Tom Watts is a clinical psychologist. We interviewed him in order to learn from a master of human nature. His practice can be found here.
At the start of the episode, we mention a long term financial compounding example described in the previous episode. You are encouraged to listen to it for context. The same goes for this spreadsheet illustrating how much you can make from long term investing of this sort.
If you put the methods to work Tom discusses in this episode, you will have a chance attaining the goal expressed in that sheet.
