Radio Show: Coronavirus and Your Money Continued

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In keeping with the theme of August, it’s another show with two guests, along with some of your questions sprinkled in.

First up we’re talking about the labor force, which has been decimated over the last several weeks, and perhaps no group has been impacted more than the older works.

According to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute, older workers are less likely than younger ones to have jobs that can be done remotely. Almost 8 in 10 workers over 65 can’t telecommute, compared with about 6 in 10 between 35 to 44, the analysis found.

At the same time, older Americans may be at higher risk of complications from the coronavirus due to their higher rate of chronic health issues.

To discuss this and much, much more, we're joined by labor economist Teresa Ghilarducci. 

Next up is Chieh Huang, the CEO of Boxed, an online and mobile membership-free wholesale retailer that offers direct delivery of bulk-sized packages.

Founded in 2013, there’s really one simple idea behind Boxed: make shopping for bulk easy, convenient and fun, so you can focus on the things that really matter.  

But there’s much more going on behind the scenes, especially in the HR department, and that’s really what got me interested in having this conversation.

Chieh Huang has such a refreshing perspective when it comes to his employees that it’s hard not to be a fan.

Is Our Advisor Screwing Us?

You're pretty certain your mom is getting screwed by her advisor, yet she doesn't want to hear your concerns. What do you do? How do you have the talk? Can she be convinced? That’s how we started the show with Diane from Indiana.

Next up was Melanie from New Jersey who was required to buy private mortgage insurance (PMI) but is now in a position to get rid of it. Should she and her husband ditch it by refinancing? And is it okay to deplete the brokerage account for a kitchen renovation?

In hour two we’re joined by Chieh Huang, the CEO of Boxed, an online and mobile membership-free wholesale retailer that offers direct delivery of bulk-sized packages.

Founded in 2013, there’s really one simple idea behind Boxed: make shopping for bulk easy, convenient and fun, so you can focus on the things that really matter.  

But there’s much more going on behind the scenes, especially in the HR department, and that’s really what got me interested in having this conversation.

As companies large and small define and redefine the American workplace, cultivating a mission-driven culture has taken hold among America’s most successful startups. This culture is not just about free snacks and nap rooms, it is about creating an environment where feedback is not just encouraged but actively sought by upper management.

How do companies make this happen? What can you do in yours to cultivate a mission-driven culture?

Chieh Huang has such a refreshing perspective when it comes to his employees that it’s hard not to be a fan. 

More companies need to follow his lead.

The CEO of Boxed and What Matters to Him

It’s only January but we already have an early candidate for interview of the year.

His name is Chieh Huang, and he’s the CEO of Boxed, an online and mobile membership-free wholesale retailer that offers direct delivery of bulk-sized packages.

Founded in 2013, there’s really one simple idea behind Boxed: make shopping for bulk easy, convenient and fun, so you can focus on the things that really matter.
