Kara Swisher joins Carl for a wide-ranging conversation about money and meaning - from her early experiences with money to observing the habits of influential billionaires up close. If you’re not already familiar with Kara, her reputation precedes her: she’s direct, honest, and unapologetic about asking tough questions, especially to the wealthiest of individuals in our society. Over the course of her career, Kara has interviewed many of the most influential figures in the tech industry: Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos, just to name a few. Kara and Carl discuss everything from the importance of personal values in spending, to her views on gender dynamics in financial negotiations, and the significance of taking risks in her career - something she thinks everybody should do a little more of.

Teenage investor Chris Truong joins Carl to discuss why investing your money should be boring. At just 16 years old, Chris started a long-term diversified investing club at his high school - a club for ‘boring investment’, as he puts it - and it has grown from a club of 2 people - just him and his teacher - to over 40 of his peers. Chris emphasizes the importance of investing for long-term financial stability and the misconception that picking individual stocks can lead to quick wealth. He also highlights the influence of social media, particularly TikTok, in promoting risky investment behaviors among young people. The conversation emphasizes the importance of educating young investors about sustainable investment practices and the dangers of gambling-like behavior. When you invest like an adult or, in this case, like a 16-year-old, it's boring, but ultimately rewarding.
