HerMoney with Jean ChatzkyUncertainty And Your Investments With Maggie JacksonThese days, things feel more uncertain than ever. Take the economy, for example. By almost any objective measure, we’re doing much better economically than we were three years ago, but the vibes are… off. So, what’s going on?

Mortgage rates are also at their highest levels in more than 20 years making it really difficult to buy a house. But while all of this uncertainty in the world may feel bad, uncertainty itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Maggie Jackson, au...

I Wish They Knew(Ep. 157) Maggie Jackson: The benefits of being uncertainIN EPISODE 157:
Uncertainty isn't a sign of weakness. It's a signal of wisdom. In Episode 157, Maggie Jackson explores why uncertainty can actually lead to better individual and team outcomes, as well as more creativity, stronger bonds and a drive to investigate and question. We discuss the benefits of being unsure, the limits of mental shortcuts, why uncertainty spurs collaboration, and when it's unhelpful to be unsure. The best mind is an open mind -- and after listening to Maggie, you'll open yourself up to possibilities you may never have considered.
