About the show

The Investing for Beginners Podcast teaches you how to buy your first stocks and build long-term wealth in the stock market— without the hype or confusing jargon. Hosts Andrew Sather and Stephen Morris break down value investing fundamentals into plain English: how to read financial statements, value a company, avoid common beginner mistakes, and build a long-term portfolio you can actually stick with. Plus, in our At Any Rate episodes with host Evan Raidt, we tackle the personal finance side of wealth building— paying off debt, budgeting, saving, and the money debates every household faces before (and while) investing. Stop chasing "get-rich-quick" schemes and start building your path to financial freedom, one episode at a time. Follow for more.
