Otherwise, looks like we are all in for a good session on the 6th/7th March.

Category depricated - that said 🔗 🔎 click here - and all those posts re categorized will come up - along with a lot more.
“If, at the end of your show you say “Available where you get podcasts,” then my friend, you have a podcast. If you have to say “Only available on Spotify” (or some other exclusive service), good for you, but it’s not a podcast.”

Language is important … and I am done with Corporates hijacking language so to appear better than they are.

I question the use of the word ‘wealth’.
The $1Trillion came from nowhere … and now it’s gone back to nowhere.
