Special Edition: Why Can't We Focus? Mar 25, 2023

Show notes

Research shows all the screens we use each day might be reshaping our brains and shortening our attention spans. Later, I'm speaking to an expert who has spent the last three decades studying how technology impacts our attention and what we may be able to do about it. Dr. Gloria Mark is a psychologist and the University of California's Chancellor Professor of Informatics. Her new book is called "Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity."

But first, we're talking about a medical reason some people struggle to stay on task. The number of people diagnosed with ADHD has gone up in recent years, causing a surge in demand for ADHD prescriptions and now a shortage of drugs like Adderall. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Sarah Cheyette regularly treats ADHD patients and has written three books about the condition, including "ADHD & Me." We'll get into why there's been an uptick in ADHD diagnoses and she shares her top advice for how we can all improve our focus.

Special Edition: Bank Failures & High Inflation Explained Mar 18, 2023

Show notes

Today, we're focusing on two major money events impacting the economy and possibly your own bank account: The seemingly sudden failure of some U.S. banks, and stubbornly high inflation.

We'll get into inflation in the second half of this episode with the expert best known as the Inflation Guy. Michael Ashton is the managing principal of Enduring Investments and the host of the "Inflation Guy" podcast. We'll discuss what triggers inflation, why prices don't typically come back down after they go up, and so much more.

But first, the story getting all the headlines over the past week: major bank failures on a scale not seen since the Great Recession. We wanted to take more time to explain how this all happened and what can be learned from it. We're speaking with Justin Baer, a senior special writer at the Wall Street Journal who has been covering the collapse.
