Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried is back in the headlines, though not for any new exploits—unless you count lobbying from behind bars. According to Morning Brew, SBF, once celebrated as a Forbes 30 Under 30 “whiz kid” in 2021, is now memorialized in their Hall of Shame, serving a 25-year sentence for seven counts of fraud connected to his orchestration of FTX's multibillion-dollar collapse. The outlet notes he is actively petitioning President Trump for a pardon, a move analysts consider highly unlikely. Markets.com assigns just a 4 percent chance of that pardon ever arriving, making the effort seem more a desperate gambit for relevance than a credible bid for freedom.In terms of business activity, FTX itself is now a relic. As Galaxy Digital's newsletter observes, this week marks the third anniversary of the FTX implosion, a fever dream in crypto lore where Bankman-Fried resigned under a cloud of scandal and bankruptcy attorneys took over. By now, the estate under John J. Ray III has clawed back enough assets to pay 100 percent of official customer claims, with distributions starting to reach affected users—though at November 2022 prices, leaving some feeling shortchanged as crypto valuations surged after the collapse.Bankman-Fried has tried to shape the public's understanding of his downfall. CoinMarketCap reports he's been using messages from prison to argue FTX was solvent and that bankruptcy lawyers are at fault for delays in asset recovery, claims roundly rejected by the official estate and largely dismissed by industry observers as self-serving. Meanwhile, TheStreet notes his verified account continues to make waves on social media, most recently by mocking blockchain sleuth ZachXBT with pointed, if implausible, allegations connecting him to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, signaling SBF remains undeterred in stirring drama behind the wire.In the wider media, Sam Bankman-Fried's story is now a recurring cautionary tale. Recent episodes from the Aspen Ideas Festival featured acclaimed author Michael Lewis, who shadowed Sam for months for his book "Going Infinite," dissecting how SBF's blend of ambition and naivety created a cult of fast money and misplaced trust. Researchers and commentators at Ivey Business School and elsewhere use Bankman-Fried's arc to explain the media's role in sculpting—then shredding—tech founders' reputations, with SBF serving as the patron saint of the boom-to-bust narrative.On social media, references to Sam remain persistent, as crypto influencers and legal analysts debate his case's parallels with a growing rogues' gallery of 2025 crypto fraudsters. Discussions continue around the supposed regulatory schemes he floated with the SEC, with Uniswap's founder alleging SBF's pitch to classify bitcoin and ether as securities was narrowly thwarted by FTX's collapse.In sum, Sam Bankman-Fried is not fading quietly into prison obscurity. He remains a fixture of headlines and podcasts, his name invoked by advocates and detractors alike as the symbol of crypto's wild excesses and the lasting need for tighter oversight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The crypto world has been buzzing about Sam Bankman-Fried in the wake of Donald Trump's surprise pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao on October 23. While CZ's white-collar convictions were for compliance failures, Sam Bankman-Fried's crimes—found guilty on seven felony counts related to his orchestration of one of the largest frauds in crypto history—are in another league entirely, involving the misappropriation of about eight billion dollars in customer funds through FTX and Alameda Research as well as massive political donations and a 25-year prison sentence, according to widespread reporting by sources like TheStreet and Bitcoinist.Following the CZ pardon, speculation exploded that SBF could be next. Within hours, betting platforms like Polymarket saw the odds of Bankman-Fried earning a presidential pardon leap from just 4% up to 16%. CoinDesk and Crypto News both report that these shifts were driven purely by market speculation, social media frenzy, and a few viral tweets—not any official statement from Trump's team or the White House. Some prominent crypto voices on X, like investigator Coffeezilla, have promised to “quit” if SBF is pardoned, while Polymarket fueled the meme with a post titled “Sam Bankman-Freed,” a post that SBF's own X account retweeted—though the account is still marked as “SBF's words, shared by a friend,” meaning it is run by someone in his circle rather than the man himself.The possibility of a pardon has also been embraced by SBF's family. As reported by Crypto Patel, his parents have been quietly lobbying for months, connecting with Republican insiders and pitching the notion that their son was unfairly targeted. In fact, SBF's mother recently published a detailed essay defending him, hoping to tip public opinion. Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried continues to maintain—in recent interviews from FCI-Terminal Island prison and a long-form piece with Mother Jones—that his real mistake was ceding control of FTX to a new CEO during bankruptcy, not fraud, and that he could have saved the firm if left in charge.Though the chatter is loud, credible legal experts quoted by sources like TheStreet and Variant Fund remain deeply skeptical that SBF could ever receive the same treatment as CZ, since his actions caused direct losses to millions and left an ugly scar on the crypto industry's reputation. As for breaking news, prediction markets have cooled off a bit, with Polymarket and Kalshi dropping odds to the 12% range as reality, for now, sets in. SBF's formal appeal is set for November 4, but legal watchers doubt it will yield any sudden change. For now, Sam Bankman-Fried remains crypto's ultimate cautionary tale, back in the headlines as a symbol of what happens when ambition, politics, and money collide.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried remains behind bars, serving a 25-year sentence after being convicted last fall on seven counts including fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering in one of the largest financial crimes in U.S. history, according to CBS News. The collapse of FTX, which prosecutors say resulted in more than $8 billion in customer losses, continues to define his legacy, with the exchange only now beginning to repay victims almost two years after its implosion. While Bankman-Fried's legal team has mounted an appeal, arguing that he was the victim of a public rush to judgment, there have been no major judicial developments in the past few days—the case is still in the post-conviction phase, with no indication of imminent breakthroughs.However, speculation about his future has absolutely dominated crypto circles and beyond, following President Donald Trump's surprise pardon this past week of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the Binance founder. This move sent shockwaves through prediction markets and social media, where chatter about a potential “SBF pardon” exploded overnight. Polymarket, the crypto prediction platform, saw odds for a Trump pardon of Bankman-Fried spike from under 6% to as high as 17% in under 12 hours, according to CoinCentral and TheStreet, with hundreds of thousands of dollars now riding on the bet. A separate Polymarket contract asking whether he will be released from custody this year briefly hit 19% before stabilizing around 15%. But here's the thing: this is pure speculation, fueled by wishful thinking, online memes, and a flurry of headlines—there's zero credible evidence that Trump is considering such a move, and legal analysts like Jake Chervinsky of Variant Fund, quoted by CoinCentral, are openly skeptical, noting Bankman-Fried's Democratic mega-donor past and the gravity of his convictions.Still, the buzz is loud enough that Bankman-Fried's mother and associates have reportedly been quietly seeking allies in Trump's orbit, and his social media presence—ostensibly operated by a friend—has playfully retweeted memes about the pardon odds, according to TheStreet, sparking further online chatter. Meanwhile, Caroline Ellison, his former colleague and ex-girlfriend, was just sentenced to 24 months in prison for her role in the FTX fraud, according to CBS News, a development that serves as another reminder of the scope of the scandal.In the broader culture, the paperback edition of Michael Lewis's “Going Infinite,” which chronicled Bankman-Fried's rise and fall, is about to hit shelves with a new afterword—likely stirring fresh debate about his true character and culpability. While Bankman-Fried himself remains in FCI-Terminal Island prison, the narrative around him is anything but static: a mix of serious legal consequences, feverish prediction market action, and the occasional ironic meme, all reflecting a cultural obsession with one of crypto's most infamous figures. No public appearances, no major business moves—just the ongoing saga of a fallen billionaire, a presidential pardon rumor mill, and a public still trying to make sense of it all.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Gregg Greenberg is well known as the ubiquitous host at Investment News and before that as a reporter for TheStreet.com where he interviewed executives from all parts of the financial world. What's less known about Gregg is his love of writing for the silver screen and the stage. On this episode of Press Profiles, we discuss the art of storytelling – for interviews, movies, plays, and books. Gregg also talks about his early pivot from finance at Lehman Brothers to journalism and what he loves about the job. We also discuss Jimmy Breslin, Jim Cramer, hot pastrami, the best PR pitches, and of course, a whole lot more.

