In this episode, we dive deep into the surprisingly fascinating world of interest ! We explore its ancient roots, the different ways it's been embraced (or banned) by cultures throughout history, and how it shows up in everyday financial decisions. From George Bailey's life lessons in It's a Wonderful Life to Bollinger-fueled wild parties courtesy of the LIBOR index, we unpack how interest can either build communities or cause financial chaos.

Along the way, we also sip on an "interesting" red wine — Battle of Toro from Spicewood Vineyards — a bold Texas blend that perfectly matches the spirit of this episode: strong, complex, and full of history.

You can buy a bottle here and sip along with us:
