When the market is a rollercoaster and headlines won’t stop screaming, even the savviest investors can start second-guessing everything. In this episode, Pete, Damian, and Kristen unpack what confidence in investing actually means—and how to build it, rebuild it, and protect it when doubt creeps in.
Segment 1 kicks off by normalizing the fear that even seasoned investors feel, especially in today’s world of economic whiplash and geopolitical uncertainty. Then in Segment 2, the team breaks down the four pillars of a trustworthy portfolio—clarity of purpose, evidence-based design, behavior as the engine, and regular (not obsessive) reviews. Finally, Segment 3 offers practical tools to reset your mindset when confidence takes a hit.
Whether you’re a hands-on investor or someone who treats their 401(k) like a haunted house, this episode will help you shift your focus from predicting the market to trusting your plan. Because calm isn’t magic—it’s a skill.
