Skipping Sunday school to explore the dark corners of his childhood church, seeking to prove the paranormal encounters he would overhear from the church elders, Jason Faust started young on his quest for answers to the supernatural. A search that would eventually lead him into the world of paranormal investigation, and finally into people's homes, who want nothing more than to live in peace away from the spirits that torment them. Today we hear Jason's story of going from being a curious child to an interested adult on a mission to help the paranormally affected.

Jason Andrews shares how his debilitating anxiety was healed instantaneously via hypnosis and how it inspired him to learn hypnosis to help others. For complete show notes, visit http://youcuredwhat.com/podcast/jasonandrewsJason Andrews is a talented online commentator, coach, and hypnotist. As a young man, he healed from his own anxiety and depression via hypnosis. After he was able to beat these conditions, he decided to learn hypnosis himself so that he could help others. He now helps others overcome social anxiety, achieve habit change, clear emotional backlogs, and more. Find out more about Jason at JasonAndrewsHypnosis.com [0:55] Joe plugs his DiseaseReversals.com project; a website of healing. [1:55] Joe introduces Jason. [2:50] Jason gives some background on his life, especially as it relates to the anxiety and depression he suffered from at a young age. His mother and her father both had suffered from anxiety and depression. Jason suffered from social anxiety. [4:20] Around the age of 15, Jason got caught up in a religious group. That group was extraordinarily skilled at persuasion and getting people to change their minds. He said this group helped many people, but it made his anxiety and depression much worse. He even suffered panic attacks. [6:00] Jason's doctor put him on anti-depressant drugs. He says it made him a lot dumber. And then his highs weren't high and his lows weren't low. [6:45] Jason tried SSRIs (think: Prozac, Zoloft, etc.). It killed his sex drive. He tried all sorts of other medications too. [8:20] Jason read Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins. [9:10] Jason learned from Ross Jeffries. Jeffries used hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to seduce women as a pick-up artist. [10:00] Jason gives a brief overview of what hypnosis is and what NLP is. [10:40] Jason worked with a mentor. [12:10] Jason's mentor, during a chat, told a story about pigs. And in the story, a big fat ugly sow was slaughtered. And at that moment, Jason's anxiety was gone forever. And Jason felt it all over his body. [14:00] This made Jason want to go all in on hypnosis. He says many movies, including the newest Star Wars movies, are full of hypnosis. Christopher Nolan movies are also hypnotic. [16:00] As Jason's anxiety was instantaneously healed, his muscles were twitching. It may have been a release of kinetically stored memories. [18:20] Jason briefly got into the Pickup Artist world. [19:00] Jason continued working with his mentor, who helped him reverse more programming he had received from the aforementioned religious group. [20:20] What type of results has Jason had working with family, friends, and paid clients (Jason works as a hypnotist and coach)? [21:40] Jason describes a client who he helped overcome social anxiety. But when he got to the end (his anxiety had "evaporated"), the client said: "By the way, how do you talk to people?" He had never learned to really talk to people because he had always been so focused on his own social anxiety. [23:50] Jason describes how he runs hypnosis sessions. [25:00] Jason provides some details on how to bring someone into a hypnotic trance. [26:05] Jason can now help people even without bringing them into a formal trance. "I don't know what just happened, but I feel better about it." [29:10] Jason shares remarkable "downstream effects" where fixing one issue fixes a bunch of peripheral issues: for instance, they might come in to relieve their overwhelm (and get help in limiting their social media usage) and they end up being able to breathe better. Or their back pain goes away. [32:00] Jason discusses the deep connection between the mind and body, and how perhaps we sometimes store traumas or stresses in the body. He says there are theories that the body may be part of the mind as opposed to being the other way around. [37:50] "This is an example of literally working with someone's metaphor but changing their actual reality. And that's really what hypnosis is all about." [40:30] Jason talks about trying to frame conversations under perspective that your conscious mind and subconscious mind are on the same team. [42:00] What is Jason's perspective on hypnosis as it relates to people thinking they are not suggestible? And as it relates to people being worried that the hypnotist will program something harmful into them? [48:30] Does Jason consider himself cured of depression and anxiety? [51:30] Now that he has improved his health, what's one thing Jason enjoys doing that he couldn't do before? [51:50] "The anxiety and depression I had were sort of the crippling kind, not the annoying kind." [53:15] Where can Jason be found online? His website is JasonAndrewsHypnosis.com. And his Twitter is: http://twitter.com/PersuasionRisng

