Oui, I’ve had the premium version for free before interviews before but found that more overwhelming a resource due to the volume they then give you, so would definitely just recommend the free newsletter initially- PositiveVibesOnly

they give you a business news summary that you can read in around 3 minutes. Really accessible language, daily emails. Just really easy going and most stories are broken down into 1) what’s going on 2) what does it mean 3) why should I care. So it’s applied/contextual- PositiveVibesOnly

Know I wasn’t tagged but would really reiterate some of the sources Jacob said - immensely recommend Finimize, the daily FT podcast is great whilst having a coffee in the morning, also I went through Investopedia’s dictionary terms to make sure I understood any business terms that could have...- PositiveVibesOnly

I was out walking my dog at around sunset whilst on the phone to my boyfriend and had to abruptly cut him off as an unknown number was calling.
