Rich Habits Podcast · AI Safety Fears, Fed Rate Hikes, & Airbnb's $250M Housing Fund · 18 Sep 2026 podcast

And the bigger takeaway from me, Austin, is the same rising rates that just cut Lenar's profits in half are also the reason affordable housing deals are falling apart in cities all across America. podcast-host

And it took the company most often blame for the housing crisis to point out that the real culprit driving podcast-host

Today's gap isn't Airbnb listings, it's the cost of capital itself. podcast-host

Yeah, but the big takeaway too, and I love that point, is the fact that a lot of people never really consider, unless they're really trained professionals, the carry cost of capital when you have these delays because of the municipalities. podcast-host

So you think about it, you raise two million dollars, five million dollars for a project, then you have a year's worth of delays between permitting and zoning and getting up and running. podcast-host

And meanwhile, the clock is running on that RO. podcast-host

Of the capital that you borrowed from investors. podcast-host

And it just makes it really difficult to pencil for anything in real estate because of that. podcast-host

I love these radar points today because when you think of OpenAI, you know, I just feel they're pushing back the IPO because they've got to, you know, open the curtains to all their earnings and their books and everything to be able to achieve that IPO. podcast-host

And there might be some wrinkles behind the curtains we don't know about yet. podcast-host

But I also really like the fact that you mentioned the overblown SAS Pocalypse because let's face it. podcast-host

Face it. podcast-host

AI is here to stay. podcast-host

Everything is getting built out, but there are still millions and millions of people. podcast-host

All of these large companies are playing catch up to the people that are building in AI in real time every single day. podcast-host

So I think these are some really good call-outs for all of our listeners to pay attention to. podcast-host

But Austin, before I jump into my radar points, I want to focus and talk about something I'm excited to start using more of, and it's podcast-host

That ultra pouches instant focus in a pouch. podcast-host

Um I know you've been using these for the past year, and I'm finally jumping late, but better than never on the train. podcast-host

And these pouches, just so everyone understands, are nicotine and caffeine-free, which means they use clinically proven nootropics and adaptogens to deliver immediate focus and smooth energy that lasts a couple hours. podcast-host
