Episode 151: The Villainous Recession

This week, we are discussing a very scary word: recession. While this term may make people break out in a cold sweat, it’s actually a fairly normal economic event. We’ll start the show with an ode to superheroes as National Superhero Day is April 28th. We’ll have a superhero-themed Would You Rather, then run down our list of the world’s richest superheroes. In the meat of the show, we’ll talk about what a recession is and what causes it. In this high-level episode, we’ll also help define some jargon and concepts that often accompany a recession including consumer confidence, unemployment rates, and political instability. While recessions aren’t ever a walk in the park, they are an unavoidable stage of the economic cycle. It is better to be prepared for one than to enter a recession cycle without a clear game plan.

Episode 150: Bankruptcy

As a follow-up to our Debt Consolidation episode, we will be discussing the ins and outs of Bankruptcy this week. We’ll kick off the show with our Weekly Volatility segment, detailing the personal highs and lows of the week. Then, we’ll do The List where we discuss the most powerful fictional corporations in TV shows. In the meat of the show, we’ll talk about what bankruptcy actually is and the stigma that is attached to it. Katie, Cort, and Cam will chat about the different types of Bankruptcy as well as the advantages and disadvantages of filing. Bankruptcy, while giving debtors the opportunity for a clean slate, is a tough road, and building back your credit score and reputation can be devastating for some. While we don’t recommend that clients file for bankruptcy, we do recognize that sometimes people may get overwhelmed with debt. We invite you to tune in to hear about all of the options available for dealing with that debt!

Episode 145: The ABCs of SRI and ESG (Socially Responsible Investing)

While SRI (Socially Responsible Investing) may seem like a new concept, it has actually been around for quite some time. Join us this week as we break down SRI, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing), and a lot of other acronyms. We’ll start the show with a list that honors Global Recycling Day: the best movies with an environmental focus. Then, we’ll define environmental-focused investing. Many people confuse SRI with ESG. While they fit within the same framework, they are actually two different things! Don’t miss this episode as we discuss investing with a clear conscience, the benefits and main concerns within these two investment areas, and the role a fiduciary has to his/her clients’ needs and desires. Since so much can be said about this topic, stay tuned for Part II where we discuss the different pros and cons of SRI and ESG!
