Summary

Grace Puma and Christiana Smith Shi have been where you're trying to go. Puma was the COO of Pepsico, one of the largest brands on earth, and Smith Shi was the President of Nike Consumer Direct after over twenty years at a little consulting firm called McKinsey. Today they join us in the basement to help you reimagine your career and focus on the big picture while still doing a great job at the position you're holding now. How can you be both strategic AND focused? They'll share. Plus, they'll talk about the value of changing jobs (or employers), how to polish your resume, and how to lead yourself through organizations to find the top.

In our headline segment we're visited by another star....this one in the tax planning world. Ed Slott is back, and he's fired up about your retirement accounts. His take: stop saving into pre-tax 401k plans and IRAs! Why? Here during tax season Ed joins us to dive into what we SHOULD be focusing on this tax season....and reminding us what we should ignore.

But that's not all. We also answer a call for help from a Stacker who's wondering about the latest Robinhood promotion. Even though we're not fans of the company, should he take the free money? Of course, we also save time for Doug's trivia question, and much, much more.
