Mark shares his decades of research on the neuroscience of investing and how our brains are NOT wired for smart financial decisions. We dive deep into the psychological "screens" and "money demons" that hold us back from abundant, wealthy lifestyles and living our dreams. Mark offers a refreshing perspective on how to approach investing using science and data rather than emotions. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your finances to the next level, this conversation will change how you think about money and the American Dream.
