The Investors Centre Podcast

In this episode of the Investor Center podcast, Isiah breaks down the "inflation trap" and the silent, persistent erosion of your money’s purchasing power. While maintaining a cash emergency fund for three to six months is sensible, leaving long-term wealth in a savings account can be a "slow loss" because if your interest rate is lower than the inflation rate, your real wealth is actually shrinki...

Imagine two investors starting with the same £50,000, in the same market, over the same 40-year period; one ends up with £240,000 while the other walks away with £380,000—a massive £140,000 difference driven entirely by a 1.9% gap in annual fees. In this episode, we explore the legacy of John Bogle and the birth of the index fund, a tool once mocked by Wall Street as "Bogle’s Folly" that has since...

In this episode of the Investor Center podcast, Isiah explains how to build tax-free wealth using a Stocks and Shares ISA, a powerful financial shield that protects your investment growth, dividends, and interest from HMRC.  Many UK investors pay unnecessary taxes simply because they overlook their annual £20,000 allowance, which must be used before the April 5th deadline or it is lost forever. By...

In this episode, we explore the internal battle every investor faces: the fight against their own biology. We look at why losing £500 feels physically painful while gaining the same amount barely registers, and how this evolutionary "wiring" leads ordinary people to make disastrous financial decisions. We use the psychological research of Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman to explain the three men...

In this episode, we tell the story of Nortel Networks — a company once worth nearly $400 billion that employed 95,000 people across 150 countries. Within a decade it was gone, its share price falling from $124 to zero. And the people who suffered most weren't reckless investors. They were loyal employees who had their retirement savings tied to the same company they worked for. We use the Nortel s...

In this episode of The Investors Centre Podcast, Isiah breaks down arguably the most dramatic collapse in crypto history — the Terra Luna death spiral of May 2022. Terra wasn't some obscure corner of the market. By early 2022 it was the third largest cryptocurrency ecosystem in the world. Luna was trading at over $100 a coin. And at its peak, over $14 billion was deposited into its Anchor Protocol...

In 1977, Warren Buffett wrote that inflation is a "devastating tax" with a fantastic ability to simply consume capital. Nearly 50 years later, UK savers are feeling that reality more than ever. In this episode, Isiah from The Investors Centre breaks down the raw data behind the UK's rising cost of living—including the 28% price rise between 2020 and 2025—and explains why "playing it safe" might be...

In the very first episode of The Investors Centre Podcast, host Isiah introduces who we are, what we do, and why we've decided to start a podcast. Plus, we kick things off with one of the most iconic stories in crypto history — the tale of a software developer who paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas in 2010. Those coins were worth $41 at the time. Today? Over $700 million. It's a story...
