This is a special episode. Ian, a previous course student, joins me to discuss his investing journey... and he drops a lot of gems!

From not even having a credit card and selling at a 3p loss due to nervousness.

To now having a Stocks & Shares ISA and SIPP, and a workplace pension he's taken control of, investing for the long term.

If you're a nervous investor or a beginner investor, this episode will be perfect for you.

It will help you out and show just how much you can change within a few months.