(13:31) Jason mentions that in this business, the premium is the name of the game. (15:19) What does Jason feel when an agent is doing better than him? (17:45) Jason mentions that communication is the biggest crux with regards to broker-agent relationships. (18:02) Jason shares that it’s becoming difficult in the healthcare sector if an agent thinks that they can pin two brokers against each other. (20:04) Jason Cass shares that brokers have hate against agents because they don't do what they’re supposed to do. They don't get signed apps and don't get all the supplements signed. (21:3) Jason shares that early on in his career, he learned that it’s better to come out with the best pricing and the best coverage every time. (23:51) What are the actions that Jason has seen from agents that prevent them from getting the best price or getting the fastest service? (25:25) Jason mentions that the more we know about our accounts, the better outcome we're going to have. (25:51) Jason Cass shares the conversation he had with Travis. (26:38) Jason Cass mentions that whenever they write a huge piece of business, they write a Statement of Operations, and it’s one of the points that they teach to their producers.

(34:35) Jason shares that he likes the fact that agents have good relationships with the insureds and he cares about the insured’s because he cares about his agents and the agents care about the end user. (35:01) Jason mentions that he’s been in the business for almost 10 years, and he thinks that all his knowledge and expertise, and all the personal relationships that he built, would be lost if he diverts to the retail sector.

(36:53) Jason mentions that he’s reading a book entitled The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino. (37:19) What are Jason’s thoughts about agents having a misconception about relationships? (40:24) Jason shares one of the reasons why he joined Burns & Wilcox. (40:53) Key Quotes: “The only reason I'm in the position where I'm in right now is because of all the personal relationships I've developed over the years, and you know, you really can't force things like that, they just happen by chance.” - Jason Quaglia “We're telling people, now's the time to get in because this market keeps getting harder and harder. We've got the market access and the relationships if you don't get in with us now, you know, when things hit the fan, we probably may not have the time. So it's good even if you don't actively have a business to send your broker, it's good to keep the lines of communication open.” - Jason Quaglia “I always go out to the market because I see so much volume. I know who's coming in where and pricing and what jurisdictions, and sometimes I'll even send it out just to block those markets if I'm unsure, but I'm always bringing my best coverage and the best pricing when I can.” - Jason Quaglia “A knock on the big brokerage shops is that a lot of big shops don't like dealing with little guys. But you know, I love it. I come from a small business family, I don't care how big your agency is, I don't care how big your book of business is. Once again, I like to win. If you've got a viable account that I can do something with, I'm going to go to bat for you.” - Jason Quaglia “The interesting thing is I’ve developed such a network and expertise where I am, that I would just be throwing all that down the tubes. You know, I think the first thing is, you may say I'm wrong but I think agents make more money than us guys in the middle.” - Jason Quaglia   Resources Mentioned:   Agency Intelligence Reach out to Jason Cass Jason Quaglia Linkedin Burns & Wilcox The Greatest Salesman in the World Advertisers: Veruna ePay Policy Agency Performance Partners

