- One of my favorites
While it’s a Schwab podcast, it’s not really about economics. The topic of the podcast is really about how we make choices in our personal and work life and how this may effect how we make our finance decisions. Fascinating.
Unfortunately it has become longer than it used to be covering the human aspect too long before it gets to the point. It’s a great 25-30 minute podcast in a 40-45 minute format.

Katy and her quests always present an interesting and relevant look at why we make the decisions or take the actions we do. The format is engaging and the stories are well written and delivered. Always a bright spot in my week because I know will learn something in the next 30 mins!

I knew of Katy Milkman from the ‘No Stupid Questions’ podcast with Angela Duckworth. Angela is brilliant and she name dropped Katy so I figured I’d give it a go. So glad I did!!
