The Long Term Investor

Peter Lazaroff is the Chief Investment Officer at Plancorp and the author of Making Money Simple, and his podcast reflects exactly that title -- simplifying investment decisions for people who have better things to do than stare at stock charts all day. The show runs 243 episodes deep and typically features Peter either explaining a concept solo or interviewing guests who manage real money for real clients. A recent episode featured Vanguard's Kevin DiCiurcio explaining what their capital markets return forecasts actually mean in practice, not just the headline numbers but the percentile ranges and how to use them in planning. Another examined how to think about AI as an investment theme without getting caught up in hype cycles. Peter's background as a fiduciary advisor means the advice skews heavily toward evidence-based investing -- he talks about diversification, asset allocation, and rebalancing because the data supports them, not because they make for exciting content. Episodes run 20-40 minutes and have a calm, measured pace that matches the long-term mindset the show promotes. This is a particularly good fit for beginners who find the noise of daily market coverage overwhelming and want someone credentialed and experienced to explain why patience and consistency matter more than picking the right stock at the right time.
