Ed is an asset to this show for sure. I hope his remuneration is as good as Scott insinuates!

[@TheMitchyevans]

Yeah, I hope it's closer to $35k than $30k 10:22. 😂

I'm a 66 year old retiree and I am very glad I found this channel. I only wish I could have heard this advice 45 years ago.

[@Meishach2112]

My resentment over the things my parents did wrong was holding me back. My parents made big mistakes, but they treated me with more respect and kindness than they were treated by their parents, by quite a bit, and I don’t resent my grandparents either, they were good people. Respecting children as human beings is actually rather modern. My goal is to be 10x more loving and kind to my kids than my parents were, but I have not been and will never be perfect. I need to be more giving with my wife without keeping score so much.

[@lynno1974]

Spend it or give it away. You're like a Christmas miracle of sane thinking. We get one kick at this, make it count.

[@john-s3w6c]

Ed, you have a fabulous accent. Don't ever lose it. Thought you would be great at voiceover's & audio books! Enjoy the show, and appreciate your eloquent company.

[@deborahmoshier-dunn6269]

I love the "unlock" concept and the whole "be a better parent than your parent was" - my Mom was also abused as a child but raised us without abuse. That's a huge leap!

[@hdsushi7628]

I need to internalize the part prof G talked about being essentially a good person, being the person you wish the other person was without expecting anything in return. Thanks Prof G. You may just have set me on the path to fixing my own relationship with my dad and abandoning the score card in my future relationships. Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬💚

[@BasyaW]

Scott, I am so moved by your honesty and willingness to be vulnerable. I would love to know you "in real life". Your values, your generosity of spirit -- wow. May you know only happiness and success, and love. Thank you for your podcast.

[@dramriddell]

Brilliant episode. Prof G (Markets, Show) have been my YT find of the year. I'm not American (Australian), I don't live in the US but I am US educated and I find the discourse here very inspiring, witty and prescient. Always a joy to engage with because the dynamic is so effective, particularly in this instance. In anticipation of more...

[@goasu151]

One of the best videos produced so far. Prof G's father and what he overcame means a lot to me. Keep punching above your weight class - used in my interview last week and I stumped them. Best, J. Gold

[@SOHOsummit]

Goal achieved Ed, best podcast on the interweb, IMO anyway. You guys crack me up, as in multiple LOLs per podcast, but you also provide a ton of valuable insights, therefore I watch pretty much every episode. All the best for 2025...

[@heychaz]

8:54 for the most genuine smile I've ever seen from Scott.

[@john-s3w6c]

Merry Christmas to you Prof G, Ed, Clare, and all your families, friends and colleauges. Thanks for the Podcast. Love it.

[@joshuaglassmyer8358]

That last set of questions and Scott's responses regarding Ed struck me square in the heart. Appreciate you guys letting us into the club.

[@kolezzz]

I love this podcast. Cannot miss a single episode.

[@cuzzinpaulie]

I just came across this guy recently and been eating up his content. I disagree with some of his political ideas a bit being right politically but his over message is spot on that both parties need to embrace. I like that he has the rough around the edges attitude about the things he believes and they way he says it. This alone is they way men should behave. Having the confidence to say shit that may offend people but with the intent to truly help people. Thats what we need as a society. Some tough love and truth.

[@dan-i3s4u]

Merry Xmas Prof G Team. As a 30yo running a small business with a kid on the way I can’t get enough of your content at the moment, it’s been invaluable. And I never comment on anything so that just shows how appreciative I am! Keep up the great work guys.

[@jackhamm7745]

Being in between both of these guys ages it's actually kind of nice how they set this podcast up. Scott sounds wise to me, Ed sounds young and maybe a bit naive. That's not to say Ed isn't good at his role, he knows way more about markets than I do. It's just good to have that juxtaposition, and I'm sure that was somewhat intentional.

[@302JH]

Well Prof. G team, I am hooked... I haven't truly enjoyed a podcast like this in a long while. Your team produces fine work.

