Discussions of some of those market forces and factors are the subjects of today’s episode. Today’s topics have been grouped into three buckets – those that ***will*** be disruptive, those that ***might*** be disruptive, and those that will ***likely not*** be disruptive. As always, we’ll be fielding comments and questions during the livestream and in the comments before and after the episode airs. Have something you want to contribute?
