There will be no additional charge for you. Remember investments can fall and rise - and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Other fees may apply. Your money is at risk. This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life. --------------------------------------------- You can find out more about Stuart: https://www.stuartgoldsmith.com/ IG : @stuartgoldsmithcomedy LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/stuartgoldsmith Chapters: 00:00 - Making Money as a Street Performer 10:19 - Hiscox ad 11:47 - Learning to Live With Risk 18:52 - Managing Money Without a Salary 26:43 - Vanta ad 28:15 - Why I’ve Never Had a ‘Real Job’ 32:21 - How Much Do Comedians Actually Make? 39:28 - Why Edinburgh Fringe Can Cost Thousands 45:12 - Making Climate Change Funny 50:14 - What 30 Years of Self-Employment Taught Me
