SUMMARY
———————————
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the timeless approach of equity ownership for wealth building. It's all about cutting through the noise and focusing on the proven success of investing in the finest companies worldwide.

I tackle the 'this time is different' myth head-on, offering historical evidence that demonstrates the resilience of shares through economic ups and downs. I'm here to equip you with the mindset to stand firm in your investment decisions, even when headlines and market fluctuations test your resolve.

By joining me, you're not just listening to another finance podcast—you're stepping into a space where we confront economic uncertainty with informed strategies that have stood the test of time. I'm genuinely thankful for you walking this path with me toward investment enlightenment.

In our journey together, I stress the importance of conviction in your investment choices and the power of compounding for your financial legacy. The goal here is to share knowledge that empowers you to build and secure long-term wealth, beyond the short-term volatility that can so easily distract.

So, if you're ready to reaffirm your belief in the value of global shares and want a companion in navigating these sometimes stormy investment waters, this is the episode for you. Let's reinforce our financial acumen together.

Remember, this isn't just about money—it's about sustaining prosperity and enabling philanthropy through savvy investing. Join me as we continue to build on these crucial concepts.

QUOTES
———————————
"Every rational, profit-seeking business does two things we can't imagine the stock market doing. First, rational profit-seeking businesses refuse to lose money any longer than they have to. When an event occurs, the business is acting to protect investors' capital and position for recovery. Every employee, every manager, every executive, and every board member are thereto protect and grow investors' capital."

"The five beliefs which I hope you're going to save and revisit are truths about how the world economies and markets work. They are factual, they are foundational, they're based on evidence. 'This time is different' is always an attempt to separate you from that history and evidence."

"Believing the five, you believe in something more powerful, more true, more real, more enduring than headlines, and you cannot be scared out of your genuinely well-asset allocated and broadly diversified portfolios of the great companies of the US and the world. Not being scared out means never having to decide when to re-enter and it means never interrupting the most powerful financial force on earth: Compounding."

ABOUT MINDFUL MONEY
———————————
Do you struggle with money? You’re not alone.
Money is a means, not an end. It’s a necessity of life for sure, but more money does not always guarantee a “good life”. Money enables many aspects of modern life, but as a dominant consideration it becomes destructive.
The paradox is that more time and energy spent on personal finance does NOT create better outcomes. Unlike many other parts of life, we can’t create better outcomes by being smarter, spending more time, or putting in more effort.
Join Mindful Money author and experienced 40-year investor Jonathan DeYoe as he shares stories from artists, authors, entrepreneurs, and other advisors about how they mindfully minimize their need to think about money and get more out of life.
If you aren’t happy with your finances, feel like money takes more time that it should, or want to place your financial decisions into the broader context of your life, this show is for you.
Each episode will draw the line between the “enough” activities that the academics tell us are additive to family outcomes, and those “little bit more” efforts that take time and sap energy, but do NOT improve outcomes.
