Content Style: Community Guests

Bryce and Alec sit down with Natasha Etschmann - who documents her investing journey on Instagram and TikTok under the handle @tashinvests. Tash talks about her million dollar investing goal, investing for the first time when she was just eighteen, property versus investing, and her ultimate goal of achieving financial freedom and what that looks like... without sacrificing the things you she wants to enjoy along the way.

In this episode we sit down with Phil Muscatello from the podcast 'Shares for Beginners', for a dual interview, where we compare notes about starting an investing podcast, favourite guests we've talked to, our biggest learning curves, and developing investing philosophies.

In this episode we speak to Equity Mates community member, Candice, about her investing journey. Candice shares her experience getting started and her goal to achieve financial independence and retire early. We break down the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement and understand how Candice puts the lessons she’s learnt into practice with her investing decisions. We also bust some common investing myths and Candice shares some of her favourite resources that helped her get started investing.

As part of the launch of our Get Started Investing: ETFs For Beginners series, we held a 'Build An ETF' competition. The rules were simple: submit an idea for an ETF that is unique, has room for growth and would be appealing to investors.

In this episode we check-in on Rohan after he's made his first investment, to discuss the idea of dollar-cost-averaging, portfolio construction, and to answer all of his questions.

In this episode we unpack what Rohan can invest in and how. He's keen on ETFs and a few individual stocks, so we begin by understanding what is available on CommSec pocket, and how the options fit with Rohan's investing ambitions. By the end of the episode, Rohan actually makes his first investment!

In this episode we address all the basic questions that Rohan has when it comes to starting his journey, from what broker to use, "what investment will make me the most money?", his investing goals plus much more. Rohan asks the questions that you also likely have.

Molly Benjamin is the founder of Ladies Finance Club in Australia. We talk to Molly about what the club is, and why she started it, how the move to Australia has gone, if she's noticed attitudes towards money change over the last few years, and her top investing myths that she wants to bust.

New Financial Year seems like a good time to review the predictions we made at the start of the year (also Bryce's book still hasn't arrived for our monthly bookclub - thanks Amazon - so we've had to delay that).
