A former private investment manager for 44 years, Selengut personally oversaw around 325 individual portfolios in the U.S. and abroad. Drawing on a “department store” metaphor, he treats each portfolio asset like “merchandise on a shelf,” taking strategic profits while reinvesting for consistent growth. Selengut retired from day-to-day portfolio management in 2022, devoting himself to a coaching practice that frees investors from market-driven stress and uncertainty. He remains one of the few investment authors who have directly managed other people’s money.

Podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained 1000s of people around the world, and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity, and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and be it till you see it. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:52 All right, Be It babe. Here's the deal. We're gonna talk money. I say it straight up on the interview. It's good stuff. Don't be scared. He is going to say words you may not know or you've only heard of, and you usually nod along when you hear about it, but he doesn't talk nearly as fast as I do, so he's gonna absolutely inform you in the best way about how to manage your retirement, how to not even to your retirement, how to manage your portfolio so that you can retire.
