In this episode, I break down one of the biggest forces shaping every investor’s behavior — the human brain. This isn’t about inflation, interest rates, or elections. It’s about how our wiring — the same instincts that once kept us alive — can now sabotage our decision-making in the markets.

We’ll explore Daniel Kahneman’s System 1 and System 2 thinking — the battle between our emotional reflexes and our rational mind — and why understanding the difference can help you make smarter, calmer investment decisions. From Krispy Kreme stock to the Boston Celtics, we’ll look at how “gut feelings” often steer investors wrong, and how a few simple strategies can help you build resilience when the market tests your nerves.

As James Clear says, you don’t rise to the level of your goals — you fall to the level of your systems. The goal today: build better systems for your thinking, not just your portfolio.
