Making Money Online with Lisa Johnson

In this episode I sat down with Nick Leeson, the trader known for bringing down the oldest bank in history. Like many I'd watched the film Rogue Trader, based on Nick's autobiographical book and had questions about resilience and how you build a life and a legacy after such a huge public mistake.

I also wanted to speak to Nick about the work he does now – helping people like me who have been the victims of fraud and how he got to be in this position after being arguably, one of the most famous fraudsters himself. The collapse of Barings Bank and Nick Leeson's role in it is one of the most spectacular debacles in financial history, leading to a stay in a Singapore prison for Nick.

Three decades on, Mr Leeson continues to use his experiences to deliver a cautionary tale on the environment that led to the downfall of the bank, as well as his personal views on the current state of the economy and finance industry, and insights on risk management, company culture and mental well-being. In this episode you'll learn about how to move on, what legacy really means and also some tips on how to spot online frauds today. https://www.nickleeson.com Link to free Telegram: https://t.me/Nick_Leeson_Trading_Channel_FREE Link to Podcast: Rogue Trader Podcast - YouTube This podcast is sponsored by Autm.

In this episode, I sit down with Regina Martin and Lindsay McGlone, two business friends of mine who are very vocal and bold about what we're missing when it comes to inclusion in the online space.

I wanted to ask those questions that we hear in spaces that they aren't in – many of us have seen the eye rolls, felt frustrated by the increasing need to consider more and more in our stage lineups and often feel like we're never doing enough. I wanted to talk openly in a non judgemental space about these issues and so that's exactly what we did.

In this episode, you'll gain more of an understanding of what's important when it comes to inclusion and why with practical tips on where to start.

This is the final episode of Making Money Online! Instead of the usual business topics I am using this episode to give you all a preview of my new podcast which is launching very soon - At Home with the Johnsons.

Today I will be talking with none other than my husband and co-host of the new podcast - Sam. We touch on a few topical issues to give you a taste of what's to come on At Home with The Johnsons.

What we cover in this episode:

- How cancel culture and being offended seems to affect even the most seemingly innocent discussions and prevents us from expressing opinions and having conversions and debates

- The importance of going to the original source and forming your own opinion about what other people have said rather than using 2nd or 3rd hand accounts

- Lisa and Sam's (slightly) differing opinions on smartphone free childhood and how they approach smartphone use within their family
