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.

Today we talked with licensed clinical psychologist and behavioral finance consultant Dr. Joy Lere. We covered the paralysing effect of shame and how it's a mistake to think of emotions as bad. The conversation then turned to relationship damaging, smartphone-driven habit loops and the consequences for our capacity to focus. We concluded with a discussion about possibilities for elevating, rather than obscuring, humanity's wealth accumulation abilities.
Dr. Lere was introduced to us via Twitter by none other than Dr. Daniel Crosby, author of The Behavioral Investor. She can be reached on Twitter and Instagram with the same handle, @joylerepsyd. She's also on LinkedIn and Substack, with the wonderful newsletter name of Freud + Finance.
