285-What Does Financial Fraud Smell Like?

When I was younger I was easily duped by the financial fraudsters that seek to build their empires by deceiving people. Thankfully, I never had any major financial losses, but I was definitely hurt when I discovered how gullible I was.

Since then, I've developed some slightly better skills for sniffing out fraud and questionable advice. And in today's show, I share some of my tips with you.

I hope that together we can continue to develop our own skills of critical thinking and spread those skills to others. We certainly need more critical thinking across our society!
