In today's episode of the podcast I am joined by Michelle Pearce-Burke who is the co-founder of the online investment management company Wealthify.

Michelle began her career as a traditional stockbroker, but was unhappy with some of the barriers to helping people get into investing. She decided that she wanted to be part of the solution to this, and so co-founded Wealthify which makes investing simple, affordable, and accessible. 

In this episode we will bust some common myths;

• I don't have enough money to invest
• Investing is just for the wealthy
• It's simply too risky
• I can't invest because I need access to that money
• You have to be an expert to invest in the stock market
• Investing is the same as gambling
