Psychology of Money - Morgan Housel
Thanks for joining the Money Minds meetup group.
If you would like to be the first to know whenever a new event is announced, please join our whatsapp group using the link;

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel explores the unique and often overlooked role of human behavior and psychology in financial decision-making. Housel argues that financial success isn't solely determined by mathematical or economic principles, but also by how we, as individuals, perceive and react to money. This perspective challenges the conventional wisdom that financial success is solely a matter of making the "right" decisions based on market trends and economic theories.
Housel emphasizes the importance of understanding the emotional and psychological aspects of money, which are often ignored in traditional financial education. He highlights the significant impact of personal biases, the role of luck and risk, and the human tendency to overestimate our abilities to predict the future. The book stresses the value of long-term financial planning and the importance of saving money for future needs, rather than focusing solely on short-term gains.
The Psychology of Money also delves into the concept of "enough," suggesting that financial contentment is crucial for long-term happiness and success. It encourages readers to think critically about their financial goals and the true value of money in their lives.

NFT AI ART Columbus
NFT's are here to stay folks!

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
