Episode Details

Simon Popple is an investment educator focused on helping people understand not just why to invest in gold, but how to actually do it properly. With a background in property and finance, he saw the risk of inflation early and made a strategic shift toward gold investing.

Despite gold being one of the oldest and most talked-about assets in history, very few people truly understand how to invest in it effectively. In this practical conversation, Simon breaks it down clearly so you can see how gold fits into a modern investment strategy — especially if you’re in your 20s and thinking long-term.

In this episode, Simon shares:

• How he thought about money and investing in his 20s

• Why traditional paths (equities, bonds, property) aren’t enough on their own

• What made him take inflation seriously

• Why gold is a true global asset

• Common misconceptions about buying and holding gold

• The practical ways to invest in gold today (physical, funds, companies)

If you’re in your 20s starting to build wealth and want clear, no-hype guidance on protecting against inflation with gold, this episode is for you.