Ever notice how weekdays feel different from one another? Mondays carry a heavy vibe, while Fridays seem lighter and more exciting. Science has a fascinating explanation for why certain days have a stronger “feel” than others, and we kick off this episode with the surprising psychology behind it. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3209175/ Gravity is more than just the force that keeps us grounded — it's quietly affecting your health every single day. From back pain to heart disease, gravity plays a role in nearly every chronic condition. But here's the good news: there are ways to counteract its toll. Here to explain is Dr. Brennan Spiegel, director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, professor at UCLA, co-host of The Gravity Doctors podcast (https://thegravitydoctors.com/), and author of How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health (https://amzn.to/3VAdxkd). He joins me to explain how understanding gravity's impact can help you live healthier and feel better. Most financial advisors say individual stocks are too risky — stick with mutual funds and ETFs. Jim Cramer disagrees. As host of CNBC's Mad Money, founder of TheStreet, former hedge fund manager, and bestselling author of How to Make Money in Any Market (https://amzn.to/4nLYNKW), Jim believes that finding valuable stocks is easier today than ever. In this lively conversation, he reveals why picking the right stocks can be a smarter path to wealth — and why conventional advice might be holding you back. And here's a question you've probably never thought too deeply about: when you lose weight, where does the fat actually go? It's not “burned off” as many people think. The truth is simple physics — and once you hear it, you'll never look at weight loss the same way again. https://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g7257?utm_source=chatgpt.com PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

