Brian Feroldi - Invest In Your Mindset

Being human provides a distinct disadvantage while attempting to invest optimally. The issue is, we are emotional. The psychological aspect of investing is one that is discussed often and the ability to control emotion is argued by many to be the single most important aspect of an investor’s strategy. For this reason, I thought the subject of psychology in investing may provide a fantastic discussion with one of the great minds of our current day, Brian Feroldi!

In this episode, Brian and I discuss;

2:02 What psychological hurdles do investors need to conquer if they are to be successful investors?

4:00 How can investors maintain conviction during a bear market?

7:15 How can investors maintain control over emotions such as FOMO?

10:00 How can investors adjust their portfolios based on their personalities/circumstances?

13:37 How can investors prepare themselves for downside risk?

20:44 Is Brain’s strategy set or does he still tweak it now and then?

22:55 Should we study psychological or technical expertise from great investors?

25:30 Final thoughts and tips from Brian Thanks for watching/listening! If you’re interested in Brian’s content you can find links to his Twitter, e-Book, and courses below!

Sae’Von Springer - The Crypto Ecosystem

The wild world of crypto is something to behold.. In a relatively short period of time we have witnessed bitcoin's cataclysmic rise from less than a penny, to pizza money, to 70K USD, and back down to 16K USD where we currently sit today (02JAN2023).

At a time when FTX, a leader amongst crypto exchanges has filed for bankruptcy, and cryptocurrencies are in what appears to be a systemic bear market, I felt the need to invite  @SaeVonSpringer  back on the show to give us an update on all things crypto.

Sae'Von is the author of "The Blockchain Blueprint" (now available) and is the founder of Native Assets, a blockchain firm specializing in educational training, detailed industry analysis, and corporate advising.

Needless to say, Sae'Von is well versed in the ever-evolving world of crypto and a fantastic guest for any podcast. It was a blast interviewing Sae'Von for this episode of Tav's 2 Cents! Hope you enjoy the show!

Thanks for listening,

Joe

Ellen Wald, PH.D. - The OPEC+ Effect

Oil is one of the most important commodities on the planet today. Without oil, and the energy that oil provides our modern economy, our current way of life would essentially come to a standstill..

It should come as no surprise then that the oil landscape both politically and financially is unequivocally interesting!

For this reason, I truly enjoy any opportunity to discuss oil with someone as educated and informed as the guest for this podcast Ellen Wald PH.D. Ellen is a historian and scholar of the energy industry and western involvement in the Middle East. Ellen wrote the book Saudi, Inc.: The Arabian Kingdom's Pursuit of Profit and Power, and has a vast knowledge of the Middle East and oil markets in general.

As you can imagine, this was an amazing podcast and one that I hope you will enjoy!

If you’d like to hear/read more from Ellen, you can find her content here: http://www.ellenrwald.com/
