A fair amount of recent guests on this program have expressed a pessimistic outlook on where the economy & markets are headed. But what do the optimists think?
A number of you have asked us to bring on an expert willing to predict that better times lie ahead.
Well, you asked, and we're delivering. Strap in for this wide-ranging interview with self-described "optimistic economist" Dr Pippa Malmgren (you can follow her on twitter @drpippam)
Adam Taggart is the President and Co-Founder of Peak Prosperity. He wears many hats, but his basic job is to handle the business side of things so that his fellow co-founder, Chris Martenson, is free to think and write. Adam is an experienced Silicon Valley internet executive and Stanford MBA. Prior to partnering with Chris (Adam was General Manager of our earlier site, ChrisMartenson.com), he was a Vice President at Yahoo!, a company he served for nine years. Before that, he did the 'startup thing' (mySimon.com, sold to CNET in 2001). As a fresh-faced graduate from Brown University in the early 1990s, Adam got a first-hand look at all that was broken with Wall Street as an investment banking analyst for Merrill Lynch. Most importantly, he's a devoted husband and dad.
