Investing deserves more than headlines and hot takes. Explore episodes about markets, valuation, financial planning, behavioral finance, investor psychology, risk, and the decisions we make when the future is uncertain.
Featured Episode
Why pay an advisor 1% when an index fund, robo-advisor, newsletter, or subscription service costs less? This episode breaks the relationship into three pieces: financial planning, investment management, and what happens when markets, tax laws, or life do not go according to plan.
