8: CRYPTO₿IRB: The crypto world explained

Finance, one of life’s most important topics, but also one of life’s most daunting topics too. But why? Why do words such as ‘money’ or ‘finance’ still withhold such scary connotations and what can we do better in society to overcome this common fear? There’s no right or wrong answer here, but there are simple changes that can be made to educate and instil greater confidence so that individuals better understand the concept of money and finance. In this episode the pair reveal Trent’s personal obsession with finance and compound interest in particular, why investing (when done right) has greater strengths than risks, if the introduction of new modern-day currencies such as crypto will override traditional concepts and why mainstream banking isn’t always the most sustainable, secure or trustworthy option.

Morning routines and sleeping patterns, we all have them, right? But what does a successful morning routine or sleeping pattern look like? And does this actually even exist? There’s a lot of pressure on individuals and working professionals to get 8+ hours sleep a night, wake up early, meditate, read a book or exercise in order to achieve productivity and success. This simply isn’t the case, no two bodies are the same and everybody’s routine is and should be unique to them. Social media, and the content we see published online glamorises the topic to a new extreme and it’s time to cut the crap. During this episode, Trent and Richard discuss: the importance of finding a routine that works for you, learning to ignore what we see in the media and online, a book by Matthew Walker that completely changed Trent’s perspective, Trent’s questionable choices and experiences during his career as a student at Sainsbury's, and Richard and Trent’s plans to take part in a week long diet to see if it makes any difference to their performance.
