Have we lost our edge on innovation at the moment? Is there anything compelling? Mike tries to talk him off the ledge. We also spend some time talking about Facebook’s announcement around Libra, their new cryptocurrency offering. Will this put crypto in the mainstream? It seems like the crypto market is responding with favor!

With one kid just out of college and one headed there in a year, I really enjoyed that show with your daughter….very timely, and (even at that age) she sounded like a complete pro!
