Australian Investors Podcast

In this episode, I’m joined by Scott Phillips. You may know Scott as the Chief Investment Officer for The Motley Fool Australia. This podcast was recorded in both audio and video form, so you can watch it on the Rask YouTube page.Scott is one of Australia’s leading voices on investing, but also personal finances and shareholder advocacy.Closer to home, Scott has been instrumental in my development. During my time with The Motley Fool Australia I was privileged to be mentored by Scott and see him develop his own craft up close.It might seem odd for me, and Scott, to do a podcast together given he runs the Motley Fool Money podcast, which sits in iTunes alongside some of Rask’s shows. And because The Motley Fool is a competitor.However, I think Scott’s generosity and willingness to come on the program shows his true character. An honest, humble, straight shooter.In this episode, we talk about Scott’s journey to becoming an investor. His passion started early. He would request annual reports in the mail and crunch his own ratios.We talk about Scott’s true passions, his lessons learned and more.I hope you enjoy this episode with Scott Phillps, Chief Investment Officer of The Motley Fool Australia.In this episode, I’m joined by Scott Phillips.

You’re about to hear one of the most enjoyable, intellectual revealing, self-reflecting and honest conversations I had with one of my best friends. If you have the time, I’d suggest you watch this podcast. It’s available on YouTube as a full video.Ryan Newman is Portfolio Manager of Motley Fool Pro, a members-only investment service run by The Motley Fool Australia.In the first part of this podcast Ryan and I do what most close friends would do when you chuck a camera and a microphone in front of their face for the first time: we engage in a bit of light hearted chit-chat.Even if you’re not one for a bit of banter and back-and-forth, I implore you to keep listening because the full podcast is incredibly insightful. I get to chat to Ryan each day but this conversation gave me an entire new understanding of how to develop as an analyst, an investor and as a person.Ryan shares priceless wisdom from his favourite Australian investors, including Joe Magyer, Matt Joass and Anirban Mahanti — three investors Ryan was lucky enough to count as colleagues and be mentored by. They’re also three people who have appeared on this podcast, most of them more than once.I also ask Ryan questions like what have what your biggest winners and what did you learn from them? What money advice are you giving to your children?There is something for everyone in this extra special episode of The Australian Investors Podcast. I know you’ll enjoy it.***Join Owen's Rask Invest - A $100 off Owen's ASX research for Investors Podcast listeners***To get 6 months of Owen and the Rask analyst team's ASX research, join Rask Invest: https://bit.ly/aip-discountListeners who want access to high conviction ASX share research, plus ETF models can get $100 off a Rask Invest membership using the discount code "investpod".
