About this episode

This is a special reboot episode. Imagine this...a bunch of really smart people sitting around and deciding to invent a financial product that would democratize investing and save investors like you and me billions of dollars in fees. And thus the invention of the Index Fund - probably the most popular way to invest today. Our guest, Robin Wigglesworth, has written this phenomenal and insightful book called Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever. Whether you are a newbie to index funds or a seasoned pro, Robin is going to share with you the incredible power of index funds, what the heck they are, and why he believes being a little bit lazy is the key to building wealth and financial success.