EPISODE 95 DETAILS Beyond Meat Rumored To File Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Plant-Based Beyond Meat Rumored Bankruptcy, They Deny According to TheStreet.Com, Beyond Meat, the plant-based meat company has reported falling sales and dwindling cash. Beyond Meat recently hired a corporate restructuring expert and has let go of 44 employees in North America (6% of its global workforce). Sales in the second quarter dropped by nearly 20% year-over-year. Beyond Meat pushed back against rumors that it has filed bankruptcy, calling recent media reports "unequivocally false.” The statement comes amid a highly publicized and difficult financial period for Beyond Meat.  The company, which played a key role in establishing the market for hyper-realistic meat analogues when it launched in 2009, has seen sales stagnate as the market becomes more competitive and consumers move away from “ultra-processed” alternative proteins.

Brendan Ahern, chief investment officer at KraneShares and the author of the China Last Night blog, says that the government of China is "doing the things that Trump wants them to be doing" for domestic policy purposes, which is why he sees the signs of a U.S.-China trade deal in the works. He says in The Big Interview that neither side can win in a trade war, but that both sides can move forward sharply and strongly with agreement, even if tariff levels remain high and in place indefinitely. Ahern says that "the worst is behind us" on dollar weakness, noting that he doesn't expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates until later in the year, allowing the dollar to stabilize in the interim while tariff policies are being finalized.

Today, Andrew and Larry discuss Chapter 35: Mad Money.Chapter 35: Mad MoneyIn this chapter, Larry explains why investment advice from so-called market experts is often worthless.The infamous Jim CramerJim Cramer, a former hedge fund manager, has become one of the most recognizable faces in the investment world. He dispenses rapid-fire investment advice on the show “Mad Money.” Since it premiered in March 2005, it has been one of CNBC's most-watched shows. But has his advice been as successful for the investors who follow it? Larry shares a couple of research studies that answer this question.It pays more to invest in an S&P than in Cramer's fundCramer manages a portfolio that invests in many of the stock recommendations he makes on TV. Established in August 2001 with approximately $3 million, the Action Alerts PLUS (AAP) portfolio has been the centerpiece of Cramer's media company, TheStreet, which sells his financial advice, giving subscribers in the millions access to each trade the portfolio makes ahead of time. Jonathan Hartley and Matthew Olson, authors of the 2018 study “Jim Cramer's Mad Money Charitable Trust Performance and Factor Attribution,” examined the AAP portfolio's historical performance. Their study covered the period from August 1, 2001, the AAP portfolio's inception, through December 31, 2017. The study found that the fund returned a total of 97%. During that same period, an investment in the S&P would have returned 204%.No real stock-picking skill, just entertainmentIn another study, “How Mad Is Mad Money?”, Paul Bolster, Emery Trahan, and Anand Venkateswaran examined Cramer's buy and sell recommendations for the period from July 28, 2005, through December 31, 2008. They also constructed a portfolio of his recommendations and compared it to a market index. The researchers came to three key conclusions:Investors were paying attention, as the stocks he recommended had abnormal returns of almost 2% on the day following his recommendations.The returns...

