Check out Sublime at https://sublime.app/?ref=perell David Grann: one of the best storytellers alive today and an absolute master at narrative nonfiction. You might know him from "Killers of the Flower Moon", which Martin Scorsese turned into a film. And then there's "The Wager"; I can't think of a single book that more people I know have said that they just read the entire thing, from start to finish, in one sitting. So what is it that he does to find stories, to research them, to turn them into writing that just makes people flip from page to page? Lush, vivid prose, great descriptions. How does he do it? That's what this conversation's all about. About the host Hey! I'm David Perell and I'm a writer, teacher, and podcaster.

In this episode of Money & Meaning, Jeff Bernier connects 17th-century philosophy with modern financial planning. Using Blaise Pascal's wager as a framework, Jeff examines how retirement planning isn't about certainty—but resilience. He discusses scenario analysis, the role of Plan B, and why the best financial plans aren't fixed, but adaptable. This episode is a timely reminder that thoughtful preparation—not prediction—brings peace of mind in uncertain times.    Topics covered:  Applying Pascal's Wager to financial planning The role of low-probability, high-impact risks in retirement planning Emphasizing resilience over prediction Scenario analysis and its purpose in building flexible plans The importance of maintaining a Plan B Avoiding the mistake of confusing spreadsheets with reality Why assumptions in planning must remain dynamic The value of humility in planning for an unknowable future Embracing flexibility in lifestyle, spending, and investments “Strong opinions loosely held” as a financial philosophy Confidence through preparation rather than prediction   Useful Links:    Jeff Bernier on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jeffberniercfp_the-money-and-meaning-show-activity-7202103509700227072-h0Qn/  TandemGrowth Financial Advisors: https://www.tandemgrowth.com/

Fire update, College Mascots, and the Wager Wire "This Evening"

The Restless communications department insisted on this title—where we talk about evil, the Antichrist, Peter Thiel, and yes, you. Our culture is obsessed with evil, but often in the wrong ways. In this episode, we explore a modern twist on Pascal's Wager that urges people to turn to God because of the reality of evil. Then we react to Peter Thiel's recent comments about the Antichrist before turning to Scripture and Calvin to see what they actually say on the subject. (With a title like this, we should be able to avoid future prepared statements.) You can find peter Theil's interview with the New York Times here. Restless would love your support on patreon and thats where you will learn why Matt had to release a statement on Liquid death. Join our patreon for bonus episodes every single week!

It's PARLAY PANIC on the show as Hoff rides a 4-0 Week 7 hit to take a massive lead on the leaderboard! BT admits he's "overthinking" and "a wreck," rolling out three huge favorites: Pats -7.5, a monster Colts -14.5 over the Titans, and Cincy -6.5 over the Jets. Sal fires back with a two-team "chip away" parlay, hinging his season on the Broncos -3.5 and taking a stand with the Titans +14.5 against the suddenly "beloved" Colts. Hoff confidently returns to the well with another four-teamer, including his winning Cincy pick. The guys also lock in their straight-up predictions for the Jets and Giants games, all chasing the champ!

True Floridians, East Wing, and The Wager Wire "This Evening"

In this episode, we explore the life and mind of whom historian Tom Holland calls “17th century Europe's supreme polymath": Blaise Pascal. Our guide is Graham Tomlin, a former bishop in the Church of England. Drawing from his book, Blaise Pascal, the Man Who Made the Modern World, Graham brings us on a journey through Pascal's life, his conversion to Christianity, and his famous argument for belief in God known as “the Wager.”Together, we'll explore the ways in which Pascal himself can still be a guide for us today. "What else does [man's] craving and helplessness proclaim—but that there was once in man a true happiness of which all that remains is the empty print and trace. This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there, the help that he cannot find in those that are. Though none can help. Because this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object. In other words, by God himself."This conversation was recorded in August 2025. You can find the original video and transcript here.Thank you for joining us in exploring timeless wisdom together, to help you gain clarity and courage for your own life, and to help nurture a culture of renewed hope.
