Millionaire Mindcast The Test Most Investors Will Fail In This Next Market Crash | Wise Investor Segment
In this episode of the Wise Investor Segment, host Matty A breaks down the silent killer that destroys more wealth than bad deals and bad markets combined: ego.
Through the tale of two contrasting investors during the 2008 financial crash, Matty A reveals why the individuals who survived and thrived weren't necessarily the smartest or most well-connected. The true survivors were those willing to check their egos at the door, downsize their lifestyle, cut overhead, and get liquid early before they were forced to do so .
