Michelle thinks this is going to be a huge bestseller in Singapore and around the world, and it is a book any investor should pick up.

Thomas Chua achieved financial independence at 31 and argues that ordinary investors can build long-term wealth with a focused process that takes as little as an hour a day.

Michelle Martin speaks with Thomas Chua, author of The Lunch Break Investor and founder and investor at Steady Compounding, about how to find companies capable of compounding wealth for years.
