    Dimensional Fund Advisors Co-Founder David Booth on The Birth of Modern Finance and Embracing Uncertainty in Investing

    Dimensional Fund Advisors Co-Founder David Booth on The Birth of Modern Finance and Embracing Uncertainty in Investing

    The impact David Booth has had on your financial life is profound, whether you realize it or not.
    David is the co-founder of Dimensional Fund Advisors, a firm that fundamentally changed the way we make everyday decisions about practical investing and money.
    David knew the future of investing would depend on data, so in 1981 he moved a noisy, hot, refrigerator-sized computer into his two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. The machine spit out stock prices for brokers and investment managers around the world, and as a result, Dimensional was one of the first investment firms to apply academic research to practical investing.
    In this episode of 50 Fires, David talks about those early days of Dimensional, and goes back even further to reflect on his earliest memories of money as a boy in Kansas selling newspapers door-to-door.
    He shares stories of the growth of Dimensional Fund Advisors, and talks about two of his favorite topics when it comes to investing: randomness and uncertainty.
    He also talks with host Carl Richards about a new documentary film chronicling the history of Dimensional, directed by acclaimed documentarian Errol Morris called Tune Out The Noise.

    Journalist and Adventure Writer Daniel Duane on Changing Course and Becoming a Therapist in His Mid-50s

    Carl welcomes journalist, writer, surfer, climber, father and husband Daniel Duane to reflect on a life and career guided by passionate pursuits and what happens when that career suddenly seems unviable. The conversation raises questions about the meaning of a simpler life and how to navigate the complexities of money in the present as the cost of living continues to rise all around us. As a result, Dan shares his journey of transitioning from being a writer to becoming a psychotherapist, reflecting on feeling cornered in his career well after middle age, and the fear of not being able to provide for his family. If you’ve ever felt alone in struggling with an uncertain future, this episode of 50 Fires is a reminder that none of us have to be alone in that struggle.
