Listen "Overcoming Ego"
Episode Synopsis
A stubborn ego can cloud one's judgment, leading to short-sighted investment decisions. This is significantly pronounced in recent market phenomena, like the cryptocurrency and NFT trends, where inflated egos led to the creation of economic bubbles that ultimately burst, causing in some cases, severe financial damage. Dennis and Katie share the importance of recognizing ego biases to make more rational and balanced financial and investing decisions. The ego wants to be a winner, wants to be on top, wants to be better, the best, and winning. But I think the better thing to focus on is your potential. - Dennis MortonClick here to listen on your favorite podcast app.Connect with Katie & Dennis:Connect with Katie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-m-brown/Connect with Dennis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-morton-jr/Subscribe for more: https://www.mortonbrownfw.com/subscribe/Give feedback: [email protected] Disclosures: https://www.mortonbrownfw.com/important-disclosures/Reference Links:Number Go Up: Inside Crypto's Wild Rise and Staggering Fall by Zeke FauxSam Bankman-Fried Quoted on Sequoia Capital's site (since been scrubbed)
