If I could sit down with my younger self and talk investing, this is exactly what I’d say.

In this episode of The Infinite Income Podcast, George Mayfield—The Dividend Doctor—and Autumn Bennett break down the most important investing lessons most people only learn after years of trial, error, and costly mistakes.

This episode is designed for beginners and late starters who want clarity, confidence, and a simple path forward—without the noise, hype, or confusion.

We cover:

• Why time in the market matters more than perfect timing

• How starting simple builds confidence and consistency

• The difference between smart risk and dangerous ignorance

• Why dividends play a bigger role than most investors realize

• How behavior—not strategy—often determines success

• And why chasing every “next big thing” quietly destroys compounding

Plus, George shares a powerful bonus tip that can change how you define investing success altogether.

Whether you’re just getting started or resetting your approach, this episode will help you avoid common traps and stay focused on what truly builds long-term wealth.

This episode explores whether AI can sustain the 2026 bull market, breaking down the real rally drivers, the risks investors are overlooking, and the key indicators to follow this year.

Hosts George Mayfield and Autumn Bennett cover inflation, interest rates, consumer behavior, housing trends, global opportunities, and which companies are turning AI into real productivity gains.

Heading into 2026 the economy looks steadier: inflation has cooled but remains a factor, interest rates should ease gradually, and housing is likely to thaw rather than crash. Consumers are spending more intentionally, and AI is becoming a structural productivity force.

For investors, the year favors quality—companies with strong balance sheets, sustainable dividends, and real AI-driven earnings. Focus on practical signals, not headlines or hype.
