Happy Friday eve, readers. I'm Phil Rosen. As a financial journalist, I'm always trying to distill complex ideas into plain language (for my own understanding as much as yours).

Good morning. I'm Phil Rosen. It's good to see you on a Saturday.
As you could guess about a journalist, I'm always looking to speak with fascinating people with unique insights. Those conversations become all the more rewarding when I can share them here in this newsletter.
So — who should I speak to next? Tweet me @philrosenn or email me at prosen@insider.com with suggestions.
