Summary
Dr. Adam Link, computer scientist turned CFP joins Chris and Toby to unpack why bad assumptions don't just lead to bad outcomes, they compound them. From 401k matching to tech debt, Monte Carlo simulations to the emotional trap of selling a business you built from scratch, this one connects the dots between financial literacy, process thinking, and the psychology of why we make the choices we do. Equal parts practical and thought-provoking.
