Few books have shaped how people think about money like Rich Dad Poor Dad.

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Robert Kiyosaki for a wide-ranging conversation on money, skills, failure, and financial education — from the untold stories behind Rich Dad Poor Dad to why Kiyosaki believes most people were never taught how money actually works.

Robert shares his earliest attempts at “getting rich,” the painful lessons from his first real company, and how those experiences shaped his views on assets, debt, and entrepreneurship. He explains why skills matter more than jobs or degrees, why learning to sell and raise capital is foundational, and why experience beats theory when it comes to money.

This episode also dives into the origin of the Cashflow 101 board game, how learning through repetition changes behavior, and what parents can start teaching their children today to build financial intelligence early.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The childhood story that inspired Rich Dad Poor Dad
• Why Robert Kiyosaki calls modern money “fake”
• Lessons from his first failed company and bad partnerships
• The three core skills Kiyosaki says create wealth
• Why learning to sell starts with rejection and repetition
• How “failing faster” builds confidence
• Why Cashflow 101 teaches money better than lectures
• The difference between assets and liabilities — in real life
• How debt can be used to build wealth or destroy it
• What parents can teach kids about money starting now

What if investing could be simple, clear, and grounded in rules instead of emotion?

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Darren Winters, one of Europe’s most respected investment trainers, to unpack the mindset and strategies behind long-term financial confidence.

Darren shares his journey from deep debt and a £30,000 loss to learning directly from world-class traders — often by working for them without pay just to gain access to their knowledge. He explains how he built a repeatable, rule-driven approach to trading that allows him to manage his investments in just 30 minutes per week.

Across this conversation, you’ll hear real stories, practical guidance, and the simple frameworks Darren uses to help complete beginners understand probability, discipline, and the opportunities hidden inside market fear.

Inside This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why emotion leads investors to make the worst decisions at the worst times
• How Darren rebuilt his life after losing £30,000
• The power of making decisions based on probability, not prediction
• A story of teaching an 8-year-old to make money in two hours
• How successful traders remove stress by following simple rules
• Why Darren believes the next market downturn will create major opportunities
• How beginners can practice safely using demo accounts
• The real difference between complicated trading and effective trading
• Why you only need one good strategy to start growing your money

What if success had nothing to do with talent, luck, or background — and everything to do with a few simple choices you repeat every day?

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul (600+ million copies sold), author of The Success Principles, and one of the most influential teachers in personal development.

Jack opens up about the early rejections, the breakthroughs, the frameworks he still uses today, and the mindset that allowed him to go from a struggling teacher to one of the most impactful authors of all time.

Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Why belief is a choice, not a feeling
• How Jack stayed resilient after 144 publisher rejections
• The “Rule of Five” that turned Chicken Soup into a global movement
• Why most people climb the wrong ladder and feel empty when they reach the top
• The power of feedback in relationships, business, and leadership
• How to discover your life purpose using three practical exercises
• Why joy is the ultimate sign you are on the right path
• The mindset shift that separates dreamers from consistent achievers
• Why success takes consistency, not intensity
• How to create a purpose-driven life instead of chasing external validation
