Welcome back to the Runway to Retirement Podcast, Episode 20

In this episode, Rob McGregor breaks down one of the biggest risks to your long term wealth, and it is not the market. It is behaviour.

Drawing on over 40 years of market experience, Rob explains why most investors underperform the very investments they choose, and how small behavioural mistakes can cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions, over time.

Using his simple “MESS IT UP” framework, Rob walks through the most common traps investors fall into. From reacting to media headlines and emotional decision making, to short term thinking, trying to time the market, lack of diversification, and chasing past performance.

He also explains why even professionals struggle to consistently outperform, why timing the market rarely works, and how a disciplined, long term approach can dramatically improve your outcomes.

It is a practical, eye opening episode that shows you how to avoid the common mistakes and stay on track to building long term wealth with confidence.
