107: The Rise of Passive Investing - How Index Funds Changed Everything (1976–2026) - Ultra-Extended Edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is not just another episode - it is an invitation to slow down, settle in, and truly absorb one of the most important, yet often underappreciated, revolutions in the history of finance: the rise of passive investing and the index fund. Today’s story is not about overnight fortunes or catastrophic losses. It is about a simple, almost radical idea that quietly dismantled an entire industry’s business model, saved trillions of dollars for ordinary people, challenged the myth of active-manager

103: The Emerging AI Bubble - Hype, Valuation, and the Risk of 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt

This is the story of how artificial intelligence—once a niche field of academic research and sci-fi speculation—has exploded into the dominant narrative driving global markets. Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, AI has become the single largest force in stock-market gains.
