Brian and Jeremiah pull back the curtain on what’s really driving the markets—and investors themselves. From the emotional highs of stock speculation to the discipline required for sound planning, they explore why behavior often matters more than economic headlines. The guys unpack how market optimism and consumer frustration can coexist, what it means when valuations outpace fundamentals, and why following “the herd” can lead to regret. They also dive into practical, real-world planning topics: a listener’s question about COBRA vs. ACA health insurance, LLC deductions, and tax-smart strategies for the self-employed. Finally, they tackle risk from a new angle—how to see it not as something to fear, but as something to understand and manage. It’s a blend of market analysis, financial insight, and straight talk about the psychology behind money decisions.  Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Brian Wiley & Jeremiah Bates ————————————————————— SPONSORS:   Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com   Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com   Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

This week, Brian and Jeremiah unpack one of the biggest forces shaping today’s markets—fear. They talk about how investor emotions can cloud judgment, why so many people are sitting in cash despite record market highs, and what “waiting for the right time” actually costs over years or even decades. They also dig into the Fed’s latest comments, interest rate expectations, and how inflation psychology keeps consumers—and investors—on edge. Plus, listener stories about retirement regret and post-pandemic investing lessons prove one thing: discipline beats drama every time.
