No, it's not a get rich quick scheme...
Instead, in this episode Benjamin shares one of the most important concepts in personal finance: the wonder that is investment compounding.
Benjamin brings this marvellous concept to life through real life examples to help you see (hear) that what can start as humble beginnings can grow into something very special.
Would you rather have £1,000,000 today, or 1p that doubles every day for a month?!
In this episode you'll learn how you can make compounding work for you.
Often all you need is a little time on your hands.

Or should you be an investor?
This episode is your definitive guide.
