S3 Ep 59Community: DJ Tigerlily on aligning your investments with your values
On this episode of Get Started Investing, Bryce and Alec are joined by Dara Hayes… who you might know better by the name DJ Tigerlily. Dara is one of Australia’s most successful DJs… and her day job sees her touring the world, playing some of the biggest clubs across the globe, playing to tens of thousands of people all over the world, from Australia, Asia, Europe and the USA.What you also might not know is Dara is also passionate about ethical investing - she put pen to paper, metaphorically so to speak, and wrote a blog post on this topic back in 2019. She wrote eloquently about the power of voting with our dollars - and how we choose to invest can send a signal to the market. This episode is a deep dive with Dara on all of that today, but first, the guys hear about the beginning of Dara's investing journey, and the lessons she’s picked up on the way.

S3 Ep 53From the Experts: Emma Kirk on Global Investing | Magellan Financial Group
We've been on a round the world trip the last few weeks, talking about why investing beyond Australia's borders is a really good idea. Before we boarded the plane home, Alec and Bryce thought it would be good to hear from an expert. So we gave Emma Kirk from Magellan a call, and she agreed to come on the show and talk about how she started investing. Emma is a Key Account Manager - Listed Funds, for Magellan, an Australian fund manager with just shy of $100 billion in assets under management. With over 25 years experience in the financial services industry, Emma has worked at AMP, BT Financial Group and ANZ before Magellan. She talks about why it's a good idea to have a global focus as an investor, and what factors beginner investors should be considering, and then serves up the best analogy of the differences between LITs, LICs, Active ETFs and unlisted funds, with the use of a never-ending Tim Tam packet.Pre order the book on Booktopia or Amazon now.

S3 Ep 52The Inspiring Story of Lauren Simmons, the Youngest Female NYSE Trader
We loved this conversation with Lauren Simmons, who is a trailblazer and inspiration as she was the youngest female trader in the history of the NY Stock Exchange. This episode appeared in the Equity Mates feed, but we wanted more people to hear it, so we've put it in the Get Started Investing Feed as well! Together they have a conversation about hype investing, the dangers of crypto, trends she's heard and noticed in fellow millennials who invest, and her new venture as the host of Going Public. At 22 years old, Lauren Simmons shattered glass ceilings by becoming the youngest, and only full-time, female equity trader on Wall Street, as well as the second African American woman in 226 years.Pre order the book on Booktopia or Amazon now.

S3 Ep 50Global Investing 101: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started
Last episode, we talked about the importance of investing with a global mindset, and why spreading your money all across the globe (metaphorically at least) is a great idea. Since then, it's been fortuitous timing as Superhero has announced they'll be trading US Shares, Stake has announced they'll be adding the ability to trade Australian shares, and Sharesies are offering US, Aus and NZ trades. We'd love to see these companies also move into Europe, Asia and Africa, but it's still pretty exciting to see how many companies are embracing a global investing approach!In this episode, Alec and Bryce outline and focus on the three ways to invest overseas:Buy shares directlyInvest in Australian-listed productsBack the professionalsDon't forget, pre-order the book on Booktopia or Amazon now.

S3 Ep 46The Top Mistakes to Avoid in Investing and Life
It's another in our series of mistakes - the ones we've made, and how *not* to make them again! This week, we’re going to look at the reasons why we keep making these mistakes - known as cognitive biases. A cognitive bias is a systematic error in thinking that occurs when people are processing and interpreting information in the world around them. Unsure about that definition? Basically—our brains aren’t perfect. They often make mistakes when taking in information from the world and trying to make sense of it. A cognitive bias is a term for these mistakes our brains often make.The books that Alec and Bryce were talking about: Thinking, Fast and Slow and The Undoing Project.

S3 Ep 27Don't work for the company — instead, own the company
On Get Started Investing, We've kind of talked about this topic before, but we thought it was important to revisit WHY we invest. Because as everyday people we can benefit from the pioneering work of the best minds in the world, simply by buying shares in their companies. Instead of working *for* the companies - relying on them to approve our pay rises - we can flip the script. Get the best CEOs to work for you, all you need to do is buy their shares.*****Any views expressed by the podcast host or any guest are their own and do not represent the views of Equity Mates Media or any other employer or associated organisation.Always remember, all information contained in this podcast is for education and entertainment purposes only.
