13. Exiting and Investing Can Eat You Alive - Know Your Worth and Risk Management Focus, with Richard Smith

The digital economy is leaving retail (everyday) investors in the dust, but that doesn’t have to be you. Join host Jim Barnish and entrepreneur Richard Smith as they discuss what drives the financial markets, and how you can build your own wealth instead of someone else's.

Learn about the pitfalls of human behavior in investing as it shapes how we act when we see a market falling vs. a market rising. Our fear of losing and missing out is a powerful motivator that big market players take advantage of. How would we act differently if we had better information about our risk vs. reward ratio while investing? What tools and methodologies do institutional investors use that give them an advantage over retail investors?

With a PhD in engineering and 15 years experience building his own company before an 8-figure exit, Richard Smith shares what he learned about real value, creativity, and organic growth’s importance in building a business. Discover the risk management mindset he is building through the RiskSmith app to help the average investor build wealth and transform their life.
