Making Money

Kindling Media

Learn how to build wealth - investing, pensions, the psychology of money - even things like how to get a payrise. We’re not taught about money so most of us don’t know how to build long term wealth, but with a bit more knowledge and confidence you can change your financial future. Our focus is on the big stuff, teaching you the strategies and mindset shifts that can have a significant impact on your life. This is the financial education we wish we'd had. Hosted by Damien Jordan (YouTube @DamienTalksMoney) and Timeyin Akerele. Contact us: makingmoney@kindling.media
