Aden Wilkins and David Andrew explore the psychology behind financial decision-making, drawing insights from Morgan Housel’s award-winning book, The Psychology of Money. They discuss key concepts such as why no one’s financial mindset is irrational, the difference between getting wealthy and staying wealthy, and why true wealth is often invisible. 

They also explore how different people play different financial games, emphasising the importance of understanding your own financial journey rather than comparing it to others.
