Very insightful. Daniel Crosby combines meaning, wellness, purpose, and finance to provide a comprehensive
perspective on happiness, wholeness, and well-being. Full of knowledge bombs and memorable quotes. I love his book, Soul of Wealth. This podcast covers different but complementary concepts. Looking forward to his next book!
This podcast used to offer insightful content, but it has taken a disappointing turn. Recent episodes feel unfocused and meandering, lacking the clarity and substance that once defined the show. Dr. Crosby’s commentary, which now resembles overreliance on AI-generated language, gives the impression of forced depth without meaningful insight. What once felt thoughtful now comes across as incoherent and self-indulgent.
Daniel brings a unique expertise to the area of investment and behavioral psychology, sharing ideas in an easy to understand way for the everyday listener. He has a great balance between letting his guests speak about their experiences, while adding his own thoughts throughout the conversation. I was hooked right away!
There are lots of experts in the world. However, there are fewer who are really interesting to listen to. And then there are even fewer who are clever, insightful, and informed. DANIEL is one of those people who offers great insight with a very human touch. If you have not listened to Daniel Crosby, you’ve got to check him out!
This is an absolute favorite!
