  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How the National Debt is Making Life More Expensive
Q: What could happen if the government does nothing about the debt?
Goldwein says borrowing costs could keep rising, wages could grow more slowly and interest could consume more of the budget. In a more acute scenario, a Treasury-market panic could send yields sharply higher and create financial, inflation or austerity crises, though he says the U.S. has time to act.
How the National Debt is Making Life More Expensive
Q: How did the U.S. get to more than $40 trillion in federal debt?
Goldwein says the headline gross debt includes money the government owes itself, while debt held by the public relative to GDP is more meaningful. He attributes the rise since 2001 roughly to spending increases, tax cuts and recession responses, alongside growing costs for Social Security, health care and veterans.
How to Build Wealth in Today's Economy with Kyla Scanlon
Q: When you look at young people and how they can build wealth, how can they get started right now?
Scanlon recommends investing whatever small amount is manageable, even a few dollars monthly, while paying down debt and establishing an emergency fund.
How to Build Wealth in Today's Economy with Kyla Scanlon
Q: Why did the American Dream need to change?
Scanlon says housing is undersupplied and expensive, career paths are less stable, retirement is more often an individual responsibility through a 401(k), and people are marrying and having children later.
What Kind of Investor Are You? Emma Grede and Rebecca Patterson on Risk
Q: What advice would you give younger investors?
Start early, learn vocabulary and fundamentals, maximize retirement contributions, and view investing as a long-term habit; your lifetime wealth grows more from early, consistent participation than from occasional large bets.
