Imogen is a National Geographic expedition scientist. A Marine biologist by training specialising in plastics and their effects on nature.  Her research has lead to a ban of microbeads in cosmetics internationally, discovering biodegradable bags still function after 3 years at the bottom of the ocean and recognised the presence of microplastics at the summit of Everest. We discuss ways of tackling our waste including the great Pacific garbage patch. The deceptive nature of 'biodegradable' and parasites that can target plastics, ancestral living and other divergent paths.  Instagram: @imogennapper Instagram: @alan.trim

Andrew has been a financial analyst in London for over 15 years. Holding numerous senior positions including head of research at Mint Financial before founding FundHunter.co. An independent website focused on identifying the best investment funds. I have been a paid subscriber of his content for over a year and am blown away by his due diligence, humbleness and compassion to see the lay investor benefit from compound interest.  We naturally discuss funds, particularly gaming, which is a wonderful opportunity. The perils of single equities and the sexy investors who win big. Fund investing is appropriate for the majority of people who wish to enter the markets but do not have the time to actively scrutinise their portfolio. You can start with as little as £100. Nothing contained in this podcast is financial advice. Twitter: @fundhunter_co www.fundhunter.co
