ATWJE - 2023 End of Year Episode with Jason & Mindy

Episode: 00191 Released on December 25, 2023 Description: Cheers to another wonderful, story-filled year! In this episode, Jason and Mindy share their annual thoughts on this past year with an emphasis on a regularly asked question on the podcast: what should you invest in today that will make you a valuable asset tomorrow? Jason and Mindy discuss the different feedback given throughout the year on this topic as well as the changes in the field in the past couple of decades, and what additional changes may take place moving forward. This thought-provoking episode may be particularly interesting for aspiring analysts.
