How the U.S. Childcare System Hurts Working Women

In a recent address, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen said, “It is still too hard to be a working parent.” Her words highlight a significant challenge in America, especially for mothers. Inspired by my college research paper, we’ll dive into the American childcare system and its negative impact on working women. We will start with an overview of the current state of the U.S. childcare system. and then discuss how traditional gender norms exacerbate the issue. Following this, we’ll examine the direct effects of childcare challenges on women's career paths, and consider some interesting potential solutions to the childcare crisis. I'm no expert, but I have researched this topic extensively and hope to provide an informative and engaging discussion! Support the show

I'm super excited about today's episode with Dr. Jordan Frey. He's a plastic surgeon and the Prudent Plastic Surgeon blog and website founder.

With the high costs of medical training and increasing burnout rates among doctors and medical professionals, I wanted to dig into the financial aspects of pursuing a career in medicine. Is it still worth it, financially, to become a doctor? While it's undeniably a gratifying and fantastic career, I'm curious about the financial side of things. I hope you enjoy the interview!

Olympic Economics

This summer has been all about sports. I've been glued to the TV, watching Wimbledon, the Euros, and the Olympic Tryouts. While admiring the Olympic gymnastics tryouts, especially Simone Biles' incredible routine, I started thinking about the economics of the Olympic Games. The event is a massive spectacle involving sports, athletes, arenas, advertising, and fans, and it's all deeply intertwined with money. In today's episode, I'll explore the cost-benefit analysis of hosting the Olympic Games, looking at the pros, cons, and nuances of this event we all love. Support the show
