Why the Pentagon Is Tapping Wall Street’s Elite

I couldn’t stop thinking about this: the Pentagon is hiring investment bankers to deploy over $200 billion… and once you understand why, you start to see how the world really works.In this solo episode of Common Denominator, I break down what’s actually happening behind that headline and why it has everything to do with your life, your money, and your future. This isn’t just about defense or geopolitics. It’s about capital allocation at the highest level and the mindset that separates reactive decision-making from disciplined, long-term thinking.From losing my job in 2009 to building and managing thousands of real estate units, I’ve learned that wealth isn’t about being the smartest person in the room, it’s about being the most consistent allocator of capital.And here’s the truth: you’re already doing it every day.Your time, your energy, your money, it’s all capital.The question is: are you deploying it intentionally?In this episode, I cover:- Why the Pentagon is turning to investment bankers- What capital allocation really means (beyond money)- The difference between emotional vs. disciplined decision-making- How to think in decades, not days- Why consistency—not intelligence—builds lasting wealth- How values, faith, and responsibility shape long-term successLike this episode?
