The Art of Negotiation - Be Brave, Bold and Better Paid
Simon returns the favor from episode 8 and has another conversation with Jamie Lee, negotiation consultant, this time learning from her why it is that so many of us have such a block when it comes to negotiating pay raises and promotions with employers and what mindset we should adopt and what we can practically do to obtain the outcomes we want. Spoiler; the words "research, research, research!" come up.

Simon on the "Born To Thrive" podcast
In this bonus episode, Simon is interviewed by Jamie Lee, negotiation consultant and host of the "Born To Thrive" podcast, on "Financial Truisms" including why women can be better investors than men (and why they need to be!) and how this can impact partnerships and marriages, just what is estate planning and why it is not all about money and taxes, and getting retirement planning right.

Student Loan Debt Repayment .. Optimized
There are millions of Americans managing over $1,400,000,000,000 in outstanding student loan debt principal in the US today (although, as we learn in the podcast, it's actually worse than that) and the vast majority of them are repaying their loans in the wrong way. Bobby Matson, founder and CEO of Payitoff, joins me to talk about how, with the use of advanced algorithms and technology, our clients can now learn the most optimal and efficient way to pay down their loans, map out refinancing scenarios where appropriate and get into good investing habits along the way - potentially knocking years off their repayment periods and saving thousands in interest payments.

Estate Planning .. Who Needs It and Why?
Laura Cowan, estate planning attorney in New York City, and I discuss who needs wills, living wills and health care proxies (spoiler alert: pretty much everyone needs one or more of these!), what to consider when selecting guardians for children, making preparations for an unforeseen health crisis and what happens to all those user names, passwords and logins when you die. Laura explains the process of getting documents together, but more importantly, brings up issues you may not have thought of but definitely need to consider, regardless of your age or level of wealth.

Procrastination is the Thief of Wealth
In another opinionated companion podcast to a published Business Insider article, I talk about how waiting before you start an investment plan can cost you heavily (single millennials, I'm particularly looking at you!) and I break down exactly and quantify how much of an advantage can be gained by starting right now and how damaging it can be to procrastinate.

Stock Picking is for Losers
In a companion podcast to an Investopedia article from late 2016 that I wrote, I discuss the irrefutable data that shows why picking individual stocks in which to invest is a vastly inferior and riskier strategy than using index funds and ETFs.
Somehow this managed to simultaneously piss off clueless millennial day-traders and grey-haired, dinosaur, old-school, stock-picking financial advisors. Nice!
