Summary
I've been busy today preparing for Hurricane Irma here at the Radical Personal Finance Global Headquarters.
At the moment, the National Hurricane Center forecasts the eye of the storm to pass squarely over HQ.
So, I thought I'd record a podcast and share a few things with you:
- Based on watching the Hurricane Irma frenzy, I'm convinced that "societal collapse" scenarios are plausible. I learned this at Costco yesterday.
- I'm also convinced we live in the greatest time to be alive and that there are so many tremendously powerful companies who are laser-focused on serving their customers. I learned this at Costco today. And from reading this article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/inside-story-what-took-keep-texas-grocery-chain-running-chip-cutter
- The final 20 minutes of the show involves an off-the-cuff discussion of practical hurricane preparation if you decide to stay put through a storm.
Gotta run! Lots to do...
