Episode notes

In the fast-paced world of AI and information, there is a common trap of feeling like you must know everything to stay ahead. However, many of the urgent topics and information that people stress over now may not be as crucial as they seem. Looking back at past events, like listening to year-old podcasts, shows how many concerns never materialized. The sense of urgency often pushed in the media is often misplaced, and it's unnecessary to always be on the cutting edge. It is essential to remember that trends and information constantly change, and it's okay not to constantly be at the forefront of every new development.

Episode 593: Sam Parr ( https://twitter.com/theSamParr ) and Jason Fried ( https://x.com/jasonfried ) open up about personal finances, raising kids around wealth and dealing with risk.
