My new favorite!!!!

How have I survived without this show? I love how Katie makes me THINK about the daily decisions I make (or don’t make) and WHY I do what I do! I’m waist deep in listening to the whole back catalog and I’m loving it!

Great Podcast for Improving Decisions

Dr Milkman does a great job bringing on expert guest speakers to present interesting topics related to human behavior as it relates to decision making. The topics are not only good for financial decisions but also good for everyday life.

Amazing show!

This show was recommended to my Behavioral Finance class by our professor so we can learn more about human behaviors even outside the school. As of this writing I have only listened to the first two episodes and they were amazing! I will definitely be listening more as it will not only help me with my course but also in real life.
