Shepherding America's Wealth During Corona 

This week, CIO Rick Pitcairn was a guest on Adam Johnson's Bullseye Brief podcast. Launched in 2016, Bullseye is aimed at exploring people and companies changing the world.

In his Bullseye podcast series, Johnson delivers thoughtful conversations about money and life. In this week's episode, Adam and Rick discuss how Pitcairn is steering through the storm as well as why trading less is more, how to immunize our portfolio, and where to find your place of calm.
