R P Stevens: The Sloth Investor, Simplifying Investing for All
RP Stevens is the author of The Sloth Investor book, the host of a podcast, and a YouTube channel with the same name. He is a personal finance author & YouTuber. He is committed to educating people about how to invest their money in a common-sense, ‘sloth-like’ manner.
RP firmly believes that the slow-moving, inactive sloth is THE best animal to characterize successful investing.
After we stopped recording, he shared with me how he received a personal note from his proofreader who read the book — instead of a harsh feedback that he feared, he learned the she never thought investing is for her, and now she wants to become an investor herself — to me it’s the best testament to what this book can do for many listeners curious to embrace investing as a lifelong pursuit.
It was a late night recording for RP, early morning for me, we kept talking long after I hit stop — I greatly enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do, too.
