Positively Sloped is where markets, culture, and momentum collide — because the most interesting things in the world are the ones trending up and to the right. Jake and Scott break down what’s moving — in the markets, in the headlines, and in your group chat — with sharp insights, real opinions, and just enough irreverence to make finance actually fun. These are the conversations we’ve been having for years — debates, hot takes, and deep dives — just now with a mic in front of us.
