Ravi sits down with financial writer and Animal Spirits co-host Ben Carlson to discuss investing, inflation, market psychology, and why long-term optimism still wins. From stock market crashes and recessions to AI, passive investing, retirement, and wealth building, Ben explains why trying to time the market often backfires—and what investors should do instead. They also explore today's biggest economic risks, from government debt and tariffs to tech concentration and speculative investing. If you're wondering how to build wealth in an uncertain world, this conversation offers a practical framework for staying invested and thinking long term.
