How to Decide with Annie Duke Part Two Dec 06, 2020

Show notes

What do you do when you're faced with a big decision? If you're like most people, you probably make a pro and con list, spend a lot of time obsessing about decisions that didn't work out, get caught in analysis paralysis, endlessly seek other people's opinions to find just that little bit of extra information that might make you sure, and finally go with your gut.

What if there was a better way to make quality decisions so you can think clearly, feel more confident, second-guess yourself less, and ultimately be more decisive and be more productive?

That's the gist of the conversation this weekend as were joined by Annie Duke, author of How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices.

Behind on Retirement Savings Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

You're in your late 30s and admittedly way behind on retirement savings, yet for some reason you're hellbent on paying off the mortgage early. Clearly not a recipe for success.

Pay Down Mortgage or Invest? Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

Whether or not it makes sense to pay down the mortgage is a common topic on this show, but with mortgage rates so low, it's hard to make the case that paying down a mortgage is better than investing that excess cashflow.

Succession Star Brian Cox Part Two Nov 29, 2020

Show notes

What better time to binge watch a new show, or revisit a favorite, than Thanksgiving weekend?

Earlier this year (pre-pandemic) I had a chance to interview Scottish actor Brian Cox, star of Succession.

Cox, who plays patriarch Logan Roy on the HBO series, talks about how he’s come to understand his character, what the two men have in common and the one question about Logan he’s still struggling with.

Cox reveals which character he believes is the moral compass on the show and what it has been like working with guest stars Holly Hunter and Cherry Jones.

I'm telling you, if you haven't checked out the show, watch a couple episodes and I guarantee you'll be hooked.

The Gift of Humanity Part Two Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

Since this episode is dropping on Thanksgiving we thought we’d do something a bit different.

Instead of focusing on bettering ourselves financially, we wanted to introduce you to StoryCorps, a non-profit organization that strives to make the world better off by preserving and sharing stories, build connections and create a more just and compassionate world.

In short, it serves as a good reminder of the things that matter most.

And who better to help us stay in the giving thanks spirit than our guest Dave Isay, the founder and president of StoryCorps.

His goal is simple: to use stories to remind us of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters.

At the same time, StoryCorps is creating an invaluable archive for future generations as every interview is housed at the Library of Congress.

So as you’re sitting around this Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends, I encourage you to use StoryCorps Connect (virtually) or the StoryCorps app (in person) and take part in The Great Thanksgiving Listen, a national movement that empowers people of all ages to create an oral history of the contemporary United States by recording an interview.
