Radical Personal Finance

Today's episode is a bit off topic from the mission of Radical Personal Finance. It's the kind of episode I've frequently deleted in the past, but that I have heard from my audience that some may enjoy.

In today's episode I spend some time digging into the strategic history of Russia/Ukraine position in order to understand where things are and where they may go.

Enjoy!

Today, I want to explain this little-known history and talk about whether it may repeat in the future.

In light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I've been considering how you and I (not being in Ukraine or Russia) could be affected in days to come.

Here's a rather sobering discussion from me covering some of the possibilities.

In light of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, we need to pay careful to the lessons we can learn from the pain that our fellow humans are experiencing.

Today's lesson: believe that bad things can happen. To you.

In today's podcast I'll explain the tools and techniques I used to accomplish this, in hopes of inspiring you and helping with your similar projects.
