Episode notes

There will be at least some damage from a few months of this happening. But, you know, it depends on how we kind of open things up as well as to the extent of that. Consumer confidence is already weighed down. That's not going to shoot back up just because trumps has the economye s way open. And i'm not sure anyone can really model out how this will on fault.

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.
