Jim o'shaughnessy: Sometimes we get caught up in what feel like infinite loops when trying to figure things out. The goal of this podcast is to learn how we can reset our thinking on issues that hopefully leaves us with a better understanding as to why we think the way we think, and how we might be able to change that. This podcast is for informational purposes only, and should not be relied upon as a basis for investment decisions.
