WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why your biggest investment risk is not the market.
  • What really impacts financial decision-making over time.
  • What 36 years of geopolitical events reveal about market performance.
  • Why fear and headlines can trigger costly, irrational investment moves.
  • The dangerous gap between confidence and capability as we age.
