Acorns CEO: The Scariest Part of Investing Is the First Step, with Noah Kerner

Noah Kerner, CEO and chairman of Acorns, joins Paula Pant to discuss why so many people avoid looking at their money and how that avoidance quietly costs them. He shares how his own fear of a guaranteed 2.5% return kept him out of investing for a decade. The conversation covers making saving automatic and small, why people feel broke during a long bull market, and how app design changes investor behavior. Kerner also talks about why boring investing wins, the difference between patience and prediction, and what happened when his health forced him to stop working.
