FYI
A resource that we’re continuously building is our book recommendations page.
Over the Equity Mates journey so far, we’ve had hundreds of expert investors join us on the show. And each time we interview them, we ask for a book recommendation that helped them.
Some of them are investing specific, others are business-based and some are just great all-round reads. You can check out the book recommendation list here.
And Finally
If you missed out on FinFest this year, don’t worry! We’ve been releasing the recordings of each session on our YouTube Channel. There is so much amazing content on there.
