LIVE WELL WITH MICHELLE: What Listeners Really Chose and Presence

Passive income goes head-to-head as ETF investing battles dividend growth investing in a lively showdown, as we ask which investing style might be best suited to be the main pillar for anyone's portfolio?

Tim Phillips argues for the long-term power of ETFs, while Willie Keng makes the case for intelligent dividend investing.

The debate dives into whether ETFs are still good diversifiers given market concentration, why dividend investing may not just be for retirees, and what really grows wealth over time.

There’s also an unexpected “easter egg” in the episode, as both guests reveal a powerful investing moment from their own journeys.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guests Tim Phillips, Founder, TimTalksMoney (https://www.timtalksmoney.com) and Willie Keng, Founder, Dividend Titan. (https://www.dividendtitan.com)
