Talking Billions with Bogumil Baranowski

Nicki Woodard | How Not to Lose a Fortune, Lessons from the Great Depression Era Tales of Heirs and Heiresses


Listen Later

Nicki has an extensive experience in media, a degree in radio-television-film, and a passion for history. For four years, she worked on multiple History Channel documentaries and was a research consultant for USA's Mr. Robot.

In her history podcast As The Money Burns, Nicki reconstructs the Great Depression through the lives of

actual heirs and heiresses.

She brings back to life the tales of the rich living through the Great Depression. She sets the stage by

telling us about the summer before the 1929 crash. We learn about a number of young heirs and heiresses and the lives they live.

There was so much that changed at the time, the newspapers started to follow the stories of the wealthy, and they were losing their anonymity. Taxation was on the rise, so were fraud, Ponzi schemes, and more. We hear about bank runs and how no matter how rich ones are, it's not hard, and maybe extremely easy, to lose it all.  

The stories we hear are almost a hundred years old, they are as relevant today as they were then. 

Only this week, I took a call from someone who's been reading my articles. His family tale is set between two continents and resembles so many of the stories we'll hear today talking with Nicki.  

Someone once reminded me that it's not easy, but it's cheaper to learn from the mistakes of others.  

Let's go back to the Roaring 20s and the Great Depression Era with my guest - Nicki Woodard.
