We solve the mathematical problem of causing an enormous increase in one's bank account balance through human effort.
The podcast therefore has two themes, mathematics and human behaviour. Together, behavioural investing. We take a first principles approach by summarising scientific studies and interviewing psychology and mathematics researchers. This will show us the first principles. We will then reason from these first principles to the best strategy to cause optimal human investing behaviour.
