I read Fintech Today every day. I trust that Julie (today’s guest) will cover the fast changing industry for me in a condensed way. With all the acquisitions and IPO’s of late I asked her to come on the ‘Panic’ podcast to riff on the sector with me. It was a fun conversation. You can …

100 Foot Waves on HBO
I don’t surf. I know..I know…but Howard you were built for surfing. I do surf the internet and I am amazed that surfers have not sued the proper authorities to force a name change. Here is a clip from the series: I have been mesmerized by the sizes and sounds of the waves and the …
Tell Me A Story…and Make It Decentralized
Back in 2017 I wrote the following in ‘Tell Me A Story‘ : If you can’t code and you can’t tell a story, life will be harder in the workforce as the robots keep keep coming. Here we are in 2021 and the need for storytelling has accelerated. Packy McCormick has a fantastic essay on …

One with incredible volatility (crypto) and few rules, and the other with too many and not enough enforcement that has seen no volatility – the S&P… Real estate, smartphones, used cars and luxury watches seem to be …
Raoul Pal, Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision, Joins Me on Panic with Friends to Discuss Blockchain, Asset Allocation, and Harnessing the Power of Your Community (EP.162)
Happy Friday. I really love my conversations about the markets and global macro with Raoul Pal. They are funny, silly and full of deep insights in how the markets are working. Today we spent a lot of time on crypto and we agreed that this is a buy the dip environment. Raoul really got the …
My Peloton
I have had my Peloton for a few months now. I do like it. Knowing I can burn 300-500 calories in just 30 minutes is my favorite feature. It is a very efficient use of my time. I have the same complaint as everyone that I should be able to watch Netflix on the Peloton …
The Fashology Boom… Rockets AND Handbags
I have been writing about ‘fashology’ on my blog since these Oakley sunglasses hit the shelves in 2006. Oakley sold out to Luxottica and lost it’s cool. I wish they had stayed independent but I imagine Nike or Apple would have bought them by now. Today the richest people in the world are Jeff Bezos …
