  • Episode 23 - Rules for Radicals

    Recently read Saul Alinsky's 1971 book Rules for Radicals.  There is a lot of overlap between what he wrote about 50 years ago regarding radical change and everything I am seeing today.  I hope you enjoy the show! -Brad

  • Episode 22 - Compounding and Long Term Thinking

    Talking about how compounding works in finances, life, business, and relationships. Why the concept of compounding intersects and lattices over nicely with the importance of prioritization.  I hope you enjoy.  

    Also, near the end of the episode, you can hear my son Bode in the background after he woke up from his nap.  First guest appearance for him!  -Brad

  • Episode 21 - Modern Portfolio Theory and Winning a Nobel

    I have been reading a lot of financial disaster books lately like Liars Poker, FIASCO, and When Genius Fails and it got me thinking about what in our current financial system could be responsible for a future crash when we look back from a historical view.  I talk about Modern Portfolio Theory about how you are likely exposed to it and why it might be a problem.  I hope you enjoy it.  Thanks for listening. -Brad
