What was it like to work with such a talented cast on Lost?
When the economy isn’t doing great, do you think the media bears some responsibility for making things worse, with all their negative coverage, causing people to reduce spending even more than they need to?
Do you think the economy is nearing a recession? How are you investing in today’s market environment? Are you bullish or bearish? Is there an AI stock market bubble brewing? Or do you think we are near the peak? Curious about the SNES game lineup or 1973 Sony TV in the background? AMA!

Why do you think there is a divide in how the economy and markets are doing vs. public perception? It feels so strange hearing such a diverse set of opinions when it’s always seemed to be more black and white in the past.
What’s the number one economic idea/concept you HATE reporting on because, no matter how many times you explain it, it never seems like the public correctly understands it?
In a very dumbed down way, do you think there’s a recession like the 2008 one on the way? I’m thinking of buying a house here in Mexico (I’m Mexican myself) but fear massive layoffs might affect me, especially since the firm I work for is from the US.
Is Bill Ackman right about BI?
