    Is the Stock Market in for a 2021 Correction? Or Has It Just Grown Bigger?

    Some people use the phrase "What goes up must come down" to describe the stock market. In this episode, I put an end to that kind of simplistic thinking and argue for why the stock market might not see a significant crash anytime soon.

    Get Ready for the "Great Retirement" of 2022

    How many people will retire early in 2022? There's reason to believe that the number will be high. In fact, the “Great Retirement” might become the next tagline to grace the front pages of Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. Retirees, businesses, and young working Americans alike would be wise to hedge against volatility and prepare a strategy in case the "Great Retirement" comes true.

    Radiohead, In Rainbows, and the Inevitable Age of Pay What You Want Pricing

    In this episode, we explore Radiohead's 2007 digital album release where the band allowed fans to download In Rainbows for any price they wanted - even for free. Was it a good idea? Did it work? We break down research in marketing and psychology to answer these questions. And maybe... just maybe, Pay What You Want pricing is the future for small artists and online communities.
