About This Episode: 

When it comes to investing, there’s a simple truth most people don’t appreciate until they live it: 

Some lessons are far more expensive to learn the hard way. 

You can read about market cycles. 

But it’s very different when you watch your net worth fall by 30% in real time. 

That’s often when emotions take over, and when costly decisions are made. 

After more than 20 years in the financial industry and working with hundreds of families, one theme continues to surface: investment success is far more behavioral than mathematical.
