Episode 109: Tips for Tipping

This week we are talking all about tipping. And no, we’re not talking about cow tipping. Join us for this fun conversation as Katie, Cort, and Cam discuss tipping etiquette, the history of gratuity, and how tipping expectations have changed since the pandemic. Do you tip your server? What about the person that cleans your hotel room? Do you find gratuity necessary, classist, or a form of bribery like the state of Georgia did in 1915? Don’t miss the show as we break down the cardinal rules for tipping!

We’re just four days out from Independence Day and we can already smell the hotdogs on the grill. In today’s episode, we’re dedicating the first half of the show to digging into the history of our nation’s independence. We’ll start the show with Entertainment Weekly’s top 25 most patriotic movies. Then, we’ll discuss the Declaration of Independence and the sheer bravery our founding fathers showed in 1776. On the back half of the show, we’ll discuss how one can embrace the freedom of financial independence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal!”

Episode 107: Mental Accounting

This week we are furthering our discussion on behavioral finance by talking about mental accounting. This concept boils down to the different values a person places on the same amount of money. Mental accounting often leads people to make irrational investment decisions and behave in detrimental ways, so we are breaking down the different advantages and disadvantages. We’ll start with our list of top psychiatrists portrayed in movies and tv shows, then we’ll discuss mental accounting bias, examples of mental accounting, and overall illogical decisions with finances.

Episode 106: The Game of Risk (Part 2)

This week we are furthering our discussion on risk with respect to your investments. We’ll start the show with our list of movie characters who took big risks that paid off. Then, we’ll discuss inflation rate risk, portfolio diversification, time in the market versus timing the market, and dollar-cost averaging. As with every episode of BullCast, investment education is imperative. Avoid investments that you don’t fully understand, rely on recommendations from a professional (your fiduciary partner), don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, and remember: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

Episode 105: The Game of Risk

If you’re tuning in for an episode about the famous board game, we are sorry to disappoint. But don’t fret, we have something even better in store for you. Join us for this week’s show as we discuss the financial costs of risk and uncertainty. We’ll kick off the show with our list of the best movie and tv characters who are actuaries (or risk managers.) Then, we’ll get right down to the nitty-gritty, starting with the basics of risk. What is it, really? What are the types of financial risk? And why does portfolio diversification play such a strong role in avoiding risk? As a wise man once said, “If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.”

Episode 104: Making Lemonade from Lemons

In what we are dubbing our self-help episode, we’re posing the question, “what is going well?” Inspired by motivational speaker and author, Greg Bell, this question is a lot tougher to answer than its adverse counterpart. We’ll kick off the episode with our list of the most negative characters in pop culture. Then, Katie and Cam will dive into the idea of negativity driving human behavior. Why is it so easy to talk about what is going wrong in our lives? Why is it cathartic to play the victim card? And why is it so difficult to look on the bright side and smell the roses? Don’t miss this episode as we discuss the importance of recognizing the source of goodness in our lives and appreciating the daily blessings that surround us, no matter our circumstances.

Episode 103: What the Heck is Inflation?

Inflation is one of those buzzwords that we see every time we log on to Facebook or turn on the news – especially in today’s climate. But inflation is a lot more than just “something being really expensive.” Join us as we uncover the idea of too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. We’ll give you a list of crazy facts about inflation, define in layman’s terms what inflation is, talk about what drives it, and discuss who benefits from it. Ronald Reagan couldn’t have said it any better when he stated, “inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber, and as deadly as a hitman.”

Episode 101: Adulting and Financial Literacy 101

Adulthood can be hard, especially for those fresh out of college looking to start a career. In today’s episode, we are discussing “adulting” and the crucial financial literacy lessons that must accompany this transition in order to achieve a life of success. We’ll kick off the show with our list of the top movies about adulting and finding your direction in life. Then, we’ll discuss the things you can do to “officially” become an adult with your finances. We’ll wrap the show with an in-depth discussion on financial literacy and why it is so important to teach kids at a young age. It can be difficult to ask for help, especially for a 20-something-year old trying to make it in the world, but it’s vital that every person takes the initiative to self-educate and grow their financial knowledge … or else they will be starting off on the wrong foot and creating a path of difficulties in life. Build a fulfilling life and become financially literate!
