  • Weekly pearls of wisdom.

    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!

  • Used to be great

    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.

  • Fascinating conversations

    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!

  • Great podcast for behavioral finance

    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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Edmans - The Madness of Markets
Q: Is there any signal here when you're telling these stories about how something like a sporting event or the weather might move the market?
The signal is the broader point that emotions and psychological factors can influence behavior and, in turn, price movements, even if the events themselves don't affect fundamentals.
Adam Cockerham - Your Money and Your Mind
Q: How should someone evaluate financial freedom beyond a number?
Freedom comes from feeling free and having an internal sense of control, not simply reaching a monetary threshold; wealth can still cause anxiety if meaning and purpose are missing.
Adam Cockerham - Your Money and Your Mind
Q: What is the deeper problem money exposes beyond numbers?
Money often reveals underlying beliefs, identity, and relationships; without meaningful context, wealth can become a hollow goal rather than a source of fulfillment.
Jamie Bosse - Investing for Tweens
Q: What is one positive thing a parent could implement to help a tween build a healthy relationship with money?
Create a framework for follow-up conversations about money decisions, helping kids connect choices with outcomes and reinforcing value-based spending.
Jamie Bosse - Investing for Tweens
Q: What should a parent do to teach money skills without scolding or shaming a tween after a purchase?
Have non-judgmental follow-ups weeks later to reflect on the purchase, discuss what went well or not, and reinforce learning through real-life consequences.
