Wall Street Unplugged

Don’t sign another contract before you listen to this. Frank Curzio and the investor’s angle — a live walk through the retail brokerage customer agreement almost everyone has signed and almost no one has read: pre-dispute arbitration, the language stating in writing that the person helping you is not your fiduciary, hypothecation and share lending, the margin call that was never a deadline, and the amendment right that changes the terms without your signature. The whole defense is six words in the find function — arbitration, hypothecate, lend, in lieu, amend, transfer fee. Also the seven thousand people who signed away their immortal souls to a video game store.

The Stacking Benjamins Show

The Four Psychological Tricks That Get You to Sign Anything. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG on why “it’s standard” is the most expensive sentence in the English language — the social pressure, the decision fatigue and the manufactured confusion engineered into the moment you sign, plus the twenty-minute method for reading anything before you do.

Read Any Contract in 20 Minutes is the six-pass system he uses on anything before he signs it, with pull-out checklists for the two contracts almost everyone signs — the car loan and the apartment lease. No law degree required, no charge, and yours to print, photocopy and hand to anyone who is about to sign something.

Where your subscription actually goes

Every dollar of every paid subscription to The Clause funds our free community workshops — for the people signing the lease, the loan and the first job offer who need this advice the most and can least afford to pay for it.

Nobody passes a hat. The institutions that can pay, do — and that revenue puts a thirty-year contract attorney in a room with people holding the real paperwork. If you subscribe, you are not buying a newsletter. You are buying somebody else a seat.

Booking Leo

Leo Mann spent thirty years drafting the provisions he now spends his time warning people about — leases, auto loans, employment agreements, gym memberships, NIL deals. He is the author of Don’t Sign That, a #1 Amazon best seller and Top 10 in Personal Finance, and the founder of The Contract Literacy Movement. He does not do the deposition voice. He tells the story of the man who read the rent and the term, stopped a page and a half early, and paid two hundred and forty thousand dollars for it.

He travels, he records remotely, and he will happily bring a real contract to take apart on air. For a segment outline, a headshot, or a date, write to leo@leomannpublishing.com.
