Episode notes

For a long time, there was just this strange stigma against masks. People thought if you were wor mask, it was weird, or you were sick,. And then there was all this information that now people think was misleading. The upside is that, you know, it may not be a hundred % effective, but ou it is somewhat effective in protecting you and also other people around you. It'll be interesting to see if the masks actually stick around after the panademic.

In this episode, I speak with Steph Smith (@stephsmithio), the Senior Analyst for the popular tech and business newsletter, the Hustle. In our wide-ranging conversation, Steph shares her thoughts about the COVID-19 pandemic and what we can expect over the coming months for life and business.

We also discuss the complex nature of the virus, why the entire world missed its window to react, how these “black swan events” lead to second and third-order effects, why many people may default to optimism, and what data we should pay attention to.
