Episode 287 hosts Dr Felix Bertram, a Dermatologist and serial entrepreneur based in Switzerland.
In this podcast we do something very different and look beyond the business strategies of earning money from aesthetics. We discuss the importance of financial freedom, budgeting, and various investment options such as savings accounts, term deposits, stocks, property, gold, and cryptocurrency.
We emphasize the importance of starting early, understanding the power of compound interest, and seeking professional financial advice. Our conversation also highlights the differences between venture capital, private equity, and the importance of having a succession plan for business owners. The episode ends with practical advice and insights for professionals seeking to enhance their financial literacy and future-proof their wealth.
