The Psychology Of Investing | Becoming A Mercenary With Your Money

I'm all in baby!In Episode #465 of Mere Mortals Musings we delve into the psychology of investing, exploring the emotional and mindset aspects that influence investment decisions. A lot of focus on emotional control and mindset training, drawing parallels between fitness and investing. The importance of preparation and maintaining a neutral mindset is highlighted, as well as the dangers of getting swept up in market trends. We then shift to the broader question of why we invest, examining the motivations behind financial decisions and the concept of 'enough.' The conversation touches on the importance of understanding one's ideal cost of living and the psychological factors that drive investment choices. We also discuss the role of risk and probability in investment strategies, emphasising the need for rational and logical decision-making.Huge thanks to Chad F and Gene Everett for the support!Timeline:(00:00:00) Intro(00:02:24) Mindset Training and Emotional Control(00:08:28) The Purpose of Investing(00:16:27) Defining Enough & Cost of Ideal Living(00:27:32) Optimism and Rational Investing(00:38:38) Becoming Mercenary in Investing(00:38:38) Boostagram Lounge(00:51:10) Risk Adjusted Return and Probability(01:02:10) Reflection/Learning From Mistakes(01:04:28) V4V: Time/Talent/Treasure Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: [https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/] (https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/) Discord: [https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU] (https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReU) Twitter/X: [https://twitter.com/meremortalspod] (https://twitter.com/meremortalspod) Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/] (https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/) TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast] (https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcast) Value 4 Value Support:Boostagram: [https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support] (https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/support) Paypal: [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast] (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast) ...

Redefining Mental Health | Beyond The Buzzwords

Let's have a dive into the madness of the Mere Mortals minds!In Episode #462 of Musings, we delve into the topic of mental health, exploring its definitions, societal narratives, and personal experiences. Juan starts off with the significance of Movember, a global movement aimed at raising awareness for men's health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer. Societal expectations and personal narratives can impact one's mental health which requires us moving beyond vague definitions to more specific issues that can be addressed through practical actions.

The Future Of Media | Predictions For The Next Decade

In Episode #461 of Mere Mortals Musings, we delve into the future of media, exploring predictions for the next 1 to 5 years and beyond. We kick off by defining what media encompasses, from traditional forms like TV and newspapers to modern digital platforms and social media. Our discussion is divided into two main parts: the type of content and the structure of media. We explore how technology drives the structure of media, with historical examples leading up to the current peak of podcasting 1.0. Predictions are made for audio, video, and text formats, considering the potential changes in how these mediums are consumed and produced. We discuss the role of RSS in audio, the dominance of YouTube in video, and the potential for text to become more integrated into real-time experiences.The conversation also touches on the generational shifts in media consumption, the increasing density of information, and the potential for virtual reality and augmented reality to transform how we engage with media. We speculate on the future of content creation, the role of AI, and the potential for digital avatars to revolutionise media consumption. We also discuss the potential for live content to grow, the impact of AI-generated content, and the future of advertising in media. The episode concludes with a look at the possible standout trends for the coming decades and the implications of these changes on society.Huge thanks to Cole McCormick & Petar the Slav for supporting the show!
