A $13 Billion Bet on Robots?

Wall Street treats demand like a line on a chart. Rob Snyder says that's exactly why investors

keep getting burned. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Rob Snyder — Harvard

Innovation Labs fellow, serial startup founder, and author of The Power of Pull — about why

customers almost never buy things because they were convinced to, what that means for how

you evaluate a publicly traded company's growth story, and how the AI boom is exposing which

software businesses have genuine demand and which ones are papering it over with an

ever-growing sales and marketing budget. He also shares the one financial metric he trusts

above all others — and the surprisingly mundane AI use cases he's most excited about.

Host: Rachel Warren

Guest: Rob Snyder

Producers: Kristi Waterworth, Lauren Budabin

Not All Revenue Growth Is Created Equal — A Harvard Fellow's Framework for Spotting the Real Thing

n this next installment of our 2026 Financial Planning Challenge, host Robert Brokamp is joined by fellow Fool Stephanie Marini to discuss the most unpleasant area of financial planning: estate planning. But it’s necessary, because while it’s nearly impossible to predict the future when it comes to most aspects of personal finance, there’s one thing we can guarantee: You and everyone you know will one day pass away – leaving assets and stuff behind to be divvied up.

Topics covered:-While it’s important to seek the counsel of an attorney in your state, you can do a lot of estate planning on your own by updating beneficiary, payable on death, and transfer on death designations on your accounts and insurance policies-What should be included in your will-When to consider a trust-Creating your “financial vault” – the document that will let your loved ones know what to do and where to find everything when you’re no longer able to manage your finances (temporarily or eternally)
