He Gave Himself a PhD in Investing — One Audiobook at a Time (Brian Feroldi)

Brian Feroldi grew up in Rhode Island as a born saver — the kind of kid who hoarded his lunch money candy rather than eating it, just to watch his collection grow. His dad was a CFO. His mom raised money for the ALS Association. Nobody sat him down and explained how investing worked. That part he had to figure out on his own.A financial educator, YouTuber, and author of the book Why Does the Stock Market Go Up?, Brian joins Chris Hill to talk about the long road from money-illiterate college graduate to one of the most-followed investing educators on the internet. He shares:- Why he chose his college major purely to save $5,000 a year in tuition — and why the classroom demographics sealed the deal- How 40,000 miles a year on the road became an unlikely PhD in business and investing, while his coworkers listened to Howard Stern- What Charlie Munger understood about incentives that most investors still get wrong — and why stock-based compensation at most public companies is completely broken- Why he regrets his MBA (and it’s not because of the money it cost)What is something you bought that makes you happy?
