Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we break down the hidden bias that keeps you stuck—and broke. You’ll learn how the Endowment Effect tricks your brain into overvaluing what you already have, from old clothes to dead-end jobs, and how to break free from it. From college majors and relationships you’ve outgrown, to why loss feels twice as painful as gain, this one’s all about letting go of what no longer serves you so you can make room for what does.⏰ TIMESTAMPS0:00 The cognitive bias keeping you broke0:47 The coffee mug experiment explained3:10 Why we overvalue what’s already ours6:00 How attachment blocks growth8:10 Call to action: would you choose it again today?🎙️ PODCAST LINKSSpotify: https://urlgeni.us/spotify/fiobrospodcastApple Podcasts: https://urlgeni.us/applepodcast/fiobrospodcast🧘 FREE MEDITATION COURSELearn to meditate in 5 days, 100% free: fiobros.com/meditate🤝 SUPPORT US ON PATREONIf you find our content helpful & want to support us on our creator journey, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/FioBros📱 FOLLOW US ON IGinstagram.com/fiobros
