Mindful Investing: Jonathan DeYoe and Dawson Church in Conversation

Jonathan DeYoe is a Lutheran seminarian turned Buddhist academic turned financial adviser. He is the author of Mindful Investing: Right Focus, Better Outcome, Greater Well-Being. Jonathan has been investing for over four decades and meditating for 25 years. DeYoe started managing investments for clients at Wall Street firms before launching his own financial planning firm in 2001. After 20 years, Jonathan merged his firm into the national financial planning firm EP Wealth. Today, Jonathan is a senior VP and partner at EP Wealth, and his Mindful Money organization is focused on financial education and coaching for people who don’t have access to traditional advice.

Here he and Dawson share their passion for making money part of your spiritual journey:

• Jonathan’s background
• The meaning of life
• Meditation
• How money and spirituality are vital parts of life
• Done correctly, money isn’t about piles of wealth, it’s about love
• What money can do for our children, our communities, our later lives
• The definition of mindfulness
• Investing
• All investments fall into two categories: investment or renting
• Inflation is the real problem, the constant decline in our units of value
• Equities protect against inflation
• Dividends increase at 2 - 3 times the rate of inflation
• Cash and bonds aren’t safer in the long run
• Keep your investment plans ultra simple
• Start with global equity portfolio
• Asking about the size of returns is the wrong question because we don't know the future
• Studies show that the more time you spend picking stocks, the less likely you are to be a successful investor
