    Fascinating conversations
    Daniel brings a unique expertise to the area of investment and behavioral psychology, sharing ideas in an easy to understand way for the everyday listener. He has a great balance between letting his guests speak about their experiences, while adding his own thoughts throughout the conversation. I was hooked right away!
  • conman12
    Great podcast for behavioral finance
    There are lots of experts in the world. However, there are fewer who are really interesting to listen to. And then there are even fewer who are clever, insightful, and informed. DANIEL is one of those people who offers great insight with a very human touch. If you have not listened to Daniel Crosby, you’ve got to check him out!
  • 4frodo

    A Gem of a Resource
    Dr. Daniel Crosby’s insights on behavioral investing for the financial advisor community are invaluable. I’ve learned so much from him about how we can better serve our clients as behavioral coaches to help them achieve their most important life goals.
  • obacker19

    Fascinating Psychology, Investing, Business, and More
    Several advisors I know have a sticky note of Daniel Crosby’s famous Four Pillars of Investor Psychology on their desks. I have learned a lot from this show and Daniel's books and social media presence. He's a very thoughtful person and his interdisciplinary angle is brain food. As a psychology major turned marketer who focuses on finserv, this is everything I like in one place. Daniel interviews a range of guests and it keeps the lens wide - listeners benefit. He’s a brilliant guy, and asking good questions like he does is a skill few podcasters possess. This show is on my favorites list and you can start anywhere because it’s mostly evergreen. Five stars!
  • Sridhar Dagupati
    One of the best podcasts on behavioral finance
    Dr. Daniel Crosby’s podcast is filled with nuggets of wisdom from behavioral finance. It’s a must listen whether you are a investor or a trader or finance enthusiast.
  • Iser Steinemetz
    Smart
    One of the smartest podcast out there. Thanks for doing this
  • Eric714
    Excellent insights to stuff you’re probably missing
    I find myself coming back and listening again and again. If you’ve enjoyed his two books: Behavioral Investor and Laws of Wealth or his TED talks you’ll find yourself loving this podcast. Daniel is a great interviewer. But I love the short Money Minute episodes and the speeches he’s given at conferences. I think if you apply the principles you will be a happier and better investor.
  • XoX19x560
    Clever, Smart, Interesting Podcast
    Really love this podcast. I'm so bad with money, but Dr. Daniel Crosby makes me feel like I can overcome my broken brain and make better decisions about my wealth and personal finances. Good podcast if you're a newbie with investments or if you're seasoned and love human psychology.
  • Guy From Tuscaloosa, AL
    Informative, Intuitive, & Meaningful
    Dr. Crosby, thank you for your Standard Deviations podcast. I’m a young finance professional and listening to them have taught me things I’ve thought about but never acted upon as an investor, until now. I believe your work here is informative, intuitive, and meaningful. I look forward to hearing more in the future and reading your books. Bests, JDD - Financial Analyst

  • JCNittany
    Well done
    Dr Crosby’s podcasts are like a good email or a beautiful woman’s skirt - short enough to peak interest, but long enough to cover the details - he leaves me wanting more - love it.
  • Never Quit Shay
    Love the Brain Juice!
    Working out the body in the gym but feeding the brain with some Dr. Crosby knowledge is perfect in my opinion. Insightful, thought provoking, and even humorous. Love it!
  • Fundmonger
    Top Notch
    This podcast is a thoughtful addition to my week. The ideas always require a second and third listen.
  • Rocky Lal
    Life is about more than money.

  • AlyssaLolo72
    So Good!
    Great podcast with perfectly succinct episodes. It touches on a variety of interesting and relatable topics that I've used to spark my own discussions with family and friends. Definitely recommended!
  • azupko
    Give this one a listen!
    I'm really enjoying the "Why Did I Do That?" Podcast with Dr. Crosby! Went on a walk the other day and planned on listening to two during that time, but ended up extending my usual loop so I could catch a third. The episode "You Will Never Change Anyone's Mind on Facebook" should be required listening for anyone with a social media account. I found myself nodding along in recognition! Dr. Crosby has a talent for naming and humorously exploring facets of those things that make us human.
  • timmc1140
    Entertaining and Educational
    Dr Crosby has a unique ability to take complex subjects and break them down to easy to digest bites of knowledge. But what makes the podcast is that he does it in a personal, funny, and engaging way.
  • James M. Matthews
    Love this one
    I've followed the works of Dr. Crosby for some time and as someone in the profession of financial planning I feel that his work is essential to help people understand the psychology behind their personal finance behavior. This short format lends itself to digestible points which I ponder for the rest of the week. I can only hope to hear more!
  • Eryu34677
    Short and powerful podcasts!
    Dr. Crosby's warm and engaging style make these informative podcasts a pleasure to listen to.
  • schaefferschaef
    Great Podcast
    The topics are always interesting and one of my favorite podcasts because it comes in shorter segments.
