I'm Darian Woods, joined by Waylon Wong.
Hello!
And we have our very special guest, Mary Childs.
Hi, thanks for having me back.
I would like to formally welcome our listeners to.
Indicators of the Week!
That's right, Darian, Mary, we are going back to our favorite Friday activity.
We're highlighting numbers from the news.
We're going to have some fun and make sense of what's happening in the economy.
Today, we're looking at just how rich Trump's nominee is for Federal Reserve chair.
We're going to talk about how Allbirds, the shoe company, became an AI firm.
And we're going to talk about why so many people with an Affordable Care Act plan did not pay their first monthly bill.
That's all after the break.
