What Hedge Funds Really Do | Founder & CEO Mark Matson

What if the biggest risk to your money… isn’t the market, but you? Mark Matson has spent decades studying why smart people still make terrible investing decisions. In this episode, he tells the story of walking away from an industry built on prediction, stock-picking, and commissions — even when it paid him extremely well. Mark explains why most active managers underperform, why hedge funds look smarter than they are, and why Bitcoin isn’t the “currency” people think it is. But the deeper point is human: our brains are wired for panic, comparison, and magical thinking. Mark’s mission is to replace that chaos with process, purpose, and coaching. This one will challenge how you see money — and yourself.
