Max Chafkin, how are you?

Stacey Vanek Smith (0:03)

I'm good. I'm excited to talk about our new podcast, Everybody's Business.

Max Chafkin (0:07)

Me too. Business news can be confusing, dull, or right now, a little depressing.

Stacey Vanek Smith (0:13)

Not a fan of the tariffs then, Stacey.

Max Chafkin (0:16)

No. But business is about a lot more than tariffs. It is what to invest in, what to buy, when to ask for a raise, and how the technology around us is changing our lives.

You're saying this stuff matters to everybody.

Max Chafkin (0:29)

Yes, that is why we created Everybody's Business, a new weekly show from Bloomberg Businessweek hosted by me, Stacey Vanek Smith, and you, Max Chafkin.

Every week, we'll chat about the latest business news and trends, and we'll also hear from our friends at Bloomberg, like sports reporter Randall Williams.

Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.

Stacey Vanek Smith (0:53)

As well as our friends outside Bloomberg, like the great financial commentator, Kyla Scanlon.

And the chaos is part of the strategy, and the strategy is ultimately effing around and finding out.

Plus, just about everybody else. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding. But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. What will happen to the banana pudding economy?

Stacey Vanek Smith (1:15)

One of the many questions we'll attempt to answer.
