Simons Says Podcast David Simons

”I love you.”  Three words that Dave’s mom has never spoken in her 80 years.  Not to her three kids.  Not to her three husbands.  In a compelling, and at times painful, conversation, Dave has a heart-to-heart talk with his own mother about a number of life events that shaped her.  A sexual assault that produced a child (and that would be Dave himself), a 45-year affliction with rheumatoid arthritis, losing a teenage sister in a train/car collision, a lack of religious faith, and an inability to get close to anyone.  Difficult to watch at times, uplifting at others.

We all know how difficult, even complicated, it can be to maintain a healthy diet in today’s fast-paced world.  In this Simons Says episode, author and licensed nutritionist Jennifer McDaniel tackles issues ranging from obesity drugs to fad diets to superfoods.  A must-see for anyone who takes their nutritional health seriously, and that should be all of us!

First Trust Portfolios is one of the largest providers of exchange traded funds (ETF’s) in the world, and yet many investors have never heard of the privately held company.  That’s not a mistake.  It’s intentional!  Dave interviews Jim Bowen, the outspoken CEO and Chairman of First Trust, a man who’s not afraid to mix it up politically and who admits he’s an “acquired taste."

Dave goes public for the first time with an affliction he battled for more than 30 years.  This will not only be an eye-opener for those who personally know Dave, but hopefully this episode will serve as a tool to help others who may be suffering from the same issues.

Do you fear that robots could someday destroy humanity and take over the world?  That would’ve seemed farfetched....until the sudden explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities.  Dave interviews a leading expert on AI and ChatGPT, separating fact from fiction and digging into the realities of AI and where we may be heading.

Dave gives an update on the early success of the podcasts, and then jumps into an important investing topic.  We are bombarded with a 24/7 news cycle that is creating unfounded fear, much of it based on conspiratorial nonsense.  Stop bending down picking up pennies when there are hundred dollar bills floating overhead!
