Glen Goodman is a leading figure in investing and cryptocurrency. He is also a bestselling author and increasingly sought-after conference speaker. With a career spanning more than two decades, he has established himself as one of the most respected voices in finance and crypto. His commentary and insights are regularly featured across major broadcasters such as the BBC, LBC, and Bloomberg, and his reputation as a trusted guide through fast-changing markets has made him a regular contributor to the London School of Economics.
Glen’s journey began in the dotcom era, where he first started trading and developing his expertise in the volatile world of markets. Alongside his financial pursuits, he worked as a business correspondent for ITV and the BBC, interviewing political leaders including Theresa May, David Cameron, and Boris Johnson, as well as Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith. His journalistic background gave him a sharp ability to analyse, communicate, and break down complex subjects for diverse audiences.
A turning point in his career came in 2008 when Glen transformed a modest £3,000 trade into £100,000 by predicting the financial crash, an achievement that earned him significant recognition. From there, he transitioned into full-time investing, becoming one of the most followed traders on social media, with over 200,000 followers on his educational page, The Shares Guy. Glen was among the earliest to recognise the opportunities presented by cryptocurrency, successfully navigating its highs and avoiding major pitfalls such as the Bitcoin crash of 2018. His book, ‘The Crypto Trader’, became an international bestseller, was translated into multiple languages, and cemented his position as a leading authority in the field. He has also contributed his expertise in unique contexts, serving as an Expert Witness in a high-profile drug smuggling case by interpreting crypto trading records.

His appearances span respected outlets including Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Forbes, Reuters, and The Telegraph, where his insights are trusted by global audiences.
