Episode #11 — Dave’s own mother! Karen Hall Simons Finkelston Gummersbach
”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.

Episode #9 - Jim Bowen, Chairman and CEO of First Trust Portfolios
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."

Episode #8 - JJ Meyer, Licensed Professional Counselor
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.

Episode #7 - Brandon Fischer, 1904 Labs
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.
-
Episode #6 - Dave Simons Himself!
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!

Simons Says Podcast
Listened to the second podcast with Frank O Pinion. Great interview and good to hear Frank’s voice. Listened to Frank from the very first day on the St. Louis airwaves until the very last. Enjoyed the interaction of you two and now going back to listen to your first podcast.

I’ve just listened to the first podcast and it was one of the best interviews that I’ve heard. I’m going to make sure that I find the time for this podcast.
