Welcome to One Thing About Money. On this podcast, guests from different walks of life explain the ‘one thing’ they believe everyone should know about money, finance or the economy.

This week's guest is Lucy Mann, a consultant specialising in finding new business – particularly helping smaller, creative agencies. Lucy advocates making life easier through the 'forensic application of process'. She has a terrific podcast called Small Spark Theory where she talks to agency owners, and runs Gunpowder Consulting: https://www.gunpowderconsulting.com/podcasts/. 

Lucy explores the importance of understanding value in a number of ways in this chat, from her days growing up above her parents' second hand shop to valuing one's time (and oneself) through the strategic use of modern tech.

In this episode I talk to Madeleine Kemna, a Dutch economist based in Edinburgh, who I met through the financial history library we have here, The Library of Mistakes, an incredible place which I’ll come back to in future episodes. Madeleine and I are both volunteers for the library, and as you’ll see she’s the most delightful person – really interesting and engaging. Her ‘one thing’ is understanding the value of compounding – especially if you're young.
