  Mark Davis Scandal: Dr. Alexandria Reveals the Truth About the Rumors 10.08.2026 1h 18min

  In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Dr. Alexandria Lightning, a Las Vegas-based healthcare provider, functional medicine practitioner, entrepreneur, and the woman who recently went viral after the internet connected her to Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Dr. Alexandria Lightning opens up about the viral Mark Davis baby mama rumor, how one birthday photo turned into national gossip coverage, why outlets and social media ran with the story, and how she handled suddenly being labeled online. She explains what really happened, how the photo was taken, why the caption was misunderstood, and why she eventually decided to stop defending herself and use the publicity as a business owner. 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. This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about testing, medication, supplements, hormones, or treatment.

  Short Selling: The Strategy That Terrifies Stock Market Insiders 05.08.2026 19min

  Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator 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. Topics Covered: What short selling is and how it works Why short sellers borrow shares and sell them The difference between buying stocks and shorting stocks Why short selling has unlimited risk How Wall Street uses short selling Why short selling creates liquidity in the stock market How short sellers help with price discovery Why markets need both bulls and bears Michael Burry, The Big Short, and contrarian investing Why being early can feel exactly like being wrong How short squeezes happen GameStop, Volkswagen, and forced buying Margin calls, risk management, and market psychology Why short selling is controversial How understanding short selling makes you a smarter investor About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.