In this episode of Explain This Book To Me podcast, host Josh Lipstone continues his conversation with Jason Cass, author of Customer Service Is Just Foreplay: The Modern Customer Experience Will Separate You From Your Competition. Josh and Jason talk about the second half of the Infographic from the book.  They discuss how to propose, not quote, the sale through technology and automation.  How to onboard and service your new clients with welcome packets, self-service options, mobile app, email, and social media and what to do to cross sell and refer more business to your agency. Episode Highlights:   What is the one thing from the book that people agree with Jason about, and what is the one thing about the book that people disagree with him about? (1:44) Jason says that he writes blogs whenever he goes camping. (2:45) Jason mentions that he’s writing about API versus RPA. (2:53) Jason believes that RPA will turn into a robotic process. (3:17)  Jason thinks that many people get upset because they pride their whole life on customer service, and society has changed it to customer experience. (4:17) Jason says that the main pushback he’s getting is that people don't want to change. (5:53) Jason says that customer experience is a huge part of the great separator.

(7:46) Are agents moving in the direction of being able to replace insurance companies with any form of mechanism or will there always be insurance companies around, but fewer insurance companies? (10:02) Jason says the people have figured out that in certain industries a middleman is not necessary, but sometimes it is. (12:09) Jason believes that agents will eliminate each other, and employees will eliminate you quicker than your outside competition will. (13:30) Josh shares that we should eliminate the word quote or quoting from our vocabulary. Instead, we use the word proposal or proposing because quoting is when you give someone a price, and as independent insurance agents need to do is propose. (14:07)  How has the process changed and how should that process be changing, for our loyal listeners? (16:35) Jason says that most agents don’t do a process, it means that they don't do the DocuSign or the video. (23:01) Jason talks about the futuristic show that he used to watch. (24:10) Jason shares that the best people he’s ever seen are the Hawksoft users, because of their incredible reports. (26:53)  Does Jason believe that an agency should find the best insurance for a prospect regardless of how it impacts the agency? (28:09) Jason says that the biggest incentives to write business are the ones that are costing you the most on service. (31:07) Jason mentions the rule of his agency, “Everything has to be even before we think about us.”. (32:26) Jason says that in hyper niche-focused commercial lines, he learned that you can control almost all of the service card. (43:34) Josh says that technology should not replace relationships, instead it should enhance relationships. (48:45) Jason shares that those who are using automation are much more profitable, but sometimes they use automation to be profitable. (49:18) Jason explains the four models. (49:45) Josh talks about Claudia McLean and the longevity of her success. (50:33) Josh mentions that AMS is the lifeblood of the agency. (51:13) Does Jason want the AMS to do it all or does he want it to work with other things too? (52:48) What is a referral, do agents receive referrals? (1:05:27) Jason explains the significance of balance sheets. (1:13:58) Jason explains how NPS is applied to agencies. (1:19:08) Jason says that reputation score is more effective than a credit score. (1:19:26) What is Jason’s opinion on people who use the phrase “the highest compliment I could ever receive is a referral” from you? (1:17:29) Jason mentions that every touchpoint with your customers plays a huge role in reinforcing your brand's image. (1:21:52) Jason believes that commercial referral is awesome. (1:23:30) Jason mentions that he used ActiveCampaign outside of Neon. (1:24:42) Key Quotes: “We’re talking about customer experience… It's not just so much creating it for the customer, but it also creates less stress, less hectic, and less chaos inside the office. Because we know who we're serving to create that customer experience.” - Jason Cass “When I hear more sales, I hear productivity. When I hear less time, I think of efficiency... If we can all figure out how to produce more and spend less time doing it or spend less time servicing it, I think that's what we would all do.” - Jason Cass “You have to understand that sometimes when someone calls you, that doesn't necessarily mean that they want to talk to you...

