Show notes

The summer travel season is officially upon us, and for the first time in a long time, it feels like millions of Americans will be hitting the roads and taking to the skies to enjoy their long awaited vacations. I know I'm Europe bound and Mark will be as well in August.

That's why we're re-running an interview we did (pre-Covid) with Seth Kugel, currently the Tripped Up columnist at the New York Times, and formerly the Frugal Traveler columnist for The Times.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Loving Capitalism Part Two Jul 03, 2022

Show notes

Since the 4th of July holiday is upon us, we're going to re-run an interview we did with Ken Langone, the legendary financier, who helped take a bunch of companies public before co-founding Home Depot. He joined us a few years back to talk about his book, I Love Capitalism!: An American Story, but really it was just a fascinating conversation with a guy who grew up in a working-class family, put himself through school, and after some hard work and smart decisions and a few guardian angels, became one of the most successful businessmen in the country.
