For this reason, in today's story, Jay shares a how some seemingly silly brainstorming resulted in a real solution to power outages in Alaska. This story involves bears, honey, and helicopters. The lesson here in is how real solutions and progress can benefit from open-minded efforts to think critically even when an idea seems pretty out there.

These results are ASTOUNDING! Can this strategy actually DOUBLE your income in retirement? Is the 4% rule history? Be sure to listen all the way through to fully understand the assumptions of this model.

  • How safe is the stock market?

    00:00 - Intro

    00:38 - A Story Beyond Fear Story - Ft. Will Smith

    08:35 - How Risky is the Stock Market?

    In today's story, Jay recalls how a Will Smith video that he had shared on Facebook in 2017 changed the trajectory of his life forever. If you haven't seen it, this is the clip where Will Smith talks about his skydiving adventure and the fear that proceeded the jump. Find out how just sharing this clip had a huge butterfly effect. Have you ever had a butterfly effect life changing moment? Let us know in the comments!

    In the main topic, Jay answers the question, "How risky is the stock market?" Investing is an act with the goal of attaining gain over time. The market is volatile, and leaves many scared by the unknowns of the future. Over time, how does an investor's certainty of gain improve (historically speaking)? Can time really help us more realistically project a healthy gain for our investments? Does the S&P500 actually yield an average of 11% per year? Can you get 12% like Dave Ramsey claims you can on the Dave Ramsey Show? What is the difference between a simple average and an annualized average? How are these different from a geometric average? Why does this matter to you?
