Using Chris Guillebeau's book, The Money Tree, as a starting point, Brett and Andrew evaluate how people can apply effort and inventiveness to creating and monetizing value in unusual ways. "No matter what's happening, there are always people with money." Adding anti-fragility is the ability to go and find money. Brett thinks everybody is capable of this. Andrew disagrees, sorta. === Connect with Us === Andrew is @cfoandrew on Twitter Brett is @mrbrettkelly on Twitter Brett runs Robot Army Industries Everything Andrew does Mile High by tubebackr | https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/

This week, your favvy bois chat about how wealth is relative and how it's possible to see growth when everything else is taking a massive dump. Andrew informs Brett that you can't drink brown liquor before five o'clock. Brett calls hooey on this "rule." === Connect with Us === Andrew is @cfoandrew on Twitter Brett is @mrbrettkelly on Twitter Brett runs Robot Army Industries Everything Andrew does Mile High by tubebackr | https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/

This week, your boys unpack the notion of how a gradually re-opening economy might look and affect businesses. Specifically: Brett cynically assumes lots of people will use an abundance of caution as an excuse for laziness. How remote work's newfound acceptance will affect things like real estate, employee benefits, etc. Potential changes to the fundamental nature of work and how performance is measured. Also, Brett fumes about the subpar music in the live-action remake of The Lion King. Andrew subsequently complains about crappy remakes of classic movies. Other highlights include: Brett hears "threenager" for the first time, falls in love. "This one's called 'Better Will Hunting.'" None of us have anything to talk about. Administrative Note: Brett screwed up the scheduling for the previous episode and it went out almost a week late. Proof of his imperfection abounds and he regrets the error. === Connect with Us === Andrew is @cfoandrew on Twitter Brett is @mrbrettkelly on Twitter Brett runs Robot Army Industries Everything Andrew does === Attribution === Mile High by tubebackr | https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/

In this episode, Brett recounts his unexplained banning from Facebook. The old men then go on to lecture at length about the importance of owning your data and maintaining ultimate control of it. === Links and Miscellany === Turns out Jack & Diane is indeed pretty popular. The John Grisham book Brett was trying to think of is The Rainmaker. Brett's newly minted rebuild of his site. @middleclassfancy on Instagram is worth your time. === Connect with Us === Andrew is @cfoandrew on Twitter Brett is @mrbrettkelly on Twitter Brett runs Robot Army Industries Everything Andrew does

(Editor's note: Brett announces this is episode "001" at the start, but that's wrong. Computers wouldn't let assign zero to an episode, so this is episode two. You probably didn't even notice this, but we're pointing it out because we CARE.) This week on the newly minted Means of Production, we discuss the financial relief options available to small businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, Andrew outlines the various bills and financial programs currently in play (and why people should cool it with demanding the government do things). Also, Andrew describes Tail Risk Hedges. Brett pretends to understand this along with most of what Andrew talks about during this episode. == Links==Request your stimulus payment from the IRS
