Welcome to the year 2000.

It's a very special listener question episode. I know what you're saying. What's special about it? How is this listener

with me, our audio producer Alexis Moore. Hi Alexis. Hi, Jack. What are, uh, what are

some of the topics? Give us a sprinkling of the topics we're going to hear about, uh, coming up.

Yeah, we have a few really good ones. We're going to talk about passive investing and its
