NGPF Podcast: Tim Talks Behavioral Finance and Investing with Daniel Crosby
If you love to learn about behavioral finance and how it can make you a better investor, then you will enjoy my recent conversation with Daniel Crosby. We delve into his early years and learn that Daniel grew up in a financially knowledgable family where his father referred to “debt” as that “d-word.” Daniel sees the world of finance through multiple lenses, given his background as a psychologist, financial advisor and author. We will go into detail about his latest, The Laws of Wealth: Psychology and the Secret to Investing Success, in which Daniel not only provides excellent advice but does it in an engaging way. I enjoyed it and hope you will too!

About the Author
Tim Ranzetta
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
