015 - One Basket, Bigger Eggs: Diversification, Part 2

In the conclusion of our deep dive into Diversification, Jared exposes the common habit of using "portfolio enhancement" as an excuse to buy things we simply want—from gun collections and classic cars to vintage weight plates. Moving beyond the balance sheet, this episode applies the principles of portfolio management to the most critical investing macros of time and energy. Jared explores the danger of the Under-Diversified Life, which makes us vulnerable to a single crisis, versus the Over-Diversified Life, which keeps us locked in mediocrity. You will learn why "alphabet soup" professional designations are often a red flag, how over-specialization in medicine has created "sick care" instead of health care, and why investing in "unproductive" hobbies—like model trains or photography—is actually a strategic necessity for energy-giving refuge during life’s inevitable plateaus. The episode concludes with a practical 10-Block Macro Audit to help you rebalance your life portfolio for maximum impact.   For detailed show notes, a full transcript, and other resources, visit our website at www.vestedjb.com [http://www.vestedjb.com]

014 - Increase Your Chances of Survival: Diversification, Part 1

In Episode 014, Jared breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in finance: Diversification. Moving past the tired "eggs in one basket" cliché, we explore diversification as a tool for managing uncertainty and avoiding "Game Over" scenarios in your life portfolio. You will learn the difference between company-specific risk and systematic risk, the danger of "diworsification," and why the ultimate goal is a strategic blend of diversification (for survivability) and concentration (for acceleration). From Wisconsin winter trudges to the 2008 mortgage crisis, this episode provides a blunt, fact-focused audit of how to spread your resources without spreading yourself too thin.    For episode show notes, a full transcript, and other resources, visit our website at www.vestedjb.com [http://www.vestedjb.com]

013 - Your Investment Plan for Gains: Putting in the Reps, Part 2

In the conclusion of his deep dive into "The Rep," Jared shifts from the philosophy of consistency to the mechanics of effectiveness. Putting in the reps is only half the battle; the other half is ensuring those reps send a "strong signal" to force adaptation. We explore the irony of being highly adaptable yet naturally resistant to change, and why "Easy and Effective" will always beat "Hard and Ineffective." From the 10% Rule in endurance to making decisions once that bring results forever, this episode dives into environmental design, lowering friction, and building a capacity for excellence that translates across every domain of your life portfolio.   For detailed show notes, a full transcript, and other resources, visit our website at www.vestedjb.com [http://www.vestedjb.com]

012 - Putting in the Reps, Part 1: Earning it Over Time

In Episode 012, Jared introduces the most fundamental unit of progress in the "Everything Is Investing" framework: The Rep. Moving beyond the abstract idea of making life "deposits," Jared argues that everything meaningful—from a resilient marriage to a profitable business—is built through a daunting string of small, unnotable, and repeatable reps. This episode deconstructs why we are drawn to shortcuts and "get-rich-quick" hacks, and why the ultimate competitive advantage is learning to love the "grindy" reps that others quit. We explore the training montage fallacy, the difference between earning an identity and merely declaring one, and why movement is the only effective cure for being "stuck." Whether you are looking to fix your finances or your fitness, learn why the answer to "How many reps?" is always the same: ALL OF THEM.

011 - Play the Comparison Game the Right Way: Benchmarking Explained

In Episode 011, Jared explores the double-edged sword of comparison. While we are often told that "comparison is the thief of joy," Jared argues that for a portfolio manager, it is a vital diagnostic tool—provided you stop comparing like a middle schooler and start comparing like a professional. We unpack the critical difference between the ego-driven "comparison game" and the strategy-driven process of benchmarking. Through this episode, you will learn how to answer the two most important questions in your life portfolio: "Compared to what?" and "For what purpose?" Jared breaks down the danger of "anti-benchmarks" and why the most powerful benchmark you possess is yourself yesterday. Learn how to draw a line between where you are and where you are going to create the only metric that truly matters: your trajectory.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
