The Thoughtful Investor
Good investing begins with an honest assessment of what you know, what you don't, and how you make decisions when the future is uncertain.
About the Podcast
Investing deserves more than headlines and hot takes.
We have access to more financial information than at any other point in history. Markets move in real time. Opinions arrive instantly. Forecasts, charts, predictions, and financial commentary are available almost everywhere.
But more information does not necessarily make us better investors.
The Thoughtful Investor explores investing, financial planning, market history, behavioral finance, investor psychology, risk, diversification, valuation, patience, incentives, and the limits of what any of us can know about the future.
The goal is to help listeners become more thoughtful about the way they make decisions with money.
Your Host
Bryan Yach, CFP®
Bryan Yach is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and financial advisor with more than 15 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate investing, retirement, and complex financial decisions.
Before founding Yach Advisors, Bryan spent much of his career working with affluent and high-net-worth families at one of the largest financial institutions in the United States.
His work as an advisor and financial educator has reinforced a simple idea: good financial decisions require more than access to information. They require judgment, perspective, and an understanding of how people actually behave when money and uncertainty collide.
The Thoughtful Investor brings those ideas together through conversations about markets, investing, financial planning, behavioral finance, economic history, and the research behind the way investors make decisions.
