Welcome to another captivating episode! Today, we have a special treat for you as we sit down with the brilliant Ed Conway, a prominent figure in economics and journalism.
In the 1980s, Ed Conway's journey began near Oxfordshire, where his love for economics and journalism flourished. After studying English at Oxford University, he earned a scholarship to Harvard, where he pursued his master's degree. Armed with degrees from two of the world's finest institutions, Ed returned to the UK, stepping into the role of correspondent for the Daily Mail.
Ed's career soared as he became the Economics Editor for both The Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph. During this time, he achieved a significant milestone by publishing his first book, "50 Economics Ideas You Really Need to Know," which received critical acclaim and was translated into an impressive 13 languages.
In 2011, Sky News recognized Ed's exceptional talents, appointing him as their first-ever Economics Editor. Fast forward 12 years, and Ed is still a prominent figure at Sky, having recently released a new book—a personal favorite of ours this year.

The praise doesn't stop there, with reviews from notable figures such as Tim Marshall, author of "Prisoners Of Geography," and Peter Frankopan, author of "The Silk Roads."
