Mike and Alex walk through the history of index investing, address common criticisms, and provide step-by-step guidance for building your own index fund portfolio.


Whether you're just starting your investing journey or looking to optimize your existing strategy, this episode offers valuable insights that could transform your approach to building wealth.
