Are you obsessively checking your portfolio—or avoiding it entirely? What’s the right approach to managing your money post-exit? In this Mini-Wise episode, Sam Parr breaks down how three ultra-wealthy entrepreneurs—Chuck (net worth: hundreds of millions), Travis (net worth: $50M), and Anne Mahlum (net worth: $100M+)—handle the mental rollercoaster of market fluctuations. Each shares their unique strategy, from completely logging off to obsessively staying informed, and how these choices impact their peace of mind and financial outcomes. Chuck sold his company for $2.5 billion but realized his daily portfolio check-ins were ruining his mood, so he outsourced entirely. Travis stopped compulsively tracking his investments and focused on growing his next business instead. Meanwhile, Anne Mahlum embraces daily oversight, crediting her disciplined research and comfort with market dips as key to her 20%+ portfolio growth. In this episode: The emotional toll of tracking massive portfolios. Why "logging off" works for some investors—but not all. Anne Mahlum’s take on how staying informed helps her make bigger, smarter bets. Learn how to match your investing strategy with your personality—and find the tools and habits that bring you both peace and success.
