Bryce: [00:00:57] Welcome to Get Started Investing feed Equity Mates. My name is Bryce and I am joined by my co-host, Alec, who is sitting right next to me, and we are super pumped to be bringing you this mini series on, I guess, building the fundamentals and all there is to know about investing Ren. [00:01:11][14.7]

Alec: [00:01:12] Yes, everyone knows that they should be investing. It's a critical life skill and it's really important to build that nest egg and to build some financial freedom. But we, like a lot of people, had no idea where to start. We didn't study it. We didn't work in the field and we were just overwhelmed by the jargon and everything that goes along with it. So two and a bit years ago, we started a podcast, Equity Mates investing podcast. And through that journey, we've learnt a bunch about the market and how to start investing. We now wanted to do our first spinoff series, our first standalone series, where we break down all the lessons to help get everyone started on their investing journey. [00:01:53][41.2]

Bryce: [00:01:54] Get Started Investing feed is everything that you've wanted to know about investing in language that you can understand. We will be your host the entire time, and I can guarantee you these episodes will be entertaining as Ren tries to practise his comedic career [00:02:06][12.8]

Alec: [00:02:08] and you learn to articulate words [00:02:10][1.7]

Bryce: [00:02:11] there is going to be no jargon and no B.S. And these are designed to help you build your knowledge and access history's greatest wealth creating machine. Ren one of your favourite lines there is around the stock market. [00:02:22][11.3]

Alec: [00:02:23] That's it. Join us as we take you on the journey from knowing how to sign up to a broker, what research, what information you need all the way through to buying your first stock and starting your investing journey. And then when you're done here, come across to our main podcast, feed the Equity Mates Investing podcast and join the community that we're building there as we all go on this investing journey together and try and make some money in these markets.

Meet your hosts

  • Alec Renehan

    Alec Renehan

    Alec developed an interest in investing after realising he was spending all that he was earning. Investing became his form of 'forced saving'. While his first investment, Slater and Gordon (SGH), was a resounding failure, he learnt a lot from that experience. He hopes to share those lessons amongst others through the podcast and help people realise that if he can make money investing, anyone can.
  • Bryce Leske

    Bryce has had an interest in the stock market since his parents encouraged him to save 50c a fortnight from the age of 5. Once he had saved $500 he bought his first stock - BKI - a Listed Investment Company (LIC), and since then hasn't stopped. He hopes that Equity Mates can help make investing understandable and accessible. He loves the Essendon Football Club, and lives in Sydney.
