Whether you're cramming for a test, prepping for a job interview or just expanding your already awesome knowledge, you need the facts. Finance Facts. Each episode presents a single topic, typically lasting just a few minutes.

Presenter Dave Coker has over 25 years of Investment Banking and Financial Services experience, starting on Wall Street with Dow Jones in 1987, Dave moved to Deutsche Bank in 1992 where he spent the bulk of his career. Still with Deutsche Bank, Dave relocated to Europe in the late 1990s, later taking positions with ABN AMRO and Moody’s.

Dave started teaching finance in 2017 and quickly realised today’s students prefer to learn digitally, rather than by reading books. The problem with learning digitally is often fundamental financial concepts explored in the context of a broader topic.

Dave’s podcasts allows listeners to learn necessary financial facts. This helps sitting an exam, being interviewed for a job or just expanding your knowledge.
