Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money Podcast season 14 episode 5.

This is the podcast dedicated to helping you put your finances in order.

My name is Pete Matthew and I'm going to share with you everything you need to know and everything you need to do to secure

your financial future. I'm here to help you make sense of money.

Here we go. Here we go. Great to have you with me to...

Well, let's talk about money, shall we? That's what we do here and you know what, it's about 50 degrees here in my office I've just been a

guest on another podcast with my good friend Catherine Morgan of the in her

financial shoes podcast so I'm really really hot my throat is really dry but you

know what I still love doing this anyway I just quit complaining let's get on with it

let's talk about risk because risk is an essential part of investing and I think we need to say right off the bat

risk is a good thing

okay now we are conditioned to understand that word risk is a negative thing

usually because it's a risk of loss of some kind.

In today's show though I want to enforce the exact opposite of that.

The risk actually is a good thing and needs to be harnessed.

So that's what we're talking about today.

As usual, after the main body of the show, we'll read a review and look at what we're going to be talking

about next time.

Before all that, they'll remember, this podcast is brought to you with the help of my friends at 7 Investment Management.

They continue to sponsor the show here, been helping me out since 2011.

Super grateful to them for doing so, really could not have built this to what it is without their help.

Also, check out the self-invest website that they've built, which is branded meaningful money.
