Conventional wisdom claims that mixing emotions with financial decisions can lead to poor, even impulsive decisions. But what if we instead viewed emotions as super powers that we can harness to not only make wiser, but more meaningful choices for ourselves and our financial goals? In this episode, we sit down with Brian Portnoy, author and founder of the financial advisor coaching and e-learning platform Shaping Wealth. The lessons on Shaping Wealth apply wisdom from psychology, behavioral science, as well as emotional intelligence to coach financial advisors to be better partners for their clients' financial journeys. In addition to Shaping Wealth, Brian is the author of three books—The Investor's Paradox, The Geometry of Wealth, and How I Invest My Money. Brian also worked as the Director of Investment Education at Virtus Investment Partners, and was Head of Education at Magnetar Capital. Brian holds a PhD from the University of Chicago, as well as a bachelor's from the University of Michigan.

And so from much perspective, I think that's the way I approach it, right or wrong, it's being branded as the health and wellness drug of our generation.” -  Scott GrossmanWelcome back to the To Be Blunt podcast!
