Building Wealth When Markets Get Messy w/ Ben Carlson #1136

When markets turn turbulent, the biggest risk isn't what you see on the news—it's the slow bleed of inflation and undersaving. Ben Carlson, author of 'Risk and Reward' and creator of 'A Wealth of Common Sense,' joins to cut through the noise and offer practical frameworks for building lasting wealth. Using vivid analogies like shark attacks versus car accidents, he explains why we fixate on rare crises while ignoring everyday financial dangers. The conversation covers stress-testing your portfolio, the strategic role of cash, why you shouldn't try to time the AI bubble, and a simple mental shift: pay 'future you' like a monthly bill. It's a masterclass in aligning your investment strategy with actual risk, not perceived fear.
