We’ve reached the end of Season 2 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast. In this episode, you’ll get some bonus questions and answers from all of our guests for the season. We’ve asked them to analyse their own financial behaviour when it comes to the many biases we unpacked throughout the season.

It’s really great to see that we are all human and even people who are experts in finance and behavioural finance can fall prey to these biases. It’s completely natural!

And of course, we can’t wrap up season 2 without saying thank you to our sponsor – IG Markets South Africa – as well as to all of our guests, and the team that helped to put this podcast together.
