    The Biggest Healthcare Myths, with an Insurance VP Turned Whistleblower

    The recent coverage around the healthcare industry from major media outlets has left me...wanting. So given this news cycle, I wanted to talk about some of the most relevant misconceptions around healthcare (and what they teach us). I'm joined by Wendell Potter, an ex-Cigna VP-turned-whistleblower and healthcare reform advocate, and he shares some eye-opening insights from his time in the space.

    Ramit Sethi on How to Make Your Relationship Finances Feel Amazing

    In 2019, I read Ramit Sethi’s bestseller I Will Teach You to Be Rich for the first time—and it was nothing short of revelatory for me.

    Since then, Ramit’s work has focused more directly on a specific aspect of money management: couples. I’ve always found navigating this topic to be a challenge, because the most common problems are relational questions, not financial ones. Ahead of his new book release, Money for Couples (out 12/31), Ramit joins me today to discuss how you can make your relationship with money feel amazing, particularly if you’re partnered.

    The Real Story of the US Economy: How the Last 40 Years Gave Us the Next Four

    How have the last 40 years of American history—starting from the Reagan era—delivered us to where we are today? Today, we'll explore Reaganomics and its continued implications on the economy, what Bidenomics really was (versus what it attempted to be), and what we’re likely to see over the next four years under a second Trump presidency. I also wanted to dig into some of the questions I’ve received since the election about whether our individual strategies need to shift.

    The Critical Insurance Most People Don’t Realize They’re Missing

    At her career’s height, Lacy was earning more than a million dollars per year (!) as an executive at a major bank. Then, one early morning, Lacy woke up and realized she was unable to hear anything in her left ear, experiencing something called sudden sensorineural hearing loss. She feared the worst: Her career, as she knew it, was over.

    Fortunately, Lacy had purchased a valuable insurance policy a decade earlier. And you don’t have to be pulling down seven figures like Lacy to benefit in the same way.

    When Earning More Makes Your Financial Anxiety…Worse?

    In our "money dysmorphia" episode, a theme emerged that I wanted to revisit: Money anxiety increasing with income, not decreasing. While most of us are probably familiar with the law of diminishing marginal returns and accept that after a certain point, money won’t make us any happier, the idea that money could make us actively unhappier is pretty antithetical to the entire capitalist enterprise.

    So to get the inside track, we invited Clay Cockrell, a therapist for the ultra high-net worth, to talk through some theories about why someone might experience enhanced anxiety as they ascend the income ladder—and what it might mean you need to do next.
