It’s all too easy to dismiss people these days but this wasn’t always possible. Subjects that can be skirted face-to-face come to the fore on social media. We talk about strategies for dealing with people who give us those red flags.

The British government released a report on the “benefits” of Brexit this week and it is so heavily predicated on questionable premises, and so one-sidedly targeted to a pro-Brexit audience, that it is difficult to discuss.

Episode 193 - InvestingWe’ve been experimenting with “assets”. How do you make money work for you? How do you play the game when you realise that for rich people, money isn’t a thing you earn and spend, it’s a magical up-and-down merry go round of arbitrary financial gain.
