Everyone loves an underdog. From the Jamaican bobsled team to Seabiscuit, we’re drawn to the grit, heart, and improbable rise of those who weren’t “supposed” to win. But when emotion takes the wheel — especially in investing — it can lead us into risky bets masked as hopeful stories.

In this episode, Corey and Zed unpack three powerful underdog stories and break down what they can teach us about risk, value, and decision-making. Why do we root for long shots? When does hope help — and when does it cloud judgment? And how do we separate an inspiring story from a sound investment?
