This is a special edition of Macrovoices, the premier financial podcast targeting professional

finance, high net worth individuals, family offices, and other sophisticated investors.

Now for this special edition of Macrovoices, here's Eric Townsend.

I've received some really terrific feedback from the audience since airing the first episode,

and I want to thank everyone who responded both on Twitter and in email.

Please understand that I can't reply personally to every single email I received due to the

sheer volume of messages.

Before we dive into the second episode, I'd like to acknowledge a couple of trends in

the feedback I got on the first episode and give you some more specific detail on the

feedback I need from the second episode, which is coming up in this podcast.

I'm also going to give you a new ending for the first episode, because based on your

feedback, we moved some of the content in episode 5 into episode 1.

Several of you requested a faster release schedule than one episode per week.

I'm flattered by your interest, but please understand that our production team has limited

bandwidth, and we can only produce so much content each week.

If we're able to make more frequent releases, we'll do so, but please don't expect more

than one episode per week from this project.

The strongest and most consistent feedback that I received relates to something I'm already

in strong agreement with my critics on.

A retired hedge fund manager in his late 50s, lecturing 20-somethings and telling them that

their strongest and most passionately held beliefs are misinformed and wrong.

Just plain isn't a good look and won't sell the message.
