A step-by-step premium investing guide for beginners, your path to financial freedom starts now.Dave (00:32):All right, folks, we'll welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode 176 tonight; Andrew and I will talk about three things you can learn from investing, from Shark Tank. This is one of Andrew's favorite shows, and we talk about the episodes from time to time, and it's really interesting stuff.
