Back to podcasts

By Capital Partners Podcast | The Purposeful Investor

Aden Wilkins and David Andrew explore the psychology behind financial decision-making, drawing insights from Morgan Housel’s award-winning book, The Psychology of Money. They discuss key concepts such as why no one’s financial mindset is irrational, the difference between getting wealthy and staying wealthy, and why true wealth is often invisible.

They also explore how different people play different financial games, emphasising the importance of understanding your own financial journey rather than comparing it to others. This episode is packed with practical wisdom on smart money habits, avoiding common pitfalls, and making financial decisions that align with your goals.
