Wall Street Unplugged looks beyond the regular headlines heard on mainstream

financial media to bring you unscripted interviews and breaking commentary direct from Wall Street

right to you on Main Street.

It's going out there, it's October 16th.

I'm Ben Curriez, you're hosted the Wall Street Unplugged Podcast,

why I break down the headlines and...

Tell you what's really moving these markets.

I'm gonna get real with you today. Share personal story with you. If you're a millennial,

list it up. You know what, even if you're 40, 50 years old, you should also listen up since this is relevant to you as well.

So my mom is 76 years old.

She has diabetes and also COPOPD that's from smoking. She quit over 30 years ago. She's active, has tons of friends, and really amazing person. I'm really close to my mom. She's great, but what's so amazing about her is it just she's always a fighter. I mean even when we lost my dad and her husband, you know, when a lot of people lose their spouse, especially when they're married for 20 or 30 years sometimes you know they can go into a little bit of depression and go into a little you know which you know happens which is normal but sometimes you see people go through life with little interest, it's such a shock.

Again, it happens all from a couple who together for 20, 30 years like my parents were.

And my mom just, you know, she just kept plugging along, kept living.

She moved down to Florida about three years ago to be close to me. She just kept plugging along, kept living.

She moved down to Florida about three years ago

to be closer to me and my family.

And she lives in a community where she's now the welcome person

in the community, so gritting all new homeowners

that come in, showing them the ropes in Florida,

even though she's been here for something like three, four years, whatever.

So she has tons of friends, she goes into movies with them, to dinner, to plays.

I mean, it's funny because when I call, she's probably more busy than I am.
