Decade of Financial Clarity in Under an Hour

22 Jan

Anum — The Platinum CEO

Morgan’s synthesis of ten years of money wisdom into a single conversation is both rare and profound. The way he distills long-term thinking, behavioural insight, and financial temperament shifts mindsets, not just portfolios. Listeners who absorb this will walk away with a clearer relationship to risk, patience, and true wealth. Thanks for making such quality thinking accessible.
Don’t be put off my the title

A friend recommended this, and I was dubious about the title. But these guys are so genuine and generous and passionate about innovating, and I find it really inspiring. Totally worth a listen if you want to be inspired to create something of value.

Been a long time listener but I’m not a reviewer of content. The back to back episodes of George Mack and Nick Gray meant I had no option to finally drop the five starts. Well done guys they’re more than deserved.
