  • Thanks for gift of Apropos of Nothing

    Thanks for the fun Apropos of Nothing discussions. Personally, I think Kringle Global Enterprises (KGE) is a hidden fourth credit reporting bureau and provider of background checks. Revenue is not reported because government customers prohibit it. Also expect that Deep Throat was a KGE employee; however, his leaks from the naughty list were directed by the "big man" himself.

    Chris is a great interviewer with years of experience and connections from hosting Motley Fool Money. Fool’s might consider some of the episodes as mashups of a MFM interview and an Apropo... more

The Financial Journalist Who Ignored the Markets (John Wordock)

A realization that creatives need accessible financial education and a platform that treats them with respect, which led to the shift from art to accounting and eventually to building a client-centered tax practice.
