In today's episode, we will speak to my friend Anna, who is an Investor Relations Specialist at Robocash, a P2P lending investing platform. Online peer-to-peer lending platforms are gaining popularity as they are giving investors an alternative form of investing their money. But they also get a bad reputation due to scams, and there is the ethical dilemma one can face when investing in them. So what is peer-to-peer lending all about? And is it safe at all to invest in those platforms? Anna will explain the concepts in a very digestible way and we will discuss the pros and cons of peer-to-peer lending, what you should look out for and we will also tackle the delicate question about the ethics behind it. This episode is for you if you are new to investing in peer-to-peer lending platforms, if you have heard of them and want to know more, or simply because you are not yet sure if it is for you or not.

After an extensive career working with global asset management, Brian founded his company Wealthtender with the aim of connecting people with the best fitting financial resource, educator, or advisor. We will discuss the evolution of digital investing tools throughout his career and why human advice (through a financial advisor, podcasts, blogs, coaches,...) still has a place in today's world. We will also tackle the misconception that one needs to be wealthy in the first place to hire a financial professional. This episode is for you if you have been looking for financial advice around but have not yet found the best financial resource that fits your needs or the best financial professional that you can connect with.
