In March 2023, the biggest US bank failure since the 2008 global financial crisis happened as Silicon Valley Bank, a major lender to the tech industry collapsed from a bank run.

While healthcare professionals top the list of highest-paid occupations in the US with median salaries of $208,000 per year, research shows that physician burnout rate is at an all-time high. Overworked and stretched thin, some doctors end up disengaged from their careers and are looking for alternative ways to earn income so that they can gain back time for themselves and for things that matter most. This is true for many busy, career-oriented individuals across professions who are losing control of their lives and their time and have become enslaved to their jobs and duties.   Dr. Nancy Huynh of Clear Vision Investing joins us today to talk in detail about this predicament that many of her colleagues are facing. She believes that one of the ways to support professionals and fight burnout is to create income streams from passive investments.

While we set life goals and business objectives to achieve success, it is our behaviors and ultimately the habits that we form that help us to get there. The consistent, repeated behavior that becomes habits are the small, steady steps that will take us to success. Habits shape who we are - our attitudes, actions, decision-making, and other aspects of our lives. So, it is crucial to build good habits if we want to make a positive transformation in our lives.    We are joined in this episode by behavioral science expert Samuel Salzer to help us understand the science of behavior and the power of building positive habits in helping us achieve success in whatever goal we've set. Because forming positive habits isn't always easy, Samuel gives us critical information on the science of building good habits, how they are formed, the strategies we can apply, and how we can set ourselves up for success by starting small. Let's begin our journey of transformation from “thoughtful to thoughtless” and ultimately, to success!   Key Points from This Episode: Samuel's backstory and upbringing What's the catalyst that led to Samuel's interest in behavioral economics while at the university in Australia?

Why it is valuable to take inventory of your current habits if you want to change or build new ones. Cornerstone habits that can give investors one of their highest ROIs. Samuel answers the Rare-Air Questionnaire.   Tweetables:   “Intentions are not the same as actions.” - Samuel Salzer   “Try to make the world better one good habit at a time.” - Samuel Salzer   “The basic formula for behavioral science is the person plus situation equals behavior.” - Samuel Salzer   “Habit is the behavior done automatically.” - Samuel Salzer    “Everyone is different and every situation is different.

As we age and gain new experiences, our brain changes and it becomes evident that we can't hold every piece of information and knowledge that we encounter at all times. More often, we only retain information that is immediately useful or relevant to our present needs. But, we also want to remember crucial information that we've read today at a time in the future when it is needed, right?   In this episode, CTPO, speaker, author, MIT instructor Mark Herschberg and I discuss this topic in more detail. As an author faced with the challenge of readers' recall and retention, Mark created an app called Brain Bump designed to help users remember information, data, and materials from books, blogs, podcasts, classes, talks, and other resources whenever they are needed. If you are in the business of investing, or in any business for that matter, you'll need access to as much information as you can to run your business efficiently and to have meaningful engagement with clients and investors. Listen until the end and you'll learn invaluable tips to protect yourself and your business from cyberattacks.   Key Points from This Episode: What makes 21st-century learning different? Why did Mark create the Brain Bump app? Why do most people not retain what they read? How does the technique of “spaced repetition” help retain information? The two ways when most people need information. Mark discusses the Brain Bump app and how it helps users access information when they need them. How can we use media channels more efficiently? Where can the Brain Bump app be downloaded? Mark talks about cybersecurity and the persistent threat of cyberattacks. Measures that companies, businesses, and individuals should take to protect against cyberattacks. Safety tips against bank fraud or wire fraud.   Tweetables: “We live in the most abundant time in human history with regard to sharing information, and sharing perspectives and thoughts.”  - Tyler Chesser   “Even when a reader reads a book, a business book, a self-help book, something with advice, say, wow, there's great advice here. And then you forget it two weeks later. You forget 90%-95% of it. That is a problem. And so there's a problem for the author and a problem for the reader.” - Mark Herschberg   “Media is traditionally linear. We listen to this episode, front to back, first to last. We read a book from first to last. We watch a TV show from start to finish. Exceptions are encyclopedias or dictionaries, you generally don't read that first page to last, you jump in, you get what you need, and you leave. More of our media will shift in this direction.” - Mark Herschberg   “By chopping up the content from an episode, from a book and putting it in this nonlinear order, we make it more relevant. It's like a "choose your own adventure" that you grab what is right for you.” - Mark Herschberg   “The teacher is who learns the most.” - Tyler Chesser   “For any company or individual, it's not a matter of “if” but “when” you run into a cybersecurity issue.” - Mark Herschberg “You will be attacked, you will be hacked.