This week on the show, I'm joined in person by investment veteran Michael Sheldon, who brings over 26 years of experience in the financial services industry. We dig into essential strategies for investing as you approach and enter retirement, covering asset allocation, diversification, income planning, and how to handle inevitable market volatility.  Whether you're a pre-retiree, a recent retiree, or just looking to strengthen your investment approach, Michael offers some great actionable insights designed to help you build a resilient portfolio and stay on track toward your long-term financial goals.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [04:52]  Portfolio risk should change as you age, becoming more conservative in retirement. [09:34] Why US large-cap stocks have outperformed recently. [14:13] Pros and cons of target date funds, including fees, asset allocation, and international exposure. [16:07] Michael warns against chasing high-yield dividend stocks. [18:51] Private equity/real estate and understanding the liquidity and risks. [31:15] Building income streams, reducing volatility, and portfolio standard deviation as you near retirement. [43:18] Why maintaining discipline through corrections is key to investment success. Strategies to Weather Market Ups and Downs Any successful investment journey begins with a clear financial plan. Michael emphasizes the importance of understanding your spending needs in retirement. This process often starts with creating a detailed budget. A thorough assessment of current and expected future expenses helps determine the appropriate rate of return necessary to achieve your retirement goals. Once you have a handle on your budget, you can set a target allocation that aligns your risk tolerance with your required investment returns. Your personal plan should factor in not only your goals and time horizon, but also your comfort level with market volatility. Balancing Risk and Opportunity As you move closer to retirement, adjusting your asset allocation becomes increasingly important. Younger investors can often afford to be more aggressive, allocating a larger portion (often 70% - 100%) to equities, since they have time to recover from market downturns. However, those approaching or in retirement generally benefit from more conservative portfolios, emphasizing capital preservation. A common rule of thumb discussed was to maintain 3 - 5 years of living expenses in cash or short-term bonds. This buffer allows retirees to weather market downturns without selling equities at a loss. Still, every investor is different. Some retirees, especially those with higher risk tolerance or substantial resources, may maintain large allocations to equities. The key is to structure your portfolio to ensure you can meet your expenses even during extended market declines. Don't Chase Home Runs The conversation stressed the dangers of seeking the next “big winner” stock. Instead, the focus should be on diversification, owning a broad mix of asset classes and geographies. While the past decade has seen U.S. large-cap growth stocks outperform other areas, this may not always be the case. International markets, small-cap stocks, and value stocks each tend to outperform at different points in the economic cycle. Proper diversification can help reduce risk and smooth out returns, preventing the common mistake of buying high and selling low. It's wise to avoid concentrating your portfolio too heavily in a single sector, country, or investment style. Beyond Chasing High Dividends One of the big myths in retirement investing is the need to load up on high-dividend-paying stocks for income. Michael cautioned against focusing solely on high yields, as these companies might carry more risk or have unsustainable business models. Instead, look for companies with a solid history of gradually increasing their dividends, which indicates healthy cash flows and business stability. Active vs. Passive Management and Cost Considerations The debate between active and passive management continues. For broad U.S. markets, low-cost index funds and ETFs have outperformed most active managers over time, thanks to lower costs and automatic portfolio updates.  Increasingly, investors are turning to ETFs for their tax efficiency, tradability, and lower fees compared to traditional mutual funds. As with any investment, understanding fees and their impact on long-term returns is vital. The Power of Discipline Finally, Michael shares a valuable perspective on market volatility. Historically, the S&P 500 has experienced average intra-year declines of over 14%, yet finished positive in 76% of years since 1980. Volatility is normal, and patient investors are rewarded for staying invested.

