Property mogul and investing powerhouse Paul Smith joins Lewis and Sophie live from Twickenham for a fast-paced masterclass on building wealth the smart way. Paul shares how he bought his first house before 18, flipped multiple properties by 23, and then tripled £30k on a takeover bet—kick-starting a lifelong obsession with asset classes. We dig into why diversification matters, the pros and cons of property vs. stocks vs. gold, the power of leverage, and why many tech darlings won’t pass the “dividends and PE” sniff test. Paul explains Buffett’s maxim—“risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing”—and why that led him to become a STARTrading student to master short-term trading the right way.

You’ll hear candid takes on private banks and fees, how to vet any educator (“do you do it yourself?”), four non-negotiable rules for starting out, and the underrated force multiplier of community. Plus: live-event vibes, monthly oil trade chat, and a hilarious “secret snack” segment that spirals into buffet ethics, moldy bread survival stories, and whether pocketing breakfast fruit is frugal or foul.

You’ll learn: practical diversification logic, a simple framework to reduce risk through education, and how to surround yourself with people who actually do the thing—one trade at a time.
