On today's podcast, we had James Boylan, a Big 4 accounting manager, on to talk about how to prioritize when it seems like there are too many things to do. He spoke about his time managing multiple clients, as well as his time as a volunteer firefighter and EMT. James has been a great friend and mentor to John in his early career and we look forward to the listeners getting a bit of wisdom from him today as well as some laughs. John talks about his experience at 2 ballparks and Erik gives us some pointers on how to manage through a single ticket doubleheader.

It is half-time friends. We are going over some of the best clips from the first half of 2021 where we had fun, learned something, and heard from some interesting people. Below are the clips and from what episode:

1. Professor Christoph Hinkelmann - 23 minutes -28 minutes - dollar-cost averaging and how to deal with the fad of the year

2. Vacation standards with Quinn - 23 minutes to 31 minutes - nothing is more important than my last vacation and the post meet up picture

3. Conversation with Greg - 8 minutes to 10 minutes - swim-up pool bar and the monster mash

4. Chloe Culler - Perfectionism - 38 minutes to 47 minutes - perfectionism as well as say it with your chest about pessimism

5. Professor Sajay Samuel - 30 to 40 minutes - Narrowing your perspective to be a professional. and the perils of teaching & training over zoom

Quadbunk leading us into the holiday weekend and week off for some. We had a good time catching up on weddings, being the "would you be interested in mixing in a water" guy and John's trip to Lancaster PA. Adam Silver is still a terrible commissioner and john confuses josh Hamilton with Josh Donaldson. We close with some loft goals for the podcast in the next few months

Zack, John, and Erik talk about a range of topics on today's podcast, we have some fun conversations about the NBA, Fathers day, and the change to a hybrid working environment. We dive a little deeper today into mentorship and what you need to do to get the best out of your people. We close with a bearish and bullish.

We had a great friend Sean McOwen on the podcast today. Sean is one of the smartest people we know and it's always good to get to pick their brain. Sean talks about online masters, building strength in the gym, and some random old stories from childhood. We have Sean rifle through the segments and hopefully, he will be back for an additional episode.

This episode was recorded in 2 parts, the first in person before B Smith, Eriks Brother, surprise 30th birthday party. We talk about the do's and dont's, who is the most important part, and how insignificant is John's presence at this event. 

The second part of the episode includes the aftermath, the thank you's for the invite, and a recap of how important John truly was. We try to talk John out of thinking the Giants have a legitimate shot at a title this year and conclude on our review of Arizona Hard Seltzers. We close with some bearish and bullish.

This summer is about to be one for the record books, but not for the reason everyone assumes. Most offices are going to reopen in September but the bars are already at full capacity. Erik and John talk about the prospects of working from home in a post covid world, as well as how much more effort is placed on drinking recovery in your later 20's. We have Monday Morning headlines where we anticipate what crazy fan thing will happen next. Then we have a segment filled with listener questions from ladies to a couple of clueless guys.

Chris Parneros is a good friend of Erik's who was nice enough to give us an entryway into his thoughts. We talked about weddings as we are hitting that age where we need to learn from our experienced friends and find the cocktail hour table before worrying about food. We talked about our sports memories and maybe realized that John did not have a future as a baseball and softball umpire. Chris disrespects the podcast with one of the most ridiculous bearish's in the history of the quadbunk podcast.

Professor Christoph Hinkelmann is a Smeal college of business Finance professor at Penn State with previous experience at the Federal Reserve and as a Portfolio Manager. He was kind enough to take time out of his summer to come to explain the market to us. Prof. Hinkelmann teaches a course giving a base understanding of many finance topics even though he knows much more. Today we spoke about Gamestop, the efficient market hypothesis, you can't beat the FED, and how wrong finance equations can be. Professor Hinkelmann surprises John with his old homework submission with the lamest 5-year plan out there.

We have our good friend Ryan Quinn joining us on the podcast today. Quinn is a great friend, enjoys good banter, and an all-around fun person to talk to. In today's podcast, we talked about the things that happen on every vacation. From the random friends, you make to the oddly specific inside joke. Through Bearish and bullish we talk about getting back into the handshake game, the Irish goodbye, and Quinn trying to act as John's therapist.
