What Finance Gets Wrong About Success, Happiness & Legacy | Jenna Nicholas

Modern finance typically optimizes profit, but not human well-being. Investor and author Jenna Nicholas explains why that’s a problem, and how we can fix it.

In this episode of The Future of Finance Podcast, George Dyer sits down with Jenna Nicholas, President of LightPost Capital and author of Enlightened Bottom Line.

They explore:

• Why GDP and profit fail to measure human flourishing
• How spirituality, purpose, and finance intersect
• The HEAL framework: Hope, Empathy, Abundance, and Legacy
• Why money is “stored energy” that must circulate
• How responsible AI could reshape investing
• What today’s students and young professionals need to know about the future of finance

This conversation challenges the idea that maximizing returns alone leads to better outcomes, and offers a more human, long-term vision for capitalism, investing, and leadership.
