About this episode

This episode explores the intersection of ethical investing and personal values with guest Lily Richards.

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟 This week, Soph sits down with Lily from Pathfinder ( https://pathfinder.kiwi/ ) to untangle the delightfully messy world of ethical investing aka, what happens when your money wants to grow, but your conscience would also like a word. Lily shares her own money story, from growing up in a household where “ordinary” was basically a swear word, to becoming the main earner in her family, to realising that financial independence is about so much more than just having cash in the bank. Together, they unpack why women are so drawn to values-led investing, why “good” and “profitable” don’t have to be mortal enemies, and how to think critically about tricky investing dilemmas like Tesla, tech companies, weapons, climate, conflict and greenwashing. It’s thoughtful, nuanced, occasionally existential, and proof that money and morals can sit at the same table, even if they argue over the bill. 👉 Got a money-and-morals dilemma?
