Weather (And Climate) Lessons From A Meteorologist
Weather shapes our lives and, occasionally, puts our lives at risk. But the skill of meteorologists means we can prepare and take action when we need to. Host Amy Laburda and Managing VP Paul Jacobs sit down with Mark Papier, a Certified Consulting Meteorologist, to talk about what it was like covering Hurricane Sandy at The Weather Channel, how a popular weather app feature is misleading you, and the ways that AI is likely to shape the future of weather forecasting. Mark also discusses his perspective on climate change, as well as what individuals can do to help move climate trends in the right direction. This episode may not give you your 10-day forecast, but it can offer you a new perspective on whatever conditions come your way.

Online Gambling Risks More Than Money
Gambling, and especially betting on sports, is more accessible than ever, with the rise of dedicated apps and partnerships between sportsbooks and professional sports organizations. But what are the true costs? Financial adviser Melinda Kibler and mental health counselor Vanessa Fernandez explore the ins and outs of how gambling is becoming more normalized — and the impact that normalization can have on your wallet and your mental health. Learn how everything from squishies to prediction markets can offer dopamine hits that your brain comes to crave, why setting dollar limits on your habit is critical even for casual gamblers, and why some people who gamble find it impossible to stop without help. Vanessa and Melinda also identify resources for individuals who may be dealing with gambling disorder, and for their loved ones.

Managing The Death Of A Longtime Client
The financial advisers at Palisades Hudson work with individuals and families over the course of decades. Navigating the decline and death of a client they’ve known for a very long time is a fundamental part of the job. Larry Elkin, Eric Meermann and Rebecca Pavese — three of the firm’s executives, each with more than 25 years of experience in their field — join host Amy Laburda for a roundtable discussion of how advisers experience a client’s death. They talk frankly about the emotional side of the loss, the ways they can step in to help the loved ones left behind, and why planning needs to happen before the end arrives. Personal finance rarely gets more personal than in the premiere of “Something Personal,” Season Four.
