Today’s conversation is with Andrew Craig.

Andrew is an ex-investment banker, founder of plain English finance, and author of Amazon best-sellers, How to Own the World and Live on Less, Invest the Rest.

How to Own the World is one of the most impactful British personal finance book of all time and when I first hosted Andrew on the show back in November 2020, I couldn’t believe the positive impact the conversation had on so many listeners.

Expect to learn about why Andrew isn’t surprised by the current economic situation, the biggest challenges facing investors and companies, the fudging of inflation figures, why the politicians are either wilfully ignorant, incompetent or lying to you, why crypto might be a good investment but isn’t good for human progress, and why despite all this noise that the outlook for your future should be positive.

Andrew is an optimist but also a realist and we discuss the net positives of capitalism and the stock market, what role life sciences and biotech will play in a brighter and more positive future, as well as Andrew’s own experiences and advices of pursuing something he truly cares about and becoming self employed in recent years.

I wanted to make sure I marked this milestone of 200 episodes with something special and this conversation certainly achieves that.
