Marshall and Kyla discuss how she originated the term "Vibecession," and why it perfectly describes the mood of mid-2020s America, educational gaps when it comes to money and market related topics, using social media and publishing tools such as Substack to inform audiences, generational differences, and why she believes the "Abundance Agenda" is the best hope for improving economic opportunity.
