Dr. Tyler Rosier - Wired for Wealth
Tune in to hear: What did Dr. Rosier see in his clinical work that convinced him that the way in which people handle money is, at its core, partially a brain problem? What does clinical neuropsychology add to the behavioral finance picture when we are trying to understand why people do what they do with money and why they can know the right thing but still fail to do the right thing? What is one place where an underlying neurological mechanism gives birth to a behavior that a behavioral finance expert might flag and what should we do about this? Why do money scripts have such staying power for us, even when we may become consciously aware of them? What are some practical ways we can bring our money scripts to our awareness and are there some common money scripts we should be on the look out for? Is this the kind of thing that people need a financial therapist, or a psychotherapist, to root out or can it just be done with selfwork and introspection? Why are high-achievers still vulnerable to scarcity mindsets, even when it is so divergent from their present reality? How can people apply Dr. Rosier’s “wired framework” and what is it exactly? Once someone has woken up to previously unexamined money scripts, how can they sort of jam the signal when our wiring is so limbic and deep? If someone were to design a financial environment that makes good decisions easy and bad decisions hard, what might this look like in particular? What signals should investors look for that it’s time to take a step back or time to take a pause before making a decision? What is it that creates the gap between the financial life we say we want and the financial life we lead?

Peter Lazaroff - The Perfect Portfolio: How to Build an Investment Strategy That Fits Your Behavior, Goals and Life
Tune in to hear: Why did the writing of Peter’s new book end in his family getting a new puppy?

Why does he think portfolio construction should be centered around human behavior instead of what is mathematically optimal? What are some of the most effective guardrails advisors can implement in portfolios to protect against the detrimental effect loss aversion can have on investor behavior? Why does Peter describe attention itself as an investment risk factor in his new book? Also, what is to be done about this from a practical standpoint?

Dr. Daniel Crosby - The Psychology of Sports Betting and Investing: How Gambling Culture Reshapes Retail Investor Behavior and What Advisors Should Do About It
Tune in to hear: What did Betterment’s 2026 Retail Investor Survey uncover about Gen Z investors and sports betting and why is this finding so significant? Do Gen Z’s financial prospects look more promising than Gen X and the millennials, according to the data? Are they more or less likely to contribute to workplace retirement programs? Why is the dopamine hit of sports betting, and similar “financial entertainment,” so psychologically powerful? Also, why are variable reward schedules such strong reinforcers of behavior? How do the psychological principles of recency bias, near-miss effects, social proof and loss chasing reinforce the addictiveness of gambling? What are the important distinctions between an investor, a trader, a speculator and a gambler? What are the different questions each of these individuals are asking? Why is the gamification of investing so detrimental to investor performance?

Ryan Eisenman - Making Private Markets More Accessible
Tune in to hear: What did Ryan see about the way people were managing private investments that made him think his company Arch needed to exist? How does Ryan think the constant feedback and news around public markets affects investors and can the relative quiet of private markets give us a different experience from a behavioral perspective? What can the longer time horizon of private markets teach us about patience, conviction, how to invest and delayed gratification? For investors who rely exclusively on public markets, what sorts of exposure might they be missing from their portfolio? What role should private markets play in filling these potential gaps in exposure? What are Ryan’s thoughts around who should have access to private markets? What role can tech play in making private market investing more equitable? Does the Arch diligence tool ever tell investors to run far away from certain investments? Should the technique used to vet private companies differ in a meaningful way from the way investors and advisors vet public companies? Do some of the constraints around investing in private companies (e.g. the project just beginning to break ground) lead to more optimal or suboptimal investor behavior? What is Ryan’s prediction for the future of private markets? What is something that someone has done for Ryan, or something that he has experienced, that has fundamentally changed how he thinks about showing up for the people around him?

John Crawford IV - The Case for Value and Dividend Investing: Building Wealth, Income and Resilience
Tune in to hear: What is one thing that the investment community has made more complicated than it needs to be, in John’s opinion? How does an oldschool, value and dividend focused shop like John’s get folks interested in this style of investing that is so well supported but seems to almost be forgotten in the present day? Has John found that when clients have an income element to their portfolio, they are more settled and more able to stay the course? How does Crawford Investment Counsel think about risk reduction in a portfolio, both behaviorally and otherwise? Does John look at things like beta, or is he looking exclusively at absolutely fundamental things in terms of the quality of the company? Where in a company’s lifecycles does Crawford Investment Counsel look and why do they believe this is a source of potential alpha? How does Crawford Investment Counsel ensure that they never stray from their first principles in difficult times? What in particular has John done to raise gentle, kind and grateful children in a world where children of means can sometimes act entitled? If John was approached by a 30 year old investor today, and they were asking for one piece of personal financial advice, what would he tell them?

Matt Halloran - Shut Up and Listen
Tune in to hear: If Matt could take one lesson from his former life as a therapist and impart it to all the advisors that he serves, what would that lesson be? What compelled Matt to write his new book, Shut the F Up and Listen, and why did he think this message was particularly important in this moment we are in? The impulse to listen in order to respond, or to listen in order to solve a problem, is a really human impulse. How can we move beyond this and begin listening just for the sake of listening? What does it look like when one enters a conversation with intent and how does that look different from more opportunistic forms of listening? How can advisors best read what’s not being said in the room, through body language or otherwise, while remaining sensitive? How would Matt advise advisors to think about creating the optimal conditions for psychological safety in their offices? Is there ever a time that advisors should be more directive with their clients?
