If a mistake is predictable we should be able to prevent it. However, normal people continue to make the same money mistakes over and over again. Arindam Nag was a reporter for some of the most well-known financial publications and is today educating consumers because he saw so many mistakes being repeated. “There has to be a better way to educate people,” he thought. His boot-strapped start-up, Centsai.com, is his answer to his question.

Marty Strong’s time as a Navy SEAL taught him how to plan for the unknown, evaluate his assets, and utilize whatever was given to him. This method of thinking then made Marty a business success. Frustrated with the lack of actionable lessons in business books, he wrote Be Nimble to offer the lessons he learned with the SEALs, how they applied to business, and how you and I can apply these lessons to our life, too.

David Bronner was 28 years old when he accepted the top job at the Retirement Systems of Alabama. 160 other names were submitted prior to his. Today, nearly fifty years later, Dr Bronner leads one of the world’s largest pension funds and has done more to positively shape the image of the state of Alabama than any other single person. He’ll never say this about himself, but he was pegged as a savant from an early age and as his talent bloomed, the state and the state’s retirees were lifted along as well.

The words enthusiastic and charismatic don’t come close to capturing the energy Bello Nock gives away. We had breakfast at the Beau Rivage Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi where he was performing – he’s now at MGM National Harbor – and later got him on the phone for our interview. He’s the perfect mix of “show” + “business”. He manages his own troupe consisting of acts from many nations plus five more troupes across the country, all moving from place to place. His daughter performs at SeaWorld San Diego – she’s the eighth generation Nock family performer. Amazing conversation.

Eunice Mingo is a licensed therapist. I invite her on the show to help me understand the voilence that’s escalating everywhere across our country these days. Where is it coming from and what can you and I do to keep people around us from getting so far out of control? We also hear her perspective as an African American after the Buffalo, NY shootings. “We feel hunted,” she says.
