268 Is Now the Time to Invest in Cryptocurrency? - Ayelen Osorio from Netcoins, and Elliot Johnson from Evolve ETFs
March 03, 2021 06:00 - 1 hourWell, this episode is a big first for me! Not only is this the first-ever double episode, in which I share not one, but two guest interviews. But this is also the first episode I’ve ever done on cryptocurrency.

February 17, 2021 06:00 - 39 minutesAlthough I’ve done 265 episodes of this show (well, more if you count any of my solo episodes), shockingly I’ve never done an episode on the history of money.

Luckily, I was able to get Frederick Kaufman on the show, who authored The Money Plot: A History of Currency’s Power to Enchant, Control, and ...

January 27, 2021 06:03 - 45 minutesI've had so many guests on the show over the years to talk about the wealth accumulation stage of investing, but I haven't had any, besides Mike Drak from episode 208 who wrote Victory Lap Retirement, to talk about what happens when you actually retire.

December 16, 2020 06:00 - 53 minutesYou know how I came up with the title for this episode?
