Yeet the Rich
If a billionaire donates money to a good cause, does that make them a good person? Hosts Emily Walsh and Daniel Moss are two married millennials who learned about financial crises by living through them, and now they’re diving into the wild world of the uber rich. They discuss financial crimes, the breakdown of the American dream, and why funding a museum doesn’t necessarily make you a good person. They get into the old timey rich, like the Rockafeller family, and current events, like why you might not want to shop at Walmart. Each week they’ll dive into a new wealthy person, give you the rundown on their lives, whatever “good things” they’ve done in the past, and why they might be a bummer.

WeWork Part Three- Jail From The Future
We are now to the point in our story where WeWork has more money than they know what to do with and their main investor is advising Adam Neuman to be even Crazier! And he absolutely delivers!
The company slowly goes more and more off the rails, using their vast amounts of money to completely crush any competition and making almost no money while doing it.
And then we have some classic unicorn founder nonsense. They live large while their employees are still getting paid like they are part of a scrappy startup.
The seeds are all there and we are just prepping for the inevitable downfall. Hope y'all enjoy!
