Episode notes

Bob Greene: FTX is exploding. How does something like that happen? And could you explain the situation if you're from, are you familiar with it? He says he had a slight amount of stock in FTX only because he was an investor in BlockFi and BlockFi is connected to FTX in some way. "This thing just, everything in crypto just blew up, blew up meaning grew so fast"
