In this episode, we are joined by Ben Carlson, Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and author of Risk & Reward, for a wide-ranging conversation about market history, investor psychology, and the realities of long-term investing. Ben brings his trademark blend of data-driven thinking and plainspoken storytelling to topics like market crashes, inflation, diversification, and why investors are so tempted to time the market. We explore the lessons from Japan's historic asset bubble, the lingering impact of the Great Depression, and why diversification remains one of the few true free lunches in investing. Ben also explains the difference between volatility and risk, why the stock market is not the economy, and how investor behavior—not market performance—is often the biggest determinant of success. Along the way, we discuss inflation hedges, lost decades, speculative behavior, and the psychological challenge of staying invested through inevitable downturns.

Josh Brown and Michael Batnick on Ritholtz, Authenticity, and Why Risk Finds a WayWhat began as a funny observation from Boyar Value Group founder Mark Boyar — that Josh Brown and Michael Batnick are “the Howard Stern of financial podcasting” — turned out to be a pretty good way into the real story.Josh and Michael built an audience by being candid, irreverent, and willing to say things much of traditional Wall Street would rather leave unsaid. But underneath the humor is a serious wealth-management business, a disciplined investment process, and a culture that has become a magnet for clients and talent.In this wide-ranging episode, Jonathan Boyar sits down with Josh and Michael to discuss Ritholtz Wealth Management, their highly successful Compound and Friends podcast, the dangers of making stock picks public, how to build a financial brand today, Porterhouse, and why — in markets as in business — risk finds a way.Key Topics Covered:Authenticity as a Competitive AdvantageHow Josh and Michael built trust by being candid, irreverent, self-aware, and willing to sound different from traditional Wall Street.The Real Business Behind RitholtzWhy Ritholtz is not simply a content platform attached to an RIA, but a serious wealth-management firm that also creates influential financial media.Building a Talent and Client FlywheelHow Ritholtz's audience has helped attract clients, advisors, employees, and like-minded people who already understand the firm's culture.Why Wealth Management Became One of Wall Street's Best BusinessesJosh explains why the RIA model has become such a powerful business and how wealth management has reshaped financial media and Wall Street.Could Ritholtz Be Built Again Today?Josh and Michael discuss whether their content-driven model could be replicated now, and why LinkedIn, YouTube, and owning a niche matter more than ever.CNBC, Media, and Market CommentaryHow Josh prepares for CNBC and how Michael has helped sharpen that process.The Danger of Public Stock PicksMichael draws on lessons from his book Big Mistakes to explain why publicly discussing investments can make it harder to change your mind.Porterhouse and Rules-Based InvestingJosh and Michael discuss Ritholtz's new Porterhouse equity strategy and why systematic rules can help investors avoid emotional mistakes.Why Risk Finds a WayA discussion of market leadership, momentum, and the idea that new opportunities tend to emerge even after difficult periods.Unlocking Investment Opportunities Since 1975At the Boyar Value Group, we've dedicated nearly five decades to the pursuit of value on behalf of our clients.

The financial news cycle moves fast, but the fundamentals of investing have not changed. Melissa Joy, CFP® sits down with Ben Carlson, Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and author of five books including his latest, Risk and Reward, to explore what history actually teaches us about markets, human nature, and the psychology behind smart long-term investing. Ben brings equal parts data and storytelling to make the case that understanding the past is one of the most underrated tools an investor can have.From the inflationary spiral of the 1970s to lost decades and the dot-com aftermath, Ben and Melissa walk through the market cycles that shaped today's investing environment and what those periods reveal about our own tendencies as investors. They also dig into the coming wave of wealth transfer, why women will increasingly control the bulk of financial assets, and why the financial advice industry is not yet ready for it.What You'll LearnWhy studying financial history matters and what it reveals about the range of possible outcomesHow inflation in the 1970s shaped investor psychology in ways that still resonate todayWhat the lost decade of 2000 to 2010 teaches about diversification and why that lesson keeps getting forgottenWhy simplicity in a financial plan beats complexity almost every timeHow to build a portfolio durable enough to survive a wide range of outcomes without requiring you to predict the futureWhy preparation is more valuable than prediction when it comes to investingWhat the great wealth transfer means for women and why the financial advice industry needs to catch upHow human nature is the one investing variable that never changes across market cyclesWhat Ben's list of 20 investing beliefs reveals about discipline, self-awareness, and behavioral financeWhy the best financial plan is the one you can actually stick with through difficult marketsAbout Ben CarlsonBen Carlson is the Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and the author of five books on investing and personal finance, including his latest, Risk and Reward.

Ben is Director at Ritholtz Wealth Management in the US, author of Risk and Reward (Harriman House, May 2026), and one of the most widely read financial writers working today. He's spent his career studying every major market crash in modern history: the Great Depression, Japan's lost decades, the dot-com bust, 2008 and what they actually mean for long-term investors. In this episode, Paddy and Ben talk about Ben's new Book: They cover the yin and yang of Risk and Reward Why globally diversified investors still came out ahead from financial crises The three dimensions of risk tolerance (willingness, need, and ability) How to think about drawdown and bucketing, inflation psychology, and the only benchmark that actually matters for someone approaching retirement. Ben's new book Risk and Reward is available now in Kindle, paperback, and audiobook (read by Ben himself) from Harriman House.