What do you do with RMDs you don't actually need? If you're retired and over age 73 — or 75 if you were born in 1960 or later — you know the IRS requires you to start taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your traditional IRAs and workplace retirement accounts. Even if you don't need that money for living expenses, you still have to take it - which means more taxable income, higher Medicare premiums, and a bigger chunk of your Social Security benefits becoming taxable in some cases. Today I share "6 Strategic Ways to Make the Most of Distributions You Don't Need", an article by Greg Hammons from TheStreet.com. Reinvest in a Taxable Brokerage Account - super straightforward.  Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) Use RMDs to Fund Life Insurance Cover the Taxes on a Roth Conversion Fund a 529 Plan for Education Give to Family—Tax-Free So what's the best move for you? That depends on your goals—whether it's growing your money, reducing taxes, helping your family, or supporting a cause. But the key message is this: RMDs don't have to be a tax burden. With some intentional planning, they can be an opportunity. Before making a move, talk to your financial planner or tax pro. These strategies can have long-term effects on your retirement plan, your taxes, and your legacy. I also tackle a listener question: "What is your recommendation to cover the gap in sustainable income from pre-retirement (e.g., 60) to Social Security claiming age (e.g., 70)?"

Tom Bodrovics once again engages in an interesting conversation with Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for QI Research, former Fed Insider, and author of the book "Fed Up." The conversation focuses on the ongoing recession that likely began in Q1 2024. Danielle highlights key data points, such as job losses starting in Q2 2024, which confirm the recession's onset. Despite this clarity, official channels are reluctant to acknowledge the recession due to political considerations. Danielle emphasizes the severe impact of student loan forbearance and credit constraints on US households, noting that rising defaults will further strain consumer spending. This situation is compounded by a lack of clear policies to replace past stimulus measures, leaving the economy vulnerable. Danielle shifts into the commercial real estate sector, with banks facing growing pressure to recognize losses. She critiques the Federal Reserve for ignoring critical data, such as shelter inflation and job losses, in favor of focusing on tariffs' impact on goods prices. This stance, she argues, is politically motivated and disregards the Fed's own historical lessons. Investors are advised to prioritize safety over riskier assets, given the high returns on cash and the uncertain economic outlook. Danielle concludes by urging empathy and support for communities navigating these challenging times, emphasizing the importance of looking out for one another during economic hardship.

Tom Bodrovics engages in a discussion with Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist for QI Research, former Fed Insider, and author of the book "Fed Up." Danielle stresses the importance of monitoring private sector actions, particularly in 2025 due to recent job losses and the significance of shelter inflation's impact on the Federal Reserve. She highlights an upward trend in unemployment rates and potential recession expectations, but does not believe one is necessary. The conversation touches upon central bankers' confidence bubble and its implications for the current economic climate. They also delve into commercial real estate markets and the potential repercussions on banks and markets. Serious concerns in this sector have led to double defaults on commercial mortgage-backed securities, with regulators putting pressure on credit rating agencies not to downgrade them. Tom also inquires about other financial burdens, such as rising unemployment, falling house prices, and mortgage delinquencies, which contribute to significant household financial pressures. Canadian banks have announced larger losses but maintain they are contained. Banks attempt to slow charge-offs by modifying loans and extending terms, but this approach has limitations due to the possibility of re-default. Danielle concludes the conversation by encouraging listeners to maturely face sacrifices and embrace long-term benefits that come with cutting government waste.

Tom welcomes back Danielle DiMartino Booth to the show to discuss de-dollarization and its implications for the US economy. Danielle argues that while concerns over countries moving away from the US dollar system have been ongoing for a long time, the US dollar remains dominant in global transactions due to its vast liquidity pool and lack of competition. She advises investors to diversify during financial crises instead of doubling down on dollars. The conversation touches upon the Federal Reserve's actions, with Danielle expressing concerns about potential policy errors regarding inflation and outdated data usage. Danielle discusses employment statistics, mentioning that hard data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) plays a significant role in revisions to non-farm payrolls and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). She expresses concern over the Fed's reliance on outdated data and potential late action. The conversation also covers concerns about risks for regional banks, rising bankruptcy rates, and imminent student loan delinquencies. She also discusses signs of a potential recession, including slowdown in credit card spending, increasing charge offs, and decreasing employment levels. Despite some optimistic predictions, she express skepticism due to the weak economic foundation and the Fed's role in combatting inflation with varying opinions on its likelihood.

