    The Biggest Healthcare Myths, with an Insurance VP Turned Whistleblower
    Dec 18 2024
    The recent coverage around the healthcare industry from major media outlets has left me...wanting. So given this news cycle, I wanted to talk about some of the most relevant misconceptions around healthcare (and what they teach us). I'm joined by Wendell Potter, an ex-Cigna VP-turned-whistleblower and healthcare reform advocate, and he shares some eye-opening insights from his time in the space.

  • Ramit Sethi on How to Make Your Relationship Finances Feel Amazing

    Ramit Sethi on How to Make Your Relationship Finances Feel Amazing
    Dec 11 2024
    In 2019, I read Ramit Sethi’s bestseller I Will Teach You to Be Rich for the first time—and it was nothing short of revelatory for me. Since then, Ramit’s work has focused more directly on a specific aspect of money management: couples. I’ve always found navigating this topic to be a challenge, because the most common problems are relational questions, not financial ones. Ahead of his new book release, Money for Couples (out 12/31), Ramit joins me today to discuss how you can make your relationship with money feel amazing, particularly if you’re partnered.

  • The Real Story of the US Economy: How the Last 40 Years Gave Us the Next Four

    The Real Story of the US Economy: How the Last 40 Years Gave Us the Next Four
    Dec 4 2024
    How have the last 40 years of American history—starting from the Reagan era—delivered us to where we are today? Today, we'll explore Reaganomics and its continued implications on the economy, what Bidenomics really was (versus what it attempted to be), and what we’re likely to see over the next four years under a second Trump presidency. I also wanted to dig into some of the questions I’ve received since the election about whether our individual strategies need to shift.
