Most people spend their lives working for money.
Lewis Crompton learned how to make money work for him.

From a burned-out retail worker to an international trading mentor, Lewis reveals how he quit his job in just seven months — and built a life where freedom, not fear, drives every decision.

In this episode of The Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, host Daniel Wood sits down with wealth coach and Star Trading founder Lewis Crompton, one of the UK’s leading voices on financial freedom.

Lewis shares how he went from counseling in the church to trading the markets, why “a salary is the bribe they give you to give up on your dreams,” and how his rules-based trading method now helps thousands earn consistent monthly returns in less than 30 minutes a day.

This isn’t another “get rich quick” story — it’s a roadmap for creating time, money, and purpose through skill, not luck.
