  • Good guests but not very engaging

    Came to this postcard once the daily Sofi podcast was terminated. That was a really good one, I listened to it for years, every day. Liz is pragmatic, but hard to connect with. I don't really like how she conducts interviews, despite the great guests. Wish the daily podcast comes back!

  • Informational, entertaining, and relatable

    This is an excellent podcast by Liz and SoFi. I find the information to be informational, entertaining, and relatable. My favorite episode is when Liz interviews Steve Young and he talks about his transition from the NFL to business and venture capital. As a recently retired RN and stay at home dad who is passionate about investing and personal finance, it gives me hope that I might be able to continue to help make the world a better place outside of healthcare.

Q: What should investors look for in cybersecurity companies given AI's impact?

AI Is Transforming Cybersecurity. Here’s What to Know.
Q: What do you think is the biggest threat to companies today?

Tony Robbins on Investing Beyond the Stock Market
Q: What sets a really good decision maker apart from others?
The ability to decide quickly and decisively using a clear, six-step framework: define outcomes, list options, assess consequences, evaluate probability, mitigate downside, and resolve the chosen path, then learn from the result.
