#81 Breaking Out of the Golden Handcuffs w/JJ Wenrich 20-year Investment Veteran & Comedian Lancey Joe

J. J. Wenrich is a Certified Financial Planner and 20-year veteran of the investment world.  He developed his fascination in the stock market as a child, watching business reports on PBS, one of the few stations available in his small-town Kansas home.  During the freezing winters and blazing summers, he was inside learning about what he calls “the amazing world of stocks.” Despite his small-town upbringing, J.J. had progressive teachers along the way who included personal finance and stock-picking games in their curriculum. Later, his education continued at The University of Kansas, reigniting his love of the market. So much so that, while his buddies headed off to Mexico for spring break, he stayed on campus and spent all-nighters watching CNBC, geeking-out on stock charts and spreadsheets as he followed equity markets around the world. Since then, J.J. has built a 20-year career in financial planning and investments, working with some of the best investment professionals and financial advisors in the U.S. Along the way, he met his wife Jodie—also a financial professional—and together they built a family “portfolio” including Jodie’s son and another three children born within 30 months. It’s that family unit that is the basis of J.J.’s lessons on educating kids about healthy financial habits and Teaching Kids to Buy Stocks. J.J. also runs a Registered Investment Advisory Practice in California (https://www.jjwenrich.com/wenrichconsulting) 1:40 Stories and Lessons for Grown-Ups 2:40 JJ Leaving the Corporate World 3:30 Lancey Leaving his Job 5:40 IV Investments 9:04 Leaving the Firm Over Publishing 10:39 Getting his Own Voice Back 11:50 “I Second-Guess Myself All the Time.” - Lancey 12:00 “I Have Multiple Second-Guessing Periods Per Day.” - JJ 13:38 Kareem’s Unstable Employment / Stressing Out 16:25 Elon Musk, Tesla Truck, Paypal Accountability 20:20 Tesla’s Showcase of the Truck / Shattered Window 24:40 Pickup Trucks Discussion 29:00 Teslas are Boring 30:52 Talking Stocks 32:30 Mutual Funds 35:40 Out Performing, Sell-Offs 37:40 60/20/20 39:18 Being More Active with Your Portfolio 43:40 Investors Business Daily 45:10 Macy’s & JC Penney’s Online Platform 49:00 JC Penney Sucks 49:20 Amazon Adapting as Retail is Dying Connect with Amer and BNOS: Visit the BNOS Website: http://amerabdullah.com/ Like BNOS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/businessnewsandothershit Follow BNOS on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theamerabdullah Follow BNOS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theamerabdullah Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUV4hDV5i4o0wHHydh6RcCA?view_as=subscriber
