Welcome to another captivating episode! Today, we have a special treat for you as we sit down with the brilliant Ed Conway, a prominent figure in economics and journalism.
In the 1980s, Ed Conway's journey began near Oxfordshire, where his love for economics and journalism flourished. After studying English at Oxford University, he earned a scholarship to Harvard, where he pursued his master's degree. Armed with degrees from two of the world's finest institutions, Ed returned to the UK, stepping into the role of correspondent for the Daily Mail.
Ed's career soared as he became the Economics Editor for both The Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph.
