This week, I’m joined by Ben Felix, Chief Investment Officer at PWL Capital and co-host of the Rational Reminder podcast. Ben is best known in the FIRE community for his YouTube channel, which has nearly 500K subscribers and features insights on investing, financial decision-making, and living a good life. Ben is one of the clearest voices in evidence-based investing. His work breaks down complex financial ideas into straightforward, data-driven insights that help investors cut through the noise. It’s a masterclass in rational investing, delivered by one of the best in the game.

In this conversation, we cover:

  • The truth about "beating" or timing the market (00:13:06)
  • Why market efficiency matters more than most investors think (00:24:41)
  • How to think about asset allocation and your own risk tolerance (00:49:26)
  • Why chasing dividends might not be the smartest path to FIRE (00:56:55)
  • What a realistic safe withdrawal rate looks like today (01:07:52)
