Episode notes
Channel Risk With A Sequestered Play Fund
- Teach young men why their brains drive risk-seeking and the real downsides of that impulse.
- Allow controlled gambling: allocate a small portion for high-risk bets and measure performance versus a diversified portfolio.

- Young men are biologically more risk-aggressive and this helps explain crypto and meme-stock popularity.
- These riskier assets often outperform short-term but underperform a diversified index over time.
