In this episode we continue our exploration of Initial Public Offerings (IPO). In the last bonus episode, we got an in-depth understanding of the IPO process at TDM Growth Partners from one of the co-founders, Tom Cowan. We thought it’d be a great idea for Tom to talk us through a real life example of a company considering an IPO.We were pumped to have Steven Marks join us in the studio - the founder and CEO of Guzman y Gomez. It has been an ambition of Steven's to one day take GYG public, so we sat down with him to understand the journey of GYG, what about GYG made it an interesting investment for TDM, and Steve's thoughts about a potential IPO.Again, this was such a fascinating interview - to have two passionate experts in the studio sharing their knowledge and stories was incredible and we hope you get something out of this interview.For more information on TDM, and to receive their information-rich newsletter (seriously, it's awesome!), click here Hosted on Acast.

As a retail investor, we often don't get a lot of insight into what goes on behind closed doors when a company goes from being private to public, and is listed on the stock exchange. It is critical to get the process right, to set up a company, and its investors, for long-term success.Over the next two episodes we get a view inside the process TDM Growth Partners use when they help companies through an Initial public Offering. It's fascinating. To help us through it, we sat down with Tom Cowan.Tom is a co-founder and member of the investment team at TDM Growth Partners. Tom, alongside his fellow partners Hamish Corlette and Ben Gisz’s, has grown TDM from $1m to over $1b in assets under management. Over the years, Tom has sat on the board of several ASX-listed companies and was the youngest Chairman of an ASX200 company.TDM has helped some notable Australian companies through the IPO process - Pacific Smiles, Baby Bunting, Tyro Payments - so have plenty of experience to share.We hope you enjoy this two-part series as much as we did recording it.For more information on TDM Growth Partners, and to receive their information-rich quarterly email, click here Hosted on Acast.

This episode is a little different that usual. During COVID we started an 'Afternoon Beer Discussions' series on YouTube. The concept was simple - we'd jump on Zoom and discuss one topic over one beer. It was a chance for us to just chat about a topic that interested us and it was a little more informal that your usual Equity Mates podcast episode. We've just brought the series back to YouTube and wanted to share an episode for our podcast listeners to enjoy.In this episode we break down the state of the electric vehicle industry and what is happening with the three major US electric vehicle stocks - Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), Nikola (NASDAQ: NKLA) and Workhorse Group (NASDAQ: WKHS).We are all witnessing a massive, structural change in the way cars and trucks are made. In response to climate change, petrol-fuelled, internal combustion engines are being replaced by electric and hydrogen-powered engines. The companies leading this change had enjoyed incredible share price performance to start 2020 (Tesla was up 480%, Nikola was up 673% and Workhorse was up 897%). However, the last few months have seen all of these stocks fall and lose at least a quarter of their value. In this episode we chat about what has happened and why all three companies have seen their share price fall recently.-------------------Have you just started your investing journey?
