Why is it that nice guys always seem to finish last? There’s something that doesn’t seem fair about the jerks in the world winning in business and life. Does a middle ground exist, and is that the secret spot for success? David Bodanis argues there is a middle ground and combining that with listening, respect and trust is the secret recipe to success. He joins us today to tell some incredible stories of how these principles have played out in people’s lives.
Football is back! The American kind, anyway, and we dive into how one NFL team is partnering with a financial literacy firm to help educate Americans on money habits and skills to help grow their wealth. We’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to Leah who wants to know when’s the right time to buy a house. And to tie it all together, Doug will share some of his trivia.
Enjoy!
