Episode notes

In this episode, I take you all the way back to where my investing journey began. Spoiler: it wasn’t glamorous — it involved peer-to-peer lending platforms, random gold purchases, and a lot of confusion. I didn’t grow up around people who invested, and everything I know now was self-taught, often through trial and error.

I talk about:

  • How I started with gold, silver, and even platinum
  • The early mistakes that taught me the most (hello, P2P lending...)
  • Why I avoided the stock market at first — and what changed

If you're new to investing or still feeling unsure, this one’s especially for you. It’s not too late, you’re not behind, and you don’t need a six-figure salary to start building wealth. Just take one step.