A Note from James:I am thrilled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my podcast. Occasionally, I'll feature some timeless episodes as if they're brand new, sharing those that have greatly impacted me. One such figure is Nassim Taleb, whom I consider one of the smartest people on the planet.I've learned so much from Nassim, and I'm not sure he realizes or cares just how influential he's been on me. I was extremely grateful when he agreed to appear on my podcast. There's an interesting backstory to his appearance: he joined my show a few years ago, and we are airing that episode now, though he might not be aware of the whole story.Back in 2002, I was desperate—I was broke, struggling, losing my house, and my family was falling apart. I wrote to 20 influential individuals, including well-known investors and writers like Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn, expressing my desire to meet them. Only three responded.Jim Cramer was one of them. I had sent him ten ideas for articles he could write for TheStreet.com. To my surprise, he responded positively and encouraged me to write the articles myself, which kickstarted my career as a writer. From financial columns, I expanded into other topics.Victor Niederhoffer also replied because I sent him software programs tailored to his trading style, offering them for his and his traders' use and my assistance if needed, with no pressure to respond.Nassim Taleb was another who responded. I had reached out to him because I admired his book "Fooled by Randomness" and wished to meet him. Although he was willing to meet, I never followed up. However, many years later, he came on my podcast, bringing everything full circle, for which I am immensely grateful.Now, I am honored to reintroduce one of the smartest men in the universe, Nassim Taleb. Episode Description:In this episode, we explore Nassim Taleb's influential ideas, specifically his thoughts on antifragility, the unpredictability of life, and the beneficial role of trial and error in diverse areas such as technology, health, and business. As we mark ten years of learning, the host shares transformative conversations with Taleb, revealing how chaos and uncertainty can fortify systems, people, and industries. We examine Taleb's key principles: reducing interference, valuing variability, and the necessity of personal investment in outcomes. We also look at concrete examples. Further, we discuss how embracing errors and innovation can lead to breakthroughs in sectors like drug development and business ventures, and address the negative impacts of excessive rescue measures and regulatory constraints. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and theoretical exploration, this episode encapsulates the essence of antifragility as a pathway to resilience and fulfillment. Episode Summary:00:00 Celebrating a Decade of Podcasting: A Special Revisit00:35 The Power of Cold Emails: Life-Changing Connections02:04 Nassim Taleb: A Mind That Shaped My Worldview02:51 Exploring the Impact of Technology Through the Lens of Anti-Fragility04:18 The Evolution of Communication: From TV to Social Media04:47 The Paradox of Technological Progress: A Historical Perspective05:43 Disruptive Innovations and the Cycle of Technology08:41 Personal Anecdotes and the Philosophy of Email Communication09:24 The Intricacies of Responding to Emails and Setting Boundaries10:56 Journalism, Social Media, and the Quest for Authenticity15:27 Understanding Fragility vs. Anti-Fragility: A Deep Dive26:07 The Role of Variability and Stressors in Evolution and Health31:49 Applying Anti-Fragility to Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle49:43 The Importance of Political Variability and the Unpredictability of Life51:40 Exploring the Anti-Fragile Lifestyle52:00 The Power of Walking and Creative Thinking54:22 Embracing Natural Elements for Health55:06 Rethinking Medicine and Personal Health Strategies57:30 Navigating Social Relationships and Disruption01:00:31 The Essence of Anti-Fragility in Life and Work01:09:34 Understanding the Financial System and Its Fragilities01:12:33 The Role of Entrepreneurship and Risk in Society01:29:51 Reflecting on Writing, Publishing, and Intellectual Pursuits01:41:37 Closing Thoughts and Future Directions ------------What do YOU think of the show?

A bit of a format flip on this episode as Sam and Derek tag team an interview with Jared Dillian, author of the new book No Worries: How to Live a Stress-Free Financial Life. Jared has had quite an interesting background from working at Lehman Brothers during their 2008 collapse to building a successful financial newsletter and podcast.
