5: Reputation in the age of the protest economy

Why reputation matters abroad, at home and at Uber. Also, we dig into the protest economy and what that means for the yarn industry.

Reputation matters. Whether it’s U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis in Iraq, or Vice President Mike Pence in Brussels, Belgium or Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber. And that’s just the stuff that happened this weekend!

Sallie Krawcheck answers our Make Me Smart question. Krawcheck is the founder and CEO of Ellevest, an investment platform for women. Previously she was the chief financial officer and ran wealth management at Citigroup.  Also, she ran Merrill Lynch after it was purchased by Bank of America. 

Molly spins a yarn about the protest economy.  And a listener makes us smart on what you’re really supposed to do if you meet a bear. Hint: Don’t run.

 

None of us is as smart as all of us.

No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.

It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.

Donate any amount to become a Marketplace Investor and help make us smarter (and make us smile!) every day.
