Summary

Why does personal finance feel so stressful—even when we’re wealthier than ever? Tarun Ramadorai joins Guy Kawasaki to explain why the system isn’t just confusing, but often rigged against ordinary people. Tarun is a finance professor and co-author of the new book Fixed: Why Personal Finance Is Broken and How to Make It Work for Everyone. He breaks down why smart people make terrible money decisions, how markets exploit human bias, and why financial literacy alone isn’t enough. In this conversation, Tarun unpacks the biggest mistakes people make with investing, mortgages, retirement savings, and debt—and what actually works instead. From index funds and emergency savings to crypto hype and “nudges” that backfire, this episode offers clear thinking in a world full of financial noise. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.
