Whatchyabeenupto?

I sure don’t post as much as I used to. So here’s a bunch of stuff…

1. We rented a castle in Scotland and had a bunch of friends and it was so good you should do it OMG.

2. Fortune Magazine had me talk about supporting your adult kids

3. Family Business Magazine had my thoughts on the challenges of legacy planning on their virtual cover.

4. My people had me talk about
How to philanthropy
Why you no have no will (hint: R-E-S-P-E-C-T)
Finding meaning and purpose in a life of plenty and
– threw me on a few webcasts viewed by, like, no really, a couple million people.

So I got that going for me.

And you?

Brain drops keep falling from my head…

A few more media things from the last few months.

The Wall Street Journal: “They Can’t Even: A Generation Avoids Facing Its Finances

ABCNews syndication: “Most Americans feeling economic anxiety, but there are ways to decrease worry

The Financial Brand: “How Can Banks Benefit from Behavioral Science? JPMorgan Chase’s Jeff Kreisler Explains” – a whole lot about me and what I do and why a bank should have someone on board to do it, too

Some stuff from my current mothership:
How to think about market volatility
Next Gen: Money and Meaning, how your money can make more of you
New Year, New Opportunities (retirement)
• One of many behavioral science landing pages.

I miss you. What’s new?

Kickin’ It

Life takes you funny places.

Here I am kicking a field goal at SoFi Stadium because my college football career led to a law degree led to stand-up comedy led to writing a book about cheating led to behavioral science led to touring the globe talking about money.

Makes sense to me.

One-a-them cool sketch things

I gave a talk and they made one of those sketch things. I *LOVE* those. Check it out.

A little love

I don’t always share praise, but when it’s from a Giving Pledge gathering of the global wealthy seeking to make a positive impact on the world… I do.

“I had to reach out and thank you again! We all heard such positive feedback on your talk in the breakout sessions and have received several emails quoting you last week… You made a real impact on his group, and I know your guidance will have a long lasting impact on this community”

No, “YOU* Haven’t Updated *Your* Blog In 10 Months!

Okay. It’s me. I haven’t done it. I’m SORRY! It’s been… hectic? Exhausting? Something rough? But, here I am, telling you where my words and brains have been. Enjoy?

• I was on this apparently extremely popular podcast, Standard Deviations with Daniel Crosby. Talking money and whatnot.

Wake up! I was in Morning Brew, which is a thing that might be awesome.

• What nation-states have professed their love of our book lately?
The French, The Polish and – rule of three – the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. OKAY!

• You ‘member how I got hired by JP Morgan to build a behavioral science practice / make sweet jokes? Here are some things I’ve done for them (there’s more, mostly sweet jokes, but I can’t include them all):

Okay bye! See you in 10 months…

Media catch up.. it’s 2021, y’all

Hi. I’m a, heh, “thought leader.” Heh.
#I’mSoTired

Forbes Advisor stole my brain twice:
– on the pay off debt v. save for retirement debate
– on creating weekly allowances… for adults!

The Washington Post exploited my head-noodle on shopping/saving/Amazon Prime Day:
– “The dirty secret of Amazon Prime Day: Shoppers aren’t saving as much as they think

Business Insider put my head in a vice as was like “What do you know about the benefits of couples automating their finances?”
– And I was all like, “Ouch.”

Investopedia just time traveled and said our 2017 book was the Best Finance Book of 2021.
– “An engaging read, which seamlessly combines scientific evidence with entertaining real-world examples… Unlike many behavioral economics and pop psychology books, “Dollars and Sense” not only outlines the problematic way humans approach money by default, but also provides real actionable advice to help all of us overcome our irrational money habits.”

And don’t forget, we were an answer on Jeopardy!

PeopleScience –> JP Morgan

November 30 was my last day as Editor-in-Chief of PeopleScience. (I’m now “Founding Editor” ooooh.)

I am sad to move on, but eternally grateful to Charlotte Blank and Maritz for giving me the opportunity to build something unique, inspiring, engaging and (**removes self-deprecation filter**) important… and I’m extremely proud that our team was able to do just that. Thank you.

I’ve been on a lot of creative projects – too many! – and they rarely end “well.” Canceled, underfunded, under consumed, talent conflicts, dumb decisions. This is one where I leave head held high.

PeopleScience will continue stronger and better without me. Like a parent sending my baby off to school, I trust it will thrive and I hope you’ll follow and support it with me.

As for me…

I am now Head of Behavioral Science for JP Morgan Chase.

I’m excited to join my skills, experience and network of superstars (YOU!) with the vast reach, resources and enthusiasm of JPM to help everyone make better financial decisions, lower stress and, ultimately, live happier, more secure and better lives.

There will also be jokes.

We’ll see how that all goes.

Our book was on Jeopardy!

Wild. Our book was a clue – an answer? a question? – on Jeopardy!
This is the kind of low-impact, mid-level, high-giddiness fame I crave 😉
Tops the awards, bestseller lists, translations and all that.
We did it!

PeopleScience Press

Believe it or not, I don’t post all my media hits here, because I can’t afford too many assistants.

They (Still) Like Me!

Sorry. This is gross.

“Just wanted to tell you what a success Jeff Kreisler was with our conference. He delivered on my expectations and so much more. I just wanted to compliment him on really listening to our interests during the pre-call I conducted with him. I had told him we wanted to apply the general principles of behavioral economics to how people make decisions to use XYZ. His presentation had so many applications to the XYZ consumer. … Thank you for helping me identify Jeff as a speaker for our Conference. He was exactly what I hoped to create as the opening to our morning of consumer insights. … I can’t remember when I laughed so hard at a keynote presentation.”

President & CEO, ORGANIZATION
