About this episode

How do I start investing? 


It is a common question. When you’re new to the world of investing you’re confronted by a confusing world of jargon, charts and data, overlaid with the fact that you’re risking your hard earned money. 


It is a confusing world. And you’re not alone. 


We’ve been through it, and in this episode we share everything we’ve learned. How we got started and how we’d get started knowing everything we know now.
