If you're looking for a 17-minute diversion this weekend, I joined Chuck Jaffe on his Money Life with Chuck Jaffe podcast. You can find the full September 18, 2025, episode here, at the moneylifeshow.com website or on your favorite podcast app.

My segment is below.

And for those who prefer to read, I’ve included a transcript of our conversation. Please pardon any typos or errors—the AI tools that create these aren’t perfect.

Chuck and I covered a lot of ground: My approach to investing and manager research, how to think about diversification and the corners of the market where Vanguard doesn’t play. We wrapped up with Chuck’s "Quick and Dirty" round—always a fun challenge—where I shared my take on several Vanguard funds.

Enjoy!
