Tips & Tricks as a Guest

To help get the real you across and best inspire the listeners, I’ve prepared a list of questions I’d like to ask you during the show. These questions are split into five separate sections that, together, will help us to unravel your journey, where you’re going, and your invaluable advice around investing.
