By the time this episode is released, I sure hope we have an answer to who won the 2024 presidential election.
I wanted to take a few minutes to explain my strategy of how I have handled this current election cycle, highlighting what I have done and, more importantly what I have not done.
While tuning out the noise of the election is hard, patience and long-term strategies must win out vs. over-reactive decision-making based on political outcomes. Market performance is not solely dictated by what party is in power but rather by fundamental company performance and economic indicators.
I encourage you to focus on your financial plan and the best ways to achieve it through our spending, savings, and investment strategies.

Dr. Teryn Clarke – Building Healthy Habits: Overcoming Fear and Anxiety Through Tiny Changes
Do you ever wonder why fear takes over when trying to gain traction when it comes to your physical or financial health?
Dr. Teryn Clake, our resident neurologist expert, is back to discuss why negative feedback loops are stronger than positive ones, making change difficult.
Making changes is challenging due to the conflict between the primitive "lizard brain" (focused on immediate gratification) and the human prefrontal cortex (capable of long-term planning). Successful habit formation requires a three-pronged approach: resetting mindset, implementing tiny habits, and providing self-rewards.
With insights from books like "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, Dr. Teryn explains how tiny, incremental changes can lead to significant, lasting improvements. Additionally, we cover how visualizing long-term success and using practical tools like habit trackers can help solidify new behaviors.
Listen as we uncover strategies for overcoming fear to harness the benefits of time and compounding in health and finances.

Every day, we are surrounded by our emotions. But how can we use our emotions as information rather than be bullied by them?
Our resident therapist expert, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette, joins us once again to discuss the concept of emotions as information and explore how our feelings significantly impact our financial decisions, careers, and overall life choices.
Dr. Jen shares practical techniques to navigate powerful emotions like fear and anger, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness, grounding, and understanding our values. She also introduces the concept of agency, helping us recognize that we have more control over our lives than we might realize.

We also highlight the crucial role of a supportive inner circle and how to effectively utilize our emotions to make better decisions and move forward.

If you haven't heard, a presidential election is happening this year. This often leads to a topic of conversation or a series of questions about what will happen to the stock market, depending on who wins.
In this episode, I dive into why politics should stay out of your portfolio. Why time invested in the market is better than trying to time the market. And there is data that squarely proves this concept.
This is the first episode that might be better to watch/listen to on our YouTube channel as I utilize various charts to illustrate that investment success isn't tied to whether a Republican or Democrat is in office but rather to consistently staying invested over time.
There is actionable advice for navigating the emotional roller coaster of investing, especially in politically charged times. My objective with this conversation is to equip you with the knowledge to stay focused on long-term financial health, regardless of who occupies the White House.

Are you frustrated with your current job but aren't taking the first step you know you need to make to implement a positive change?
Carrie Schochet, executive recruiter and founder of Purple Squirrel Advisors, rejoins us as we navigate career challenges and changes. We dive deep into the importance of networking and making meaningful connections, even in unexpected places. A concept we explore is "net giving" as opposed to simply "networking," drawing inspiration from the book "The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg.
We also tackle the fear and uncertainty many individuals face when considering a career change, particularly when receiving counteroffers from their current employers. Carrie shares her personal experience with this situation and emphasizes the significance of understanding one's purpose and level of commitment to one's job.
There are multiple challenges to managing career dissatisfaction within dual-income families. We cover the crucial role of communication and support when seeking job changes or transitioning careers. Carrie offers valuable advice on utilizing LinkedIn discreetly to signal interest to recruiters without alerting current employers.
Please enjoy my conversation Carrie Schochet.

When does a cost stop being an expense and start being an investment?
The answer to this question is part of a broader search for helping people identify and develop their purpose and supporting objectives, not solely from a financial perspective but more from a personal and lifestyle perspective.
Ultimately, the transition from expense to investment often involves a shift in mindset. It requires thinking beyond immediate gratification and considering the long-term impact of your decisions.
The secret to determining when a cost stops being an expense and becomes an investment is that there isn't a formula to calculate. You can put a value on your time, but how much value do you put on doing the things in life you really want to do?