Jason Sousa, health coach and CEO of Solas Light, shares his experience of overcoming health adversity from Lyme Disease. For complete show notes, visit http://youcuredwhat.com/podcast/jason[1:00] Jason is a functional medicine health coach and the founder and CEO of Solas Light. [1:55] Jason grew up close to Lyme, CT. [2:40] Jason got Lyme twice. He got it once in 2007 and once in 2013. [3:45] Jason’s medical providers initially just followed the standard approach and gave him antibiotics for Lyme. [4:50] Jason was having awful symptoms of Lyme: nerve pain, couldn’t get out of bed, could barely walk, serious pain in stomach, liver, and kidney. [6:00] Lyme is an infection (from a tick bite); once you have it, you will always test positive for Lyme; it’s in your blood. It’s like having a parasite in the body. [6:25] What alternatives (to standard conventional medicine approach of antibiotics) did Jason try for Lyme? [7:20] Some of the alternative healing modalities were herbs, sound therapy, light therapy, high-dose Vitamin C, and even crystals. The (retired) doctor who helped him with these treatments is Arthur Gertler. [8:20] Light helped his body heal, which is why he started Solas Light. [9:20] Jason sat/laid on mats that pulsed specific electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to help combat Lyme and found this beneficial. Some studies indicate that certain frequencies can actually kill parasites and regulate blood flow and other processes. [10:25] Certain sound wavelengths can be beneficial. They were healing for Jason. [12:35] Jason started feeling better within 6-8 weeks of doing the “alternative” treatments. [14:10] Jason says his sickness ultimately put his life onto a better path. [14:50] Jason was amazed that there were not more opportunities available to use light therapy which had been so beneficial for him. 15-20 minutes a day reduced his inflammation and improved his mood. To provide this type of technology: that’s what motivated him to start Solas Light. [17:10] Jason describes a red light therapy session and goes into some of the ways red light therapy works in the body (through helping body’s cells’ mitochondria function properly). [18:50] Red light boosts cellular ATP production (cellular energy). [21:10] Humans are natural beings that need light. [22:30] Red light therapy typically operate on two wavelengths. [23:50] Jason’s testosterone used to be low. Red light therapy took his free testosterone levels from 300-400 levels up to nearly 1000. [25:55] Jason’s dad saw a lot of benefit for hair growth from red light therapy. [27:55] Jason describes the subjective improvements in energy and libido from the increased testosterone he’s gained from red light therapy. [29:40] Jason stands in front of his red light for about 15 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week. 5 minutes of that he stands naked to get the testosterone boost (using the red light wavelength). [31:40] Jason shares one of his favorite customer stories: the customer used red light to improve back and nerve pain. And his daughter used red light therapy to overcome horrible menstrual cramps. [34:55] Did diet make any impact on Jason’s health? [37:20] How did crystals factor into Jason’s healing Lyme treatments? His mood “just changed” [39:55] Jason gives some detail on blue light and how excessive amounts of it are likely harmful for health. [47:35] “How human can you be during the day?” [48:10] Jason recommends his company’s blog for more info on red light and also recommends searching “red light” at Science Direct. [50:55] Does Jason consider himself cured of Lyme Disease? [52:55] Jason considers socialization with family, love, light, sound, good food, good water, good relationships good ways to make deposits to your own health. [53:25] Now that Jason has improved his health, what is one thing Jason enjoys doing that he couldn’t do before? [54:25] Jason’s company’s site is solaslight.com (use code 10OFF for 10% off) and his health coach website is healthopsy.com

