130: Behavioral Finance Ideas Proven To Enhance Client Outcomes with Dan Egan

As Betterment’s Director of Behavioral Science, Dan Egan knows that understanding human behavior is key to your client’s financial success.

But knowing that’s true and knowing what to do about it are two different things.

In this episode, he reveals proven ideas you can implement to enhance your client’s outcomes without having to go through your own trial-and-error process.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How visualizing goals makes saving more consistent
