Narcissistic behaviour is more common than you think... here’s why. Dr K explains that narcissists often appear confident, but it’s a mask for deep insecurity. He reveals how constant validation-seeking, especially through social media, fuels this false confidence. Narcissists crave control because it hides their fear of not being enough.

- Are people becoming more narcissistic? - Yes. - They are. - Yeah. - Absolutely. - And what impact does that have? - I don't even know where to start. Like, so I think it's affecting our relationships. It's affecting our happiness. It's affecting our professional ability. - I was thinking is social media making us more narcissistic? - Absolutely. - than driving us to be more lonely. And if so, how do we first define the word narcissism? - From studies on narcissism, that narcissism has its roots and insecurity. So if you think about someone who's like ego-tistical and confident, like Steven, I'm sure you know both. What's the difference between the two? - Confidence feels more secure. An ego-tisticalness feels more insecure. - Absolutely. Where does a confident person's esteem come from? - Inside. - Where does an ego-tistical system come from? - Outside. - Beautiful. So this is what social media is doing. Social media and technology is externalizing our perception. Once we exist outside of ourselves, all of our esteem comes from the outside world 'cause that's where we're spending our time.

Money gives you options, it does not guarantee happiness. JL Collins shares a simple story about two childhood friends who take very different paths. One becomes powerful by serving the king. The other lives simply as a monk. When they meet again, each believes the other could live an easier life by changing. The lesson is not about choosing poverty or wealth. It's about freedom. If you need very little, you answer to no one. Collins explains that money can expand choices, but it also magnifies who you already are. Many people chase wealth thinking it will bring peace, only to realise the climb never really ends. Would you rather have more money or fewer needs? #podcast #money #business #invest #stocks
Paying off your mortgage sooner can change everything. David Bach explains that one of the most common financial mistakes is waiting too long to pay off a mortgage. He says the decision starts with your interest rate. If your mortgage rate is low, it may make sense to invest extra money elsewhere. But with higher rates, paying down the mortgage faster becomes an easy decision. He points out that even one extra payment per year on a thirty year mortgage can shorten the loan by several years. Would you prioritise paying off your mortgage or investing extra money right now? #podcast #podcast #renting #realestate #investing
Renting might feel flexible but it can quietly cost you decades... David Bach explains why renting through your twenties and thirties can leave people reaching forty with little to no net worth. He argues that comparing stock market returns to home ownership is not a fair comparison because buying a home typically involves leverage. With a down payment, homeowners benefit from the full value of the property as it grows, along with potential tax advantages and long term equity. He also challenges the idea that renters consistently invest the money they did not use for a down payment, saying that in reality many spend more on lifestyle instead. Do you think renting really gives people more financial freedom long term? #podcast #renting #realestate #investing #money