Jason credits FM Charles Schulien, NM Corbin Yu and NM Jeremy Kane with helping him immeasurably along the way. The video from GM Vidit Gujrath regarding chess improvement can be seen here. Jason is a fan of the books of GMs Mikhail Marin and Boris Gelfand, and also Seven Deadly Chess Sins by GM Jonathan Rowson 18:00-  A listener, new to chess, who is 62 year old and recently retired, is eager to devote 20 hours a week to chess books and chess improvement. How should he spend his time, what resources should he utilize? How good can he become? In Jason's response, he mentions that he is a strong proponent of John Nunn’s chess books. I chimed in and mentioned that the listener might want to pursue something more systematic to improve, like the acclaimed series from GM Arthur Yusopov , The Steps Series, or the Susan Polgar series for those brand new to chess. 29:00- As is a regular feature on the Adult Improver Series, we launch into a discussion of how useful various attempts at improving one’s chess games are. Jason gives his opinion on the importance of having a coach, as well as the relative merits of analyzing one’s games, solving tactics, studying endgames, playing speed chess, learning openings,  exercising, and more. Jason benefited from taking lessons with GMs Melik Khachiyan and Sabino Brunello and from playing training games with IM Craig Hilby. One can always look for coaches on the LiChess coaches page 39:00-  Jason answers a question from a Patreon supporter of the podcast,  about whether its important to set up a board when solving tactics. The US Championship summary by Jennifer Yu that I mentioned can be read here. 46:00- How should one approach openings when you live in a community where you play the same players repeatedly? 51:00- Jason tells a fun story related to opening preparation, of a game between GM  James Tarjan and recent Perpetual Chess guest GM Alex Ipatov. Check out the game here. Mr. Moonmaster 9000 asks for some clarification about something Jason wrote: Does Jason believe it's impossible for him to become a super GM? 1:02- A 3 minute digression into the intersection of  the NBA and professional chess. Sorry NBA haters! 1:06- Back on track, Jason talks about the importance of endgame studies in helping your chess game. Jason is a big fan of the book 100 Endgames You Must Know He also mentions enjoying the Yusupov and Dvoretsky features on chess24.com 1:10- Jason discusses his coaching philosophy, and shares some methods that he has used to help his student, Gavin Zhang. He emphasizes the importance of studying the classics, and identifying and working on one’s strongest point and one’s weakest points in chess. 1:19- We discuss books on endgames and endgame studies. Jason mentions: Capablanca’s Best Chess Endings by Irving Chernev Endgame Training by Bernd Rosen Endgame challenge by John Nunn Studies for the Practical Player by Mark Dvoretsky One Pawn Saves the Day by Sergei Tkachenko Under the Surface by Jan Markos Chess Structures by Mauricio Flores Rios Grandmaster Repetoire: 1.

028: NSFW/18+/Strong Sexual Content. What is the Podcast Cabal? We root around deep in this conspiracy theory. Has Blake from Noise Pollution podcast actually uncovered some truth about this group? Should we keep obeying the instructions sent to us anonymously by The Podcast Cabal? Does Blunt Mommy embed secret messages in her belching frequencies? Is Brian Dunning from Skeptoid investigating the Cabal as well? Does Jason from Shit Happens when you Party Naked podcast love chocolate milk? Is Steve from Baked and Awake podcast going to help Blake out with his investigation and get Blake back on course to clear our name? Will Blizzard the Wizard come and save Blake from his cognitive catnap? Will Pandy forgive me for pushing back the release of his Take That episode? Will Mike Peacock from On the Edge finally sort himself out and join an awesome cult like Heaven's Gate? Will Ben from Small Town Mentality podcast swallow my eggnog? Is this episode just too absurd and therefore actually distracts from legitimate researchers into the real Podcast Cabal? Is Blake legitimate or has he gone a little off? If I'm a paid shill for the Cabal, how much are they giving me? $1000 for each podcast we destroy? That would be sweet! Hopefully the real Podcast Cabal will contact me and I can get to work cleaning up the indy podcast scene lol. Thanks to Spunk Lube, the only lube we use at Man Brain podcast. Go to www.manbrainpodcast.com for all the links. Thank you Fuck you for listening. If you're part of the Resistance against the Podcast Cabal, then come at me bro. Might be fun to throw down and shake up the podcaster circle jerks and encourage some podcasters to escape the jerks and go hunting for actual fans rather than only other podcasters listening to their shows. Other podcasters aren't fans! They are peers. If you have real fans, they may not like the other podcasters in your crew. What to do to keep fueling your giant ego? What to do?

