STRONG MONEY PODCAST

For those of you following my Strong Money pod, you’ll have seen I dropped the audio version of this week’s article there first.

This is something I’ll probably do every now and then if I feel a topic is important enough to sit in the podcast library. Other than that I’ll keep revising and updating my best older topics for you to enjoy.

I think we’ll end up with around 70-100 killer podcasts that encompass the key lessons from my content since 2017. It’ll be like a ‘Greatest Hits’ album. After that, I’m not sure…

Listen here on Spotify, Apple, or on the website

P.S. If you’re enjoying the show, please share the podcast with someone you know and help spread the message to more people.

Your job is not who you are, it’s just something you do. Getting your entire sense of identity from one single thing is going to prevent you from claiming your freedom when you can afford to.


People are losing their minds given the global uncertainty, so it pays to zoom out and remember the following. Most of your wealth will come from just a few things: how much you invest, what you invest in, and how long you leave it there. The rest is just noise.


Keeping your lifestyle the same as your income grows is the greatest personal finance hack that almost nobody does.

My new book on semi-retirement, transitioning to freedom and learning to enjoy your wealth is out now. Learn more at the links below.
