Our Editor's Take

We Study Billionaires - The Investor's Podcast Network is the show for those wishing to become better investors. The podcast started in 2014 and has enjoyed a strong audience ever since. Over time, the show has changed its configuration to more relevant current information. It's now divided into three segments, each with its own exciting content. Listeners may find intriguing strategies from the best in the business.

We Study Billionaires - The Investor's Podcast Network has three "shows" in one podcast feed. The first show is "We Study Billionaires." This show has three rotating hosts. Clay Finck hosts the Monday show, and Trey Lockerbie does Thursdays. Stig Brodersen releases episodes every second Saturday.

"Richer, Wiser, Happier" is the second set of episodes for We Study Billionaires - The Investor's Podcast Network. The host is William Green, author of the bestselling book with the same title. In his segment, Green discusses how the best investors have won in their markets and life. These episodes center on investing in share markets and living a fulfilling life. Listeners will find these episodes on the alternate Saturdays to Stig's show.

The third set of episodes is "Bitcoin Fundamentals," which started in 2020. Preston Pysh leads interviews with key players in the bitcoin and macroeconomic arena. He's spoken to people like Jeff Booth, Michael Saylor, Luke Gromen, and more. The podcast releases these episodes on Tuesdays.

We Study Billionaires - The Investor's Podcast Network is an illuminating show. Listeners can choose which part of the podcast is most relevant to them. This might be listening to high-profile billionaire guests. They include people like Guy Spiers or Howard Marks. Or would Bitcoin pique their interest? It might even be both! One of the ultimate benefits of this show is the chance for the listener to decide for themselves.