Kriss and Dpalm are back with another Character Corner episode. This time its Part 1 of a two part series on the Robins. We’ve covered most of the Robins already in previous episodes like Batman's Rogue Gallery, Tim Drake, all the Batgirl episodes and our three part Batman series. But we’ve never really dug deep into each of the Robins and gone into their differences and how they tell the larger story of Batman. We’re starting with Dick Grayson and Jason Todd not just because chronologically they were the first two robins but also because they represent the larger issues we’ve seen with Batman & DC Comics when they get translated to movies and TV. Everyone knows Dick Grayson is the first Robin but the reality is, by the time most of us were reading comics and aware of Batman, Grayson was far removed from being Robin. Same could be said for Jason Todd. Jason was first introduced in 1983 and was killed off in 1988. The first two Robins came and went before most people today were even 10. And that’s where we see DC getting into trouble. The mantle of Robin is almost just as important and divisive as Batman. There isn't another sidekick character in which you have 4-5 drastically different character holding the title and all of them are just about important. Dick, Jason, Tim/Stephanie and Damien. We’re gonna go through each Robin and talk not just about some of their key issues but really dive into how they’re different from each other, and the role they play in Bruce/Batman’s life. First up...the heir & the prodigal son: Richard & Jason. Key Issues: First Appearances  Detective Comics #38 - First appearance of Dick Grayson/Robin   Tales of the Teen Titans #44 - First appearance of Dick Grayson as Nightwing   Batman #357 - First appearance of Jason Todd (Pre-Crisis)   Batman #366 - First appearance of Jason Todd as Robin (Pre-Crisis)   Early Years  Batman Year 3  Batman #436 - 439   Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet - Dick's final test from Batman   Robin Year 1 - Chuck Dixen and goes really well with his Batgirl Year One book   Dark Victory - Sequel to The Long Halloween and retells the origin of Dick Grayson   Enter Jason Todd  Batman #408 - First appearance of Post-Crisis Jason Todd   Batman #410 - Post-Crisis Todd's first appearance as Robin   New Teen Titans vol 2 #20   Nightwing Year One   Batman #416 - Jason & Dick meet for the first time; Bruce admits to why he replaced Grayson   Death of Jason Todd  Batman #422   Batman #424 - Does Jason kill Garzonas or not?   Batman #426 - 429 - Death in the Family   Batman Prodigal  Batman #512   Shadow of the Bat #32       Detective Comics #679   Robin Vol 4 #11   Batman #513   Shadow of the Bat #33   Detective Comics #680   Robin Vol 4 #12   Batman #514   Shadow of the Bat #34   Detective Comics #681   Robin Vol 4 #13   Nightwing series   Return of Jason Todd  Red Hood The Lost Days   Under the Red Hood Battle for the Cowl Batman & Robin Volume One Volume Two Volume Three Grayson Red Hood and the Outlaws (Rebirth) Other Batman Related Episodes: Batman Rogue Gallery: https://www.mtrnetwork.net/character-corner/dc/character-corner-rogue-war-part-1-batman-villains/   Tim Drake: https://www.mtrnetwork.net/character-corner/dc/character-corner-tim-drake-the-detective/    Batgirl  Barbara Gordan and Stephanie Brown: https://www.mtrnetwork.net/character-corner/dc/batgirl-barbara-gordon-stephanie-brown-character-corner/   Cassandra Cain & Kate Kane: https://www.mtrnetwork.net/character-corner/dc/heir-bat-cassandra-cain-kate-kane/   Batman  Batman Part 1: https://www.

