Robots, AI, and Automation with Darrell West Jul 26, 2018

Show notes

The robots are coming, the robots are coming!! Okay, so maybe we’re not yet living in a world that looks like the movie Terminator, but it’s safe to say that changes are coming to the workforce as we know it. Robots, artificial intelligence, and driverless cars are no longer things of the distant future. They are with us today and will become increasingly common in coming years, along with virtual reality and digital personal assistants. That’s what we’re talking about today with Darrell West, a decades-long connection of mine who is vice president and director of Governance Studies and the founding director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution. In his latest book, The Future of Work: Robots, AI, and Automation, West explores the current state of the workplace, how technological innovation will disrupt it and why government policy needs to change to help workers adapt to it. If companies need fewer workers due to automation and robotics, what happens to those who once held those jobs and don't have the skills for new jobs? And since many benefits are delivered through employers, how are people outside the workforce for a lengthy period of time going to earn a living and get health care and social benefits? Throughout the pages of this book, West argues that society needs to rethink the concept of jobs, reconfigure the social contract, move toward a system of lifetime learning, and develop a new kind of politics that can deal with economic dislocations. West presents a number of proposals to help people deal with the transition from an industrial to a digital economy: Broaden the concept of employment to include volunteering and parenting and pay greater attention to the opportunities for leisure timeWorkers will need help throughout their lifetimes to acquire new skills and develop new job capabilitiesPolitical reforms will be necessary to reduce polarization and restore civility so there can be open and healthy debate about where responsibility lies for economic well-beingIt’s a fascinating read about what faces us in the days ahead...a discussion that should take place sooner rather than later. “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.

MarketSnacks with Nick Martell and Jack Kramer Jul 19, 2018

Show notes

The financial world isn’t an easy one to navigate. It’s complicated and often full of unnecessary jargon. So the easier we can make it for everybody to digest, the BETTER OFF (pun intended!) we’ll all be. That’s why when I find like-minded people who want to demystify money-related topics, I immediately ask them to be guests on the show. Nick Martell and Jack Kramer spent their early days working in finance but quickly realized something was missing. It wasn’t they wanted to do. So they started side hustling, while still working at two different Wall Street banks. Over a couple beers one day after work, they figured it out. They wanted to create something that provided easy to understand finance content, the kind they wished they had while preparing for finance interviews in college. One thing led to another and eventually the guys came up with MarketSnacks, the digestible daily newsletter that simplifies Wall Street by filtering out the noise and explaining what's important in one bite-sized snack – clear, condensed, and entertaining. On the heels of their successful newsletter, Nick and Jack recently launched the MarketSnacks Daily podcast, a daily show that focuses on the digestible business stories you'll actually care about. Yet another example of how the side hustle can pay off. Figure out what it is you want to do and find a way to make it happen! “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.

Annuities and Three Questions You Should Ask Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

We may need to create a subcategory called “Personal Finance 101” for those episodes we have that deal with the financial services industry in general. Today, my old pal Gary Schatsky is in the house to talk about the industry, the state of fiduciary and one of the most oversold/misunderstood products, annuities. Gary is a practicing financial advisor who was way ahead of his time by championing comprehensive fee-only services for individuals, which at the time was almost unheard of. As the founder of ObjectiveAdvice.com, Gary and his team share a simple, three-pronged professional philosophy approach:TRUST - Whether you're saving for college or retirement, Gary and his team believe in confidence and peace of mind, and that trust is the bedrock of all client relationships.COMPETENCE - Being able to utilize years of technical expertise, investment experience, and ongoing training to offer realistic financial solutions for all areas, such as investment, tax, estate, retirement and insurance planning.OBJECTIVITY - In order to avoid conflicts of interest in product sales, Gary and his team refuse any commissions or other compensation from client transactions based on their recommendations.Trust, competence, objectivity...that’s basically what this conversation was all about as we jumped into various topics including annuities and everything you need to know before purchasing one, FINRA, and the always popular topic of what it means to uphold the fiduciary standard. “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.

#PaidOff with Michael Torpey Jul 05, 2018

Show notes

The student loan picture in this country is not a pretty one. According to the Federal Reserve, over half of young adults who went to college took on some debt. It's so bad that outstanding student loans have topped $1.4 trillion! To address the problem, we’re going to have a bit of fun as we try and find some sorta way to ease the burden on those students. That’s why today we’re chatting with actor Michael Torpey, best known for his work on Orange is the New Black, Red Oaks and Sneaky Pete. The student loan crisis has become so massive, that Torpey is trying to solve it in a unique way – a comedy game show. Paid Off with Michael Torpey gives three lucky college grads – all saddled with student debt – the chance to test the depth of their degrees with fun, fast-paced trivia questions. In the end, one lucky winner wins the chance to have their student debt paid off. I love it! Such a brilliant way to help some lucky students start life in the real world without a several thousand dollar gorilla on their shoulders. And what was perhaps most interesting was to hear the backstory that led to Michael creating the show. And no, he didn’t have any student loans of his own... “Better Off” is sponsored by Betterment.
