harder words (B2+)
Welcome to Motley Fool Money. It's Sunday. It's special. It's the mailbag. And I can't think of another word, but when I come up with one, it'll be that as well. I am Scott Phillips. He is Andrew Ram Page, the man who puts straw in straw man, as we've said, and puts the raw in straw man in some vague OnlyFans reference,
and also has created a billion-dollar business yet to be formally valued, but we all know that's true. Because, of course, if you do invent Australia's premier online investment,
if you manage it, if you nurture it, if you supervise it, if you support it, if you grow it, if you look after it, well, you've got to get to that sort of valuation.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (82 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
