Did you know your brain is broken? Today you find out why! In this episode we talk about coffee and humor and of course the stock market. We get into some deep stuff about cognitive dissonance and how it messes with our heads. Of course the conversation reroutes to investing.

Sentiment in markets can shift unpredictably based on perceived threats or opportunities. How the top five careers of millionaires as presented by Dave Ramsey's survey may surprise you!
