History is full of brilliant people who made terrible investment decisions. In this episode, Joe DeLisi, Financial Advisor with WestPac Wealth Partners, explores how Isaac Newton and the Nobel Prize–winning economists behind Long-Term Capital Management both fell victim to speculation, leverage, and overconfidence.

Joe explains why being “super smart” doesn’t automatically translate into good financial outcomes, and why a disciplined, diversified, long-term approach is often more effective than chasing the next hot idea. This conversation is designed to help investors recognize common behavioral traps and focus on strategies that support their long-term goals.
