We live in a world obsessed with what’s new. The latest tech, the next headline, tomorrow’s market forecast. But beneath all that noise, some things stay the same. And maybe—just maybe—that’s where the real wisdom lies. Born out of a moment of reflection after a volatile April in the financial markets, I found myself returning to Morgan Housel’s work, especially his book Same as Ever. It reminded me that the most important lessons aren’t about predicting the next move—they’re about understanding the truths that don’t change. In this episode, I highlight five timeless ideas that I believe are always worth remembering: the constancy of human emotion, the quiet power of compounding, the weight of expectations on our happiness, the surprise of risk, and the challenge of holding two competing ideas—like optimism and pessimism—in balance. These aren’t hot takes. They’re not meant to be. They’re principles that have held up over decades and likely will hold up for decades more. So, if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by all that’s shifting, I invite you to slow down with me—and focus on what never changes.
