- Expected Value: The Decision Framework You’ve Been Missing
Most people make financial decisions based on how they feel in the moment. Risk managers don’t. We use a simple tool that cuts through emotion, hype, and uncertainty — and once you learn it, you’ll never look at money the same way again.
Today, I’m going to teach you the most powerful decision framework in finance: expected value.

Most people think the biggest risk in their financial life is losing money. It’s not. The biggest risk is not knowing what risk you’re actually taking.
Today, I’m going to show you the one risk that quietly shapes every financial decision you make — and why ignoring it is the fastest way to blow up your future.

About The Risk Manager’s Guide to Money
From the publisher's feed
The Risk Manager’s Guide to Money is the podcast that teaches you to think about your finances the way institutions think about billion‑dollar decisions.
Hosted by Jay Malcolm—an MBA and financial mathematics student, and quantitative risk analyst—the show breaks down personal finance, investing, and crypto using the same frameworks banks, hedge funds, and regulators rely on to evaluate uncertainty, incentives, and long‑term outcomes.
Each episode takes one real‑world money question and analyzes it through the lens of risk:
How do you evaluate an investment when the future is uncertain?
What hidden incentives shape the financial products you use every day?
How do you spot tail risks before they blow up your portfolio?
What separates sustainable crypto projects from speculative noise?
No hype. No shortcuts. Just clear, structured thinking you can actually use.
If you want to make smarter financial decisions, understand markets more deeply, and build a mindset that holds up under stress, this is your guide.
Think about your money the way institutions think about billions.
