I love how the conversation felt a bit more organic in this episode. Sometimes they feel a bit constricted by their script of questions, but in this episode they felt a bit more free-wheeling. I enjoyed that a lot.
@@crimsonpirate1710 which ones and why? All of them have experience in the industry, they provide fairly level headed info, and they're civil about their objections when faced with them.
Another fantastic video by the Rational Reminder! Question, would you folks ever consider interviewing Patrick Boyle, Aswath Damodaran or Ramit Sethi? They're all pretty successful in their own way and each quite different. Patrick is super interesting, Aswath is brilliant and Ramit is probably the best at branding and marketing in the online finance space. I do find these interviews with none academics to be very interesting. Well done!
How money works makes you feel smarter with no push or desire to improve your living situation. Start no business, leave no job, be happy with what little you have.
Ironically this coming from someone who Darin would criticise due to the pitch/framing of side hustles: "Social media isn't the problem. Social media exposes us for who we are" (Paraphrased statement from Gary Vee) Point being: I think there is limited ability to protect anybody from themselves. Unless you put financial literacy onto the curriculum in schooling and wait a few decades, those aspirations will not be tamed and for that matter someone is gonna deliver to that. These algorithm can only do exactly that: Give you more of what you want. People by virtue of who they are and how they process information will have vastly different online experiences due to that. Broadly any company which would try to play god and set an agenda here would go out of business,...and you see this exactly for yourself when you craft your videos to appeal. The internet is mostly ad-based and with that it's all about attention, which then plays into peoples' lesser urges. PS: I find it funny how I already follow most of the mentioned finance people. Good for me,...and I still have to assume: Not me but the algorithm. Thx for a great episode!!
This episode led me to watch several How Money Works RUclips videos. I find them beautifully made and also full of exaggeration. Points that go against the narrative are mostly ignored. In the highly uncertain world of investing Darin Soat sounds very certain. Interestingly, in the Rational Reminder Episode he comes across as a reasonable guy. Puzzling.
I agree. A lot of it is probably a byproduct of feeding the algorithm like he talks about a lot in this podcast - keeping viewers engaged through exciting and confident narration, engaging in bombastic narratives that viewers will be drawn to (Your Biggest Financial Mistake - Being born too late), etc. That said some videos are better than others and a lot of research goes into them. Definitely miles ahead of other channels that operate in a similar tone.
Interesting take on no real interest in responsible financial content - when I was a chemistry/physics teacher coming from being a sell-side analyst - I started an investing club for my students to teach real financial information to my student “apes” - the students would all show up every week and we would end up meeting for 3 hrs (scheduled for 1 hr). They were super engaged and interesting.
29:04 Darren is proof that audiences DON'T necessarily want just moonshots. You can succeed with general good advice and tearing down the creator economy from within.
Sounds like excessively risk-averse person. Can’t imagine who finds this sort of content appealing, mostly seems intuitive. Maybe he should ask himself a question as to what would happen if everyone just followed script provided by popular culture. Conman have been around for long time and to certain extent it can’t be helped.

He says RUclips is a bad business, he doesn't like most people in the finance niche, he's obsessed with hiding his identity to be a better employee. Dude why are you here growing a massive RUclips channel. Leave now and get your job back.
wow when i was in investment banking I couldn't barely managed to go to the gym once a week and this guy managed to launch a RUclips channel!

Rational Reminder, How Money Works, Patrick Boyle, Plain Bagel, by our powers combine we are Captain Finance!
Some awful choices there. Your loss if you view them.

@@me0101001000 You really can’t observe the hypocrisy?
@@youwillnotgetmyintents no, I don't. Kindly enlighten me.
@@crimsonpirate1710Unfortunately, there are people who like to buy into inaccurate data and their followers demonstrate that.
heel yee a crossover i didn't expect to see today
I’ve spoken to Darin personally and he’s a good dude!
He’s not good at all. He’s egotistical and inaccurate, though.
Patrick Boyle next please!
Love How Money Works! Way to go for booking him for this interview. 4 minutes in and I'm excited for this episode!!!!
Finfluencers be pushin' that gas station sushi. ⛽️ 🍣
Well played!
No way I could be an investment banker. This guy was one AND also making his youtube videos? Legend.
Epic, seems all the RUclips channels I watch, are secretly connected😂
So glad to see two RUclipsrs that i follow religiously collab. If you guys also do the compound show and Patrick Boyle my dreams would come true!
Great interview! Very insightful 👍
This is the main reason why I got rid of Morning Brew.
I'm happy to see that some people are still honest and tell it like it is.
Exactly. The amount of 'boot strap' SV founder talk that filled it product was to much.

That was not the case for me. I’m glad I left a job, I’m happy with the little I have and not doing work I was good at but hated.
Great cross-over episode. Two of my favourite content creators working together. A big thank you to both teams for what they do.

@@L3vacheFunny because his claims are often disproven and not always accurate. Please do your research thoroughly.
I am really surprised that HMW is not a 25 yr old blonde guy named Chad. He really has that voice.
This was a fun change of pace.
Great! Fondest regards to Mr. HMW from one of his subscribers.
This is great, thanks.
Great guest. A much needed video exposing the world of FinFluencers.
The barrier for entry for youtube is so low that's why it's so hard to make money from it.
Thanks from Ukraine!
I watch this channel for wisdom. I watch other finfluencers for entertainment.
Fantastic conversation, covers the entire spectrum of topics on personal financing very neatly.

On the topic of the dumb money movie…I was so angry at the narrative that was being pushed I left.
Oop, lost a bet that you’re actually Richard from the Plain Bagel. (for HMW)
Does affiliate marketing work?

He has yet to provide factual realistic advice.
i like boring and that's one of the problems were having
His voice is different. 😂
He must be using a weird audio filter on his RUclips channel.
This was terribly dull.

Why does he sound tired or annoyed. Not excited at all. Delete this entire video
Well this just exposed how much Darin Soat’s ramblings are a waste of time with nothing factual or sensical provided.
He says RUclips is a bad business, he doesn't like most people in the finance niche, he's obsessed with hiding his identity to be a better employee. Dude why are you here growing a massive RUclips channel. Leave now and get your job back.
Very useful
