5. Decentralized Finance and Vacation Pro Tips

Welcome to episode 5 of Thoughts From the Pickup Line, hosted by Tyler Smith and Brandon “BG” Gregg, two financial planners and family men from Indiana, who wanted to create a finance podcast about more than just finance.

Every week on Thoughts From the Pickup Line, listen to Tyler and BG give their thoughts on financial planning and investments, family, the things that bring them joy, the challenges they encounter along the way, and how they overcome them.

This week's topic is vacation! During the check-in, Tyler talks about his vacation to Panama City.

Then, Tyler and BG give their pro tips for your next vacation–find out the safest forms of payment to carry, the best ways to find savings on vacation, and why you should avoid Tyler at the airport.

BG gives an update on the state on his Wordle score. Was he able to destroy the 100-day goal?

The guys reflect on what's been happening in their lives as of late: Pokémon, live music, and a business they love in Lafayette.

This week, when thinking about investments, Tyler and BG think about crypto, by way of decentralized finance, or DeFi. They break down what it is, how it's different from traditional finance, and the future of crypto.

To close out the episode, the guys share what they're grateful for, give family updates, and share plans for the 4th of July!
