Dear Vestpoders,

I hope you are having a good week! 

🙋Today, we want to talk to you about investing. As you know, one of our most popular workshops is Introduction to Investing - we have seen 500 of you in person since launching it (and that does not include our corporate clients)! Most of the time we sell out 3 weeks before the event... Today, Veronica, our freelance content pro is writing about why investing can be so scary and overcoming your fear of investing.

📺You can now watch the replay on Youtube as well as read the notes of our Vestpod Series event about “Changing your money mindset in 2020” with Holli Rubin and Urenna Okonkwo.

📩We’ve interviewed the lovely Simi, founder of Ungalleried about what money means to her and how she achieved her dream of working for herself and running a gallery, and we have our usual anonymous money diary. 

🎧On my side, I have been interviewed on a few podcasts over the past few weeks, so please check out our Vestpod in the news section! Two days ago, I spoke at a sold out event organised by the new Hoxton Southwark Hotel and Refinery29: Get Rich(ish) Quick with the awesome Jess Commons (Refinery29), Mariam Jimoh (Oja, WCAN) and Laura Whateley (journalist and author of Money: A User’s Guide), it was great fun!

Have a good day - and feel free to email me any feedback you have on the newsletter or events!
