uncovered throughout the hour. The professionalism and comedic nature make it not only an hour of information, but also an hour of fun that uncovers the news in the markets you are looking for.

Microcap Multiverse

The microcap markets are opaque and unregulated. Pitfalls and villains await even the most experienced of investors.

Saul, along with analysts, CEO’s and sector exports shine light upon the markets, making them transparent and fun, accelerating their inevitable march towards an efficient and orderly marketplace.

As the microcap markets move to transparency, entrepreneurs will be better able to effectively raise money allowing society to benefit from their innovations and inventions. The Microcap Multiverse is where investors can see what is over the horizon, find the next castles in the sky, dreams that need financing, black holes of capital and shooting stars that they might need to be aware of.