[@joaneychuang4694]

“Large language model is not crawling the read world.” Very true and profound.

Enjoy the tips about story telling. I'm an engineer and I am giving a presentation on Public Speaking in a few months to my peers in the field. It's hilarious how all these engineers who are managers and in front of clients cannot speak well. Being entertaining, humorous, and attention grabbing are definitely some of my talking points.

[@TheProfGPod]

Good luck with your presentation!

[@theresa922]

Scott and Ed- Enjoy your show. I also appreciate Nick Hanauer's perspective from Pitchfork Economics podcast and TED talk. He also asks the questions that matter like how to create a more just society. Please consider having him on your show.

[@OLUWANIGERIA]

First time watching the Podcast here in KZbin. I use Spotify to listen it on the car while driving home-work-home, BUT I love it, feels a lot more personal. Amazing episode. Couple of things to share with my boys. Merry Christmas guys, thanks a lot for every single episode. I'm on my 50's and want to feel like Scott in the office with my juniors Engineers. Have fun with the love ones. Cheers!!

[@kazkim9152]

When I first heard few minutes of Scott Galloway speak, I thought he was a bit in the manosphere. Glad I didn't let that judgment stop me from listening to him again, though it took few more years. Thanks for the great work by him and his team. Enjoy the rest of the year, and... well, we'll see what happens to our society in 2025 and beyond.

excellent Advice Ed, As a 75 ye3ar old i can still remember being 21 and not know where i wantewd to go with my life. Had to stay on the conventional track to avoid shooting at Vietnamese kept me there, so i did not have the option of dropping out but there was still no direction from within

13:00 Host speaking beautifully about forgiving his flawed father. SG is like Nero Wolf in that his standards are his own and intended to be something, represent, who do you wan to see in the mirror every morning, who do you want to live with. 15:00 Ed (I love his name, so ordinary, one syllable, for such a sophisticated, grown up young man) earning respect, says he's guided by his own principles and interests so he doesn't want to align with one pill or another, be on a podcast talking about diets, workout regimes, and magic potions that solve ones life. I admire people with calm authority and their own identity. 16:00 This podcast would be more exceptional if you brought more heart into it; like emotional vulnerability, where you find support when things get really hard, community, how you stay connected and positive. Charity begins at home and in our AI, Ozempic, money driven world our basic humanity doesn't get a lot of love in the media, so working that in even more, you do display real affection on the show, would be impressive and kind of a boss move. When I see people in mainstream media that exhibit real emotional depth, embody human values first and foremost, I always take notice and am impressed, El-Erian or Bernie Sanders comes to mind. I guess it comes down to personal values and how you express them in the world. 23:00 Producer gives what I asked for, shares a story about a work trip to Tulum, amazing dinner, DJ Apellido, and dancing on the beach, all together, under the stars, feeling great love and connection with her co-workers. Thank you female person. Hombres take note.

[@norrisyu]

You guys need to bring Gary Stevenson from Gary Economics on the show! Be interesting to see Ed and him the young lads chat!

[@Marsubleu]

Great discussion, as always. I still think this team would benefit from some diversified inputs, like a European team member, not raised into the American money obsession. Ed has some of this, but having a Pole, a French or a German person in the production team would certainly widen the debate. Especially if you want this to become the most influential podcast in the world.

I wrote an urban crime fiction 10 years ago which was a metaphor for the "trapped" of being disabled, from the perspective of crippling poverty, written by a Canadian who has otherwise experienced both, despite the good fortune of race, gender, and nationality behind its "sails" (Ba-doom-psssh).

