Why We Created Investling Insights: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Reality
At Investling, our mission has always been lifelong learning in investing—delivered in a way that's trustworthy, transparent, and community-first. We know from our interactions with learners that traditional finance education often falls short. It's either too academic and detached, or overloaded with unstructured, guru-style promises that erode trust. That's where Investling Insights comes in. We wanted to create a space for genuine, supportive dialogues that feel like chatting with a knowledgeable friend over coffee.
Georg Klausner, with his background in founding Investling, brings a no-nonsense approach to hosting. He'll interview experts across industries to uncover how they've navigated risks, built portfolios, and achieved stability. Think EduTech pioneers who turned 1990s AI research into modern microlearning platforms, actuaries teaching kids money skills before they can count, or franchise leaders blending Brazilian craft with Japanese precision for global expansion. These aren't theoretical talks; they're stories rooted in real estate, venture capital, fixed income, and alternatives—drawing from the same foundational principles we teach in our courses.
The podcast aligns perfectly with our brand personality: sincere and genuine, without the elitism. It's modern and digital-native, leveraging an AI-driven format for exploratory learning, while providing structured insights and reliable tools. Most importantly, it evokes calm confidence, reducing anxiety by emphasizing agency, self-efficacy, and psychological safety. As a busy professional, you'll appreciate the bite-sized wisdom that fits into your commute to and from work.
The Rhythm of Investling Insights: A Structured Yet Engaging Format
Each episode ofI nvestling Insights runs 30-80 minutes, striking a reliable rhythm that's easy to follow—even if you're multitasking. We break it down into four key segments to keep things flowing and actionable:
- Origin & Mindset: Guests share their personal journeys, cultural influences, and evolving views on risk, failure, and opportunity. This sets a relatable tone, showing how mindset shifts can turn intimidation into empowerment. For instance, hear how an EduTech founder overcame early failures to build a platform that democratizes learning—mirroring the self-efficacy we aim to instill in you.
- Core Strategies: Dive into tactics like asset allocation, behavioral rules, diversification with ETFs/bonds/real assets, and avoiding common pitfalls. These discussions echo our course modules, where we cover passive vs. active approaches, or Fixed Income & Alternative Investments, exploring bonds, ETFs, and commodities. Guests provide real-world examples, like using bond ladders for steady income or thematic investing in sustainable assets.
- Industry Applications: Learn how portfolio construction, passive vs. active strategies, or alternative investments apply to everyday goals. Whether it's a franchise leader discussing global expansion risks or a real estate expert on fixed income alternatives, these insights make abstract concepts tangible. It's like extending our Module 3: Portfolio Construction Basics, where we teach asset allocation as your portfolio's blueprint.
- Recurring Wisdom: Every guest answers five reflective questions to tie it all together: How has failure set you up for later success? In the past 4 years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life? What is one of the best investments you've ever made? What advice would you give a smart young student entering the real world—and what should they ignore? Who should we invite next?
This structure ensures episodes are competent and evidence-based, with checklists and tools you can apply immediately. No overwhelming, unstructured information overflow—just polished, credible content that feels premium yet accessible.
How Investling Insights Resonates with You: Tailored to Your Life and Goals
If time is your scarcest resource,Investling Insights delivers quick, structured takeaways in under an hour. Episodes reduce your mental load by clarifying jargon and providing step-by-step guidance, turning "I'll deal with investing later" into "I'm taking control, and it's not that hard."
If you're a lifelong learner, the podcast fuels your curiosity with innovative formats. Guests' stories of investing in crypto or sustainability funds align with your values of freedom and self-mastery, helping you build a flexible plan that fits irregular income. It's exploratory learning at its best.
But also, if you are risk-aware, your family-focused mindset will love the emphasis on security and long-term planning. Guests will share how they've protected their money while generating income. Episodes replace fear with calm satisfaction: "Our future is organized."
Across all personas, the podcast builds emotional connection. It celebrates progress with motivational stories, fosters belonging through community-first vibes, and prioritizes psychological safety by avoiding hype. Research from behavioral finance shows that emotional pitfalls like panic selling cost investors 3-5% annually—Investling Insights equips you with tools to avoid them, drawing from real experts who've been there.

Investling Insights isn't standalone—it's the storytelling companion to our bite-sized courses, designed for ~8 hours per module over a week.
