In this episode of the RA21 podcast, we talk about diversification and how to defeat diworsification. We discuss at length the broad strokes of why most young adults find it incredibly difficult to concentrate efforts - and attack the most overdecorated advice in personal finance - diversifying yourself. We speak in depth on how to best design a portfolio that addresses diversification correctly through time - instead of what everyday pundits refer to as capital.
