Plus, I share ways to diversify your money and reduce risk going forward.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn’t panic because of the recent bank collapses  What’s protected (and what’s not) with FDIC insurance How the fractional reserve banking system works and why it fails sometimes  How social media dramatically changed the landscape of bank runs  Five ways to diversify your money    RESOURCES Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Me: @chriswharder Visit My Website: https://chrisharder.me
