Our guest today has been called one of the greatest financial writers of all time. And it’s no wonder – Josh Brown started his original blog, The Reformed Broker back in 2008 as he now continues to write over at DowntownJoshBrown.com.  And his latest book “You Weren’t Supposed to See That: Secrets Every Investor Should Know” just came out yesterday in which he reveals the hidden truths that make the critical difference between understanding the world and being dangerously naive. Josh co-hosts The Compound and Friends podcast where they discuss current market trends and financial strategies. And in all of his extra time, he is the manager of billions of dollars as CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management. During our conversation today he shares why Gen Z might make more successful investors, taking a “core and explore” investing strategy rather than a simple indexed approach, what direct indexing is all about, and much more!
