This week, Justin and Jared are back with another Lightning Pod - here’s what you can expect in this episode:

  • Oil Super Majors Performance in 2024: We dive into the lagging share prices of major oil companies and discuss what this means for investors. With ExxonMobil being the only one in the green, we explore the implications of diversification in your investment strategy.
  • The Fascinating World of Waymo: I share my recent experience riding in a Waymo self-driving car in San Francisco. We discuss the advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, the safety statistics, and what it means for the future of transportation.
  • Bench Accounting and the Risks of VC-Backed Services: We take a closer look at the recent shutdown of Bench Accounting, a company that aimed to revolutionize tax services but ultimately fell short. This discussion highlights the challenges of service-based businesses in the private equity landscape.
  • NBA Ratings and Media Access: We wrap up with a conversation about the decline in NBA ratings and the impact of media contracts on viewership. Is it the style of play, or is access to games becoming a bigger issue?
