About this listen

You're smart and you work hard, so why do you feel financially stuck? The problem isn't your effort; it's your programming. Your brain is running on ancient, buggy software full of "glitches"—cognitive biases that silently sabotage your financial decisions and keep you poor.

In this deep-dive, we're going on a ghost hunt. We'll expose the 7 most dangerous mental traps that are hijacking your wallet, from the Sunk Cost Stubbornness to the insidious Willpower Myth. You'll learn why you overvalue your own ideas, why you buy high and sell low, and why that pay raise never seems to make you happier. Stick around to the very end for a bonus 8th glitch that nobody talks about—a modern trap that changes how you see every dollar you earn.

This isn't just a list of money mistakes; it's a guide to upgrading your mental software so you can finally take back control.
