The Meaningful Money Personal Finance Podcast

Woohoo - it's another new season! I've had a few weeks to get this one together while you've been listening to some great inbetweenisodes. This season is going to be a belter, but then I would say that...!

Plenty of you a spreading the word about MeaningfulMoney to your friends and family, but we can all do more! So I thought I'd take five-ish minutes to highlight some great ways to share the MeaningfulMoney goodness to everyone that needs to hear it.

Let me introduce you to Kaloyan Tsilev, my right-hand man here at MeaningfulMoney. In this last Inbetweenisode before we get going with Season 14, Kal and I chew the fat about what's coming in 2019 with the podcast, the socialz, and Meaningful Academy.

Pound cost averaging - is it about maths and investment success, or is it about human emotion and behaviour?

Long-time listener Matt P was at the November meet up in London which I held with Damien Fahy of Money to The Masses. At the meet up, Matt presented me with a gift of a book called Investing Demystified by Lars Kroijer. This latter book is an outstanding work dealing with the fundamentals of investing, and today, thanks to Matt putting us in touch, I get to chat with Lars himself. I'm telling you, it's a great conversation!

I talk a lot about core and satellite investing here on MeaningfulMoney, but what is it, and why is it important for YOUR investment success?

I get asked at least once per week for advice on how to become a financial adviser, and for ages I've thought that I really should sit down and deal with the subject definitively so that in future I can just reply to these good people with a link! Today I'm going to consider everything you need to know and everything you need to do if you fancy a career in financial advice.

Peer-to-peer lending is entering the mainstream - you can even hold it in an ISA now. But what is it, and should you consider it for your investment portfolio?

There are still precious few personal finance podcasts here in the UK, let alone shows with hundreds of episodes. One such is Money To The Masses, led by my good friend and real kindred spirit, Damien Fahy. Today I chat to Damien about his new tool, the Money MOT.

London Capital and Finance recently went under taking £263million of investors' money with them. What are some key lessons we can learn from this that might prevent you from being caught in future?

My guest today is a man I have admired in our profession since forever. He's a larger than life personality who fills a room when he enters it, and in a good way! And he has built a great business helping ordinary folks put in place life protection to secure their family's financial future.

Dave Ramsey is a personal finance megastar in the US. His daily radio show is syndicated across the states and around the world in the form of a podcast. He has helped countless people achieve financial peace - I'm a big fan, but sometimes he needs, well, Anglicising a bit!
