Join FT columnist and personal finance expert Jason Butler as he interviews real people about their money journey and challenges and how they overcame them.
This week I speak to Nick Earls and Eric DiNicola, co-founders and principals of Winterspring Capital, a company looking to simplify the process of passive real estate investing.
Nick and Eric share the highs and lows of their empire-building journey and some of the most important things they learnt along the way.
This week I speak to Jamie York, a rapidly rising star in the world of property investment and Managing Director at Aspire Property Group.
Jamie bought his first investment property whilst at university. Through his property consultancy, Aspire, Jamie works closely with investors to build a profitable and growing portfolio of rental properties across the UK.

This week I speak to Ellie Swift, entrepreneur and marketing and mindset coach.
Ellie left her corporate job to pursue her dream of running her own business. Investing her time and energy into her company, Swift Ventures, she built a multi-six figure business in under two years through the power of online marketing strategy, social media and mindset.
This week I speak to Shahar Abrams, experienced crypto investor and professional in the blockchain industry, on a mission to improve personal finance education nationally.
Travelling down the data science route, Shahar worked at IBM for a number of years. When he came across Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad, it put him in a frame of mind to focus more on active investing for himself. Specifically, he wanted to dive deeper into crypto assets, and has been developing his investment strategy through trial and error ever since.

This week I speak to Kizzy Parks, president of KPC, a Florida-based consultancy team.
Since 2008, Kizzy’s consultancy firm has been at the forefront of customised services that meet the needs of Federal agencies in the US. But when Kizzy first embarked on her entrepreneurial journey, she had $600,000 of debt and a company just about hitting breakeven.
A superb interview from which a lot of inspiration can be drawn. You can connect with Kizzy here.
This week I speak to Max Rofagha, a man on a mission to build the world's largest and most engaged finance community at finimize.com.
Wanting to financially educate himself, Max was perplexed at the complexity and reliability of financial resources available. This gave him his next business idea: to explain to every day people in under 3 minutes, what is happening in the world of finance and why you should care.

This week I speak to Mark Brinkley, author of The Housebuilder's Bible and freelance writer.
Mark offers some invaluable insights as to why we are obsessed with property as a way of building wealth.
And, although it might not be an obvious route, building your own house can be an option for building financial security and wealth.
I also discuss apprentices as well as how much do you spend compared to the average?