[@MH-pl5zi]

Funny, true story. I’m new to the pod and from the get-go, I assumed it was Ed‘s pod and that Scott was in some kind of producer role and came on for the recognition. I never want to assumed Ed was cohost. Ed, maybe you’ve already made it exclamation point

[@mikekanecopywriter]

12:50 great talk about relationship-

[@pstolee]

Is Galloway entertaining? Absolutely!....to answer the question. But that Neil Postman description of contemporary media does little to define this ''performance''. Prof G's stupid ''man-jokes''' transition to an authenticity, a vulnerability and a truth that Ed thoughtfully adds nuance or even an opposing view. The prose-and-play of the the old and young, papa and son, give perspective and lead the listener to a better understanding of how markets, the economy and the world work. Galloway radiates with experience and expertise; Ed shines thoughtfully with analysis. The two bring a a dialectic through humour, humanity and wisdom that helps us decipher the stock market shit show. Thanks guys

I am not a bald man, but I definitely think it looks way better to finish shaving the whole head if a man is balding. It looks intentional, and women appreciate that it does take a decent amount of effort to maintain the bald style.

[@CulbsDC]

Can’t wait to hear you guys talk about this piece from Jim Cramer’s column today: “The private equity industry is going to push the Trump administration to let it expand to individuals through 401(k) retirement savings plans, The Financial Times reported. An expanded menu or a dangerous alternative? Such a move would no doubt be good for the likes of Apollo, Blue Owl, Blackstone and KKR.”

[@NS-fc9rs]

Love to listen to Scott, but when I hear he spent a quarter of a million bucks on his bday it makes me feel gross. Comparison is a thief of joy, that's on me. Kudos to Scott to talk about it though, gives me a glimpse above the clouds.

[@henrytep8884]

Is not like he blew it on strippers and drugs though. He literally wanted to hang out with his family and friends.

Brilliant stuff on the accents, too bad everyone here is too young to remember Orlando Joe Jett and his accent.

My dad went full maga after Jan 06 and haven’t really talked to him much bc of it. He seems like he’s lost touch with reality and has been hanging around a bunch of older boomers in the Philippines and is just sad to see. I can forgive his childhood and such but not the bad decisions made in adulthood

[@pkal244]

Same. Dad got on the far right train during the bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh days and hasn't got off it. He can't have a conversation without bringing up politics and is glued to Fox News from his messy living room. It's a sad life and I find it hard to relate to him on any level because he loves to politicize everything.

[@theusersol]

There's truth to the maga movement guys. And just like every truth there's bullshit wrapped into it. Just try listening to him, don't have to agree just dont fight against it

[@midlifefulfilled]

Scott, I have followed you for years. I've always found your humor and insights enlightening and entertaining. I know you're an atheist, but I gotta say as a Christian, your opening "come to Jesus" joke crossed a red line. You're entitled to your beliefs and I know you don't give a shit what others think about you. Until today, I thought you were worth my time. Not anymore. I'm done with you. My unsubscribe will have zero impact on you, I know that. But, I'll sleep better knowing that I stand up for Jesus. If you ask Jesus to forgive you I know that he will. But I can't. I'm done with you.

[@nathanschmidt4260]

I was also really disappointed. Scott’s message of being more understanding and protective over people as a man has been lost on me with these jokes. And yeah, he can do what he wants - but I find it really hard to believe that Scott would take a joke if Jews were part of the punchline.

[@jordansage9655]

[@JasonLee-vp1kq]

Dr. Galloway, if you want to branch out of your political bubble, don't just focus on "conservative" voices.. you could use some input from more left wing voices. For simplicity sake, Medi Hassan would be a place to start. These are the voices that have traditionally and structurally never had any real power, if you look at it from the perspective of an ongoing class struggle involving capital vs labor... and of course that's the real struggle that perpetuates through history and various political systems. The current main stream "left" that exists in a country which sports the largest wealth disparity in recorded history might just be more to the right of center than you're willing to accept. As a wealthy man that's profited from this system, you're naturally going to lean into a very, very moderate view of any critique of that system, and it's going to be easy to fall into the concept that it's your own ability that led to that success when you look around the current media scape which is full of examples of idiocy and incompetence from the proletariat. That's not the story of our times, it's the story you're being presented by capital to justify the power dynamic. So look around, not to the right because you think you're on the left.. look to the left where there are very few elected officials, no billionaire oligarchs (zero), and has never had a president or king to champion their cause.