How Jason made his way into the world of VC from the world of journalism? What were his biggest takeaways from seeing the boom and bust cycle of 2001 and 2008? 2.) Why does Jason believe that moats matter as much, if not more than brand today? How can founders look to create the strongest form of defensibility? How does Jason analyze the 2 paths for consumer businesses today; raise large amounts of capital and buy growth or raise little, grow slowly, understand unit economics and channels over time? Does Jason think we will see a graveyard of immensely funded consumer businesses? 3.) How does Jason view paid acquisition today? Does Jason agree with Peter Fenton. "there is a lack of free and open distribution in consumer today"? When does Jason believe that consumer founders should really focus on CAC/LTV? What metrics really matter in the early days for consumer? How does Jason analyse acquisition channel mortality? When does he mean when he says, "CAC works, until it does not"? 4.) Jason has said before that "VC is a struggle". What elements does Jason find most challenging? How does Jason deal witht he shit hit the fan moments as a VC? Can VCs in this hyper-competitive world be openly vulnerable in Jason's eyes? How has Jason seen his approach to hard and challenging situations in VC develop over time? 5.) Does Jason believe we are in a consolidatory environment today or will we see the next generation of mega consumer brands being built? When investing, does Jason ask, who is the potential acquirer? Why? What multiple is achievable? Would Jason agree with Kirsten Green that "Amazon does more to make the market than destroy it"? How does Amazon affect Jason's investment philosophy and approach?

In Episode 52, we welcome Jason Hsu, joining us all the way from Taipei. We start with a bit of background on Jason and his company, Rayliant, which is a spinoff off Research Affiliates. Listeners might recognize the name Research Affiliates, as it was co-founded with another Meb Faber Show guest, Rob Arnott. Rob and Jason decided to spin off Rayliant to enable Jason to focus on his investing passion, China. As the conversation naturally led to China, Meb decides to run with it. He brings up how a prior Meb Faber Show guest (Steve Sjuggerud) is incredibly bullish on China. Meb asks Jason for a “boots on the ground” perspective. Does Jason agree with Steve’s bullishness? In short, absolutely. Jason has two hypotheses as he evaluates China: One, as China continues moving toward, and eventually becomes, the world’s largest economy, investors will realize they’re underexposed to this market. Given this, there will be major rebalancing into Chinese equities; Two, Jason tells us that approximately 80-90% of Chinese daily trade flow comes from retail investors (here in the U.S. this percentage is significantly lower). This means more market inefficiencies, so the probability for “alpha” for managers is greater. Both these factors make China a market that should be on investors’ radars. The China discussion dovetails into investor sentiment on China, and how emotionally-driven we are, which typically ends in underperformance. This leads Meb to ask pointedly, why are people so bad at investing? Jason gives us his thoughts, which tend to reduce to “flow chases short-term performance.” He goes on to say how oftentimes, investors get crushed as they buy in at the peak of a style or asset class cycle. Meb asks how investors should combat this. Jason has a classic response: “Whatever you think is a good idea… do the opposite and you’re going to be more successful.” The reason this tends to work is because “This is a market where the average human tendencies are precisely the wrong thing to do.” This prompts Meb to bring up a study idea he wants a listener to undertake for him regarding historical news headlines and investor sentiment. Listen for the details. Anyone up for the project? The guys stay on the topic of behavioral challenges, with Meb pointing toward one of Jason’s papers about how investors prefer complexity to simplicity. It’s a fascinating look into our wiring as humans and why investing is such a challenge for us. Next, the guys move on to smart beta and factor investing. Meb asks Jason to provide an overview, and any main takeaways for investors implementing smart beta strategies. Jason gives us his thoughts, including revealing his personal favorite factor: value. This leads the guys into a discussion of Warren Buffett and his true alpha being his ability to stick to his style and not abandon it at precisely the wrong time, as most of us do. The guys then discuss manager performance and underperformance, and the tendency to always be chasing. There’s far more in this episode: Meb’s “forever fund” idea (which most people he’s discussed it with actually hate)… Why hedge fund lockups and opaqueness can actually be a good thing… The unique “values” which Jason created for Rayliant, and how they’re so different than those of most other money managers… Jason’s most memorable trade… And lastly, his final takeaway for listeners looking for better market performance. What is it? Find out in Episode 52.

