Sometimes we get caught up in what feels like infinite loops when we try to figure things out. Markets go up and down, research is presented and then refuted, and we wind up right back where we started.
The goal of this podcast is to learn how we can reset our thinking on issues that leaves us with a better understanding as to why we think the way we think and how we might be able to change that, to avoid going in infinite loops and thoughts.
Hosts, Jim O’Shaughnessy and Jamie Catherwood, hope to offer you a fresh perspective on a variety of issues and look at them through a multi-faceted lens. Including history, philosophy, art, science, linguistics, and quantitative analysis. And help you become a better investor and also a more nuanced thinker.

Customer Reviews
Great interviewer, great guests
Perfect mix of listening, asking great questions and letting the guests talk fully, all while subtly and tactfully adding his value. This guy is incredible wise and lively. Excellent podcast.
A Wide Breadth of Experiences
Jim does a great job incorporating his 30+ years of investing experience with his guest’s insights. Fascinating explanation of the “latticework” of investing, which incorporates philosophy, history, biology, and psychology among other subjects.
Brilliant
Couldn’t recommend this podcast enough. Not only a great follow on Twitter, but a truly informative podcast host as well. The insights generated apply not just to investing, but to many other areas of life as well. If you’re looking to start with a single episode, the conversation with Rory Sutherland is magic.
