Jennifer Wines (https://x.com/jennifer__wines) is the Author of Invisible Wealth and a Certified Wealth Planning Advisor with novel insights into the evolution of wealth in our modern age. After many years spent at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Fidelity, she observed that clients were reconceptualizing their definition of wealth (largely in part due to the standstill caused by the pandemic) and it set her off on a journey to further explore this question thoroughly. The result was the book Invisible Wealth where she sets out a framework for understanding wealth throughout history and evolving trends today, as well as the historic generational shift in wealth that is currently ongoing. This discussion provides a moment for reflection and consideration on what it really means to build wealth with value and according to our values.

Geophysicist and glaciologist Professor Jason Box (https://x.com/climate_ice) joins Richard in the studio to discuss extreme weather, water security and the politics of it all. As a scientist, Dr. Box has spent 30 years in the field studying empirical data collecting quantitative metrics on ice, meltwater and other earth atmospheric measurements in Greenland, the Arctic Circle and throughout the world. Given the current fractured political climate, espousing any view, regardless of which side of the spectrum one might be positioned, can be controversial, however this episode takes a curious approach to observing conflicting stances, reexamining our preexisting models and beliefs and reassessing whether there might be potential paths forward out there. Please join us to thoughtfully consider whether today's capital decisions might be able to mitigate increasing concerns with food security, migrants, wildfires and other natural disasters.

In a wide-ranging discussion with Benjamin J Butler (https://x.com/englishfuturist), we discuss the growing distrust of our public institutions, the future of government, environmental sustainability, systemic corruption, and the real way forward: bypassing the catchy slogans to truly address the real problems. Inflation as a permanent issue versus the natural state of the economy being deflation. And as always, how to position portfolios with all this in mind.
