Don’t Panic... Plan: How to Stay Calm in a Chaotic Financial World with Nick Grose

Feel like you’re constantly second-guessing your financial decisions? Tired of the noise from talking heads, YouTube gurus, and random internet advice? In this episode, Josh Cary sits down with financial advisor Nick Grose of Grose Wealth Management to break through the confusion and offer a grounded, relationship-first approach to wealth.

This isn’t a jargon-filled finance lecture. It’s a refreshingly human, emotionally aware conversation that gets to the heart of why we invest, save, and plan in the first place. Nick shares how his early obsession with finance (yes, he read investing textbooks for fun as a teen), his professional hockey background, and his family legacy shape how he advises clients today.

Whether you’re in your 30s building wealth or nearing retirement, trying to protect it, Nick delivers real insight on how to build confidence and clarity even when the market gets shaky.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why Most Financial Advice Falls Flat:

Nick unpacks why there’s so much noise out there and how your own overconfidence bias might be tripping you up without realizing it.

The Hidden Emotional Drivers Behind Every Financial Goal:

Investing isn’t just about numbers, it’s about what those numbers mean to you. Nick shares how he digs into the emotional "why" behind each client’s logical goals.

How to Build a Legacy That’s More Than Just Money:

You’ll discover the two sides of legacy: passing down wealth and passing down trust. Nick explains how long-term relationships matter more than hot stock picks.

The Power of a Second Opinion:

Using a personal (and pretty wild) hockey injury story, Nick shows why getting another look at your financial plan might save more than your portfolio.

From Rinks to Returns: How Hockey Shaped His Wealth Philosophy:

Discipline, resilience, and preparation, what Nick learned on the ice translates directly into his approach to helping clients weather market storms.

How to Sleep Better at Night (Even When Markets Crash):

You’ll learn why diversification is only part of the answer, and how true financial peace comes from clarity, coaching, and being emotionally ready for what’s ahead.

What to Ask Yourself (and Your Advisor) Before Making Big Moves:

Nick shares the essential questions to evaluate whether your current financial setup actually aligns with your life goals, not just your spreadsheet.

If you’ve ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or flat-out stuck about what to do with your money, this episode gives you the clarity and permission to slow down, think deeply, and create a real plan that serves you, your family, and your future.
