The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

From Washington to Wall Street to our credit cards, borrowing has become a way of life.

In this Deep Dive, Scott examines America’s reliance on debt and who ultimately pays the price. Then, Morgan Housel joins him to discuss the difference between borrowing that builds wealth and borrowing that leaves you vulnerable, how housing costs are reshaping young people’s financial choices, and why lasting financial success depends less on predicting the future than being able to withstand it.

How America Became Addicted to Debt — with Morgan Housel

This is a bonus episode of The Prof G Pod — beginning this week, we’re publishing an extra Conversations episode every Tuesday.

Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals, joins Scott Galloway to discuss why our obsession with optimizing every part of life is making us more anxious, not more fulfilled.

He explains why productivity systems and “maxxing” culture tend to backfire, how embracing our limits can be freeing rather than defeatist, and why AI won’t solve the deeper problem of trying to outrun our own finitude. Plus, how to tell the difference between healthy discipline and an optimization mindset that’s gone too far.
