Sharpe Ratio-inspired, this podcast explores ideas to sharpen thinking and improve outcomes ‘per unit of risk’.

If you think deeply, act deliberately, and aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, this is the conversation for you. We will share our views and insights on investing, finance, markets, money, and strategy. Along the way, we bring on interesting people from finance, business, technology, and beyond, those who’ve taken chances, challenged convention, or simply lived in a way that teaches us something. The more perspectives we hear, the sharper our thinking becomes and the better we understand the risks we take.

The goal is simple: to keep our minds and perspectives 'Sharpe'.

  • The Hardest Part of Financial Planning Isn't Saving
    Oct 12 2026

    Sharpe Ratio-inspired, this podcast explores ideas to sharpen thinking and improve outcomes ‘per unit of risk’.

    We discuss one of the most overlooked challenges in financial planning: learning how to spend with confidence. After decades of disciplined saving, many people struggle to enjoy the wealth they've worked so hard to build, even when their financial plan says they can. We explore why ongoing financial planning is about more than projections, it's about continuously adapting to changing markets, life events, and goals while giving yourself permission to enjoy your money responsibly. We also cover the importance of aligning your investment strategy with upcoming spending needs, managing risk before major purchases, and remembering that the ultimate purpose of financial planning isn't simply to build wealth, it's to use that wealth to live the life you envisioned.

  • The Market’s Changing But the Opportunity Isn’t Gone
    Sep 14 2026

    Sharpe Ratio-inspired, this podcast explores ideas to sharpen thinking and improve outcomes ‘per unit of risk’.

    We explore why the market's next chapter may look very different from the last. While artificial intelligence and mega-cap technology companies have driven exceptional returns, successful investing isn't just about owning great businesses, it's about understanding what expectations are already reflected in prices. We discuss why diversification remains essential, where opportunities may be emerging in small- and mid-cap stocks, the renewed role of fixed income in today's higher-rate environment and why building a portfolio for what's ahead is more important than chasing what has already worked. As markets evolve, staying disciplined, diversified, and focused on long-term fundamentals may be the key to navigating whatever comes next.

  • Should You Rent Out Your Old House?
    Aug 10 2026

    Sharpe Ratio-inspired, this podcast explores ideas to sharpen thinking and improve outcomes ‘per unit of risk’.

    We explore one of the most common questions homeowners face: Should you keep your old house as a rental or sell it? While most conversations focus on taxes, we take a different approach by looking at the decision through the lens of portfolio management and behavioral finance. We discuss how converting a home into a rental affects taxes, depreciation, capital gains exclusions, and 1031 exchanges, but more importantly, why a rental property should be evaluated like any other investment. If someone handed you the value of your house in cash today, would you intentionally buy that property as an investment? That simple question can completely change how you think about allocating capital and building long-term wealth.
