In this solo episode, Jason breaks down how to reduce anxiety in your investment portfolio by using defensive positions — sectors that historically hold steady through volatility. He explains consumer staples, healthcare, utilities, and telecommunications in plain language, and shares how to evaluate your portfolio's beta, standard deviation, and dividend exposure so you can stay confident, informed, and prepared.

Key Takeaways:

• Why emotions — not data — drive most market losses
• How defensive sectors help reduce volatility
• The tradeoff between stability and growth
• How to avoid surprise tax liabilities from dividend-heavy holdings
