In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel is joined by finance expert Ben Knight to explore the realities of wealth and investment. They discuss the emotional pitfalls of chasing wealth, the ongoing nature of investment goals, and the concept of 'silent inflation' that can erode your financial gains. Ben shares his personal journey from modest beginnings to financial expertise, emphasising continuous learning and smart decision-making.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

People attach so much emotion to the idea of ‘when I’m rich, life will be better’, but they don’t see that actually it’s the effort and the journey that matters.
There’s no end-point to investment, you reach one goal and then the goal and your lifestyle changes.
When you feel like you’re winning in business and you’ve reached that level, you then unlock the next level and so then you’re back at the beginning again.
Silent inflation is what actually kills people’s wealth. Everyone should be investing because if you’re not, inflation will wipe you out and you won’t even notice it.
If you’re making a business decision, particularly big businesses, you have to make them about the RPI (Retail Price Index) and no one’s telling you that.
I didn’t start off with a massive bank balance I could start investing with. Instead, I spent an awful lot of time learning something new about money every day.