The bi-weekly segment of ‘GrownDadTopics’ with Aaron & Jason - they chat from the green room of the Pittsburgh Improv comedy club to talk, vent and yell about this week’s #GrownDadTopic: POKEMON GO Is this the new ‘Chewbacca Mom’ that’s getting under Aaron’s skin? Does Jason download the app for research purposes and change his tune? Also: we invent an augmented reality app that Aaron will absolutely play and is now copywritten so… ‘Holla at cha boi’ Aaron also raves about his awesome birthday present and Kodiak Protein Pancake Mix lol.   Regular guest, Jason Clark, is standup/improv comedian, also the sidekick/scorekeeper on Aaron’s hit live show Comic Wars, from Pittsburgh, PA.

WE BACK. The summer preview quite literally rolls on, at least in Jason's case, since he recorded his portion in the car this week in transit to SEC Media Days. Does Jason, recording in his car on a phone over the ineptly paved and uneven highways of Alabama, still sound better than recording over Indiana internet? Yes, yes it does. You're better than Indiana at something, Alabama! STICK THAT CHEST OUT AND ROLL TIDE. This one is...actually good? Actually GREAT. The teams this week are: --MICHIGAN STATE. A team that somehow feels like they'll be fine by scoring fewer points, playing uglier football, and losing a quarterback whose personality was considered cancerous even by NFL quarterback standards. Then again: when has an experienced backup upperclassman being considered a given at QB ever gone wrong, we ask, when, when in the entire history of say, Florida football has that ever gone wro-- --NC State! They're definitely a football team? They have a pretty good defense? They'll play sort of ineffective offense, but do it quickly? They're in the ACC, and not named Florida State or Clemson, so [bucket of shrug emojis]? --GEORGIA. A preview where we definitely do not say that Kirby Smart is Will Muschamp part 2, and where Jason yells out "ALL DAWGS MATTER" after suggesting you can get an undergraduate degree in conservative talk radio at the University of Georgia. Remember when Grayson Lambert went 24 for 25 against South Carolina, and was going to win the Heisman, and then five months later Mark Richt was coaching Miami? We do. --Louisville! Summary: Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson --TCU. Where when you play Pokemon Go, you find Gary Patterson and you find a Squirtle. We all agree that they're going to go 11-1, which is nothing but doom for TCU. SQUIRTLE WINS.

A shaman healer and Reiki Master, Blaine Rohan brings these talents to bear in his research.  How does a shamanistic healer clean a location?  How does he interact with spirits on the other side?  Does Jason have a spirit animal?  And why am I asking all these questions?!  Find out all this inside of Episode 111

This week, Jason and Josh are joined by not only the GM of IGN.com and the co-host of NVC, but ... REACTION GUY #4 HIMSELF ... Peer Schneider! They talk about how easily a picture can go viral, the current state of our collections, the plight of amiibo over this last year, how LEGO Dimensions is changing the game, why buying bigger houses is a better option than simply not collecting anymore, and why Mega Yarn Yoshi might not make into the household of the GM.   The discussion with Peer was fantastic from so many different angles and perspectives. Be sure to check out his baby, IGN.com, and listen to him every week on the Nintendo Voice Chat podcast!   In the news part of the show, Jason and Josh break down the secret release of a new Disney Infinity starter pack, discuss the new Skylanders animated series, debate whether or not LEGO Dimensions will really talk about the big secrets soon, and the breaking - and somewhat disheartening news - of a retail exclusive amiibo being released on … BLACK FRIDAY.   The #CommunityQuestion polls the fans on whether or not they are getting the Animal Crossing amiibo this Friday, and why or why not. The Inquire THIS! trivia segment is throwback to the early days of amiibo. Does Jason remember the easier days of amiibo or does he get stumped? Also, some more great emails from the community, as always. Thank you all for the love and support!
