Episode 167-Overcoming the Cassandra Effect and Some More 2011 Predictions




The Chip Monk Family Survival Podcast show

Summary: What is the "Cassandra Effect" you ask?  Well, it's something that Chip has been working out in his pea-sized brain over the course of the past six months or so.  The idea is (drawing from mythology) a way to describe that feeling you get when you see trouble brewing in the world and you try to convey your concerns to your family and friends, but no one will listen.  So on this episode I discuss how to get reluctant family members to recognize your concerns (similar to what I discussed in Episode 43) along with a few predictions about what the next six months or so could hold (similar to Episode 34).  Consider this a "potpourri" or "smorgasbord" episode where I bounce around quite a bit. :) (NOTE: Here is a link to some background on the Cassandra mythology so you can better understand my basic premise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra )
