In this episode of the nestegg Podcast, Michael joins host Grace Ormsby to outline exactly what these characteristics are, the difference between high-risk and low-risk appetites, and how investors can apply different strategies depending on their own personality type.

Michael also explains how fear can be both helpful and a hindrance for confident decision making, why failure is a crucial process for investors seeking growth, and where budding investors can begin educating themselves about the markets.
