The main goal of this podcast has always been to help break down barriers to investing and empower our community to feel comfortable joining any conversation about money. To end our second season, it seemed fitting to centre back to this goal and to do so, we were humbled to have a conversation with the former foreign Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop. Drawn from both incredible insight and experience, we explore career choices as a female, the benefits of diversity in companies, the reasons behind financial illiteracy and how we can go about closing the investment gap. Stick around as we even discuss with Julie where she sees some of the biggest investment opportunities in the future!Keep track of Sophie and Maddy between the episodes on Instagram, or on TikTok, and come and be part of the conversation on Facebook with our You’re In Good Company Discussion Group.

Investing is an important way to grow your wealth and set yourself up for financial freedom. But it doesn’t have to stop there. It can also be a tool to give back to causes that you care about. Ever thought that you could micro finance women's businesses or fund farms that are trying to grow sustainable agriculture practices? Well, it is all possible through impact investing. On today’s episode, we chatted with our first CEO, Christina Hobbs from Verve Super, Australia's first superfund for women, all about impact investing and the use case for cryptocurrency in developing nations. This conversation is full of experience and perspective as Christina worked with the UN for over ten years where she led or coordinated humanitarian organisations, governments, and the private sector to connect the most vulnerable people in the world to the financial services system. Christina is an advocate for building the financial power of women and is passionate about doing so through impact investing and ensuring that capital is being used to create a better world.Keep track of Sophie and Maddy between the episodes on Instagram, or on TikTok, and come and be part of the conversation on Facebook with our You’re In Good Company Discussion Group.

Throughout season one, we had our guests pick a stock, ETF, news trend, industry or anything of interest to them, to add to the YIGC Watchlist! The purpose of this was to get us thinking outside the box and broaden our perspective on what we can invest in. Last season we covered topics from car cooling technology, to the Amazon of Russia, to companies tackling climate change. Today, we build up a ‘pretend’ portfolio where we invest $1,000 (monopoly money) into the stocks and themes that each expert picked and discuss the background behind movement in the share price over the past 6 months. We end up with a very well diversified portfolio that is tracking nicely… can you guess the returns so far?

This year in Australia, the gender pay gap has increased to 14.2%. That’s a difference of $261.50 every week. One of the reasons we started this podcast was to try and improve gender wealth equality. This year, #EqualPayDay is on the 31st of August, and we want to take this opportunity to talk about the gender pay gap. To help us understand it, and what it means, we are chatting with the CEO and founder of PepTalkHer, the incredible Meggie Palmer. PepTalkHer was founded with the mission to close the gender pay gap by empowering women and educating some of the biggest companies in the world about the benefits of inclusivity.

One of the things that puts first time investors off from jumping into the stock market is the pursuit of perfection. We want to make sure we are buying into the right stock at the right time, but unfortunately, perfection really isn’t a thing when it comes to investing. It is safe to say, there is no investor out there who hasn’t made mistakes along the way. In fact, mistakes can sometimes be beneficial to pull away lessons about the stock market. Today we chat with the vivacious Mel Browne about some of her investing mistakes, lessons she took away from them and why some of the money wins make all the mistake worth it.

June 30... It’s the tax (wo)man’s favourite time of year! And that means, it’s time to start thinking about your tax return. For many of the YIGC community who have only recently started investing, this will be the first year you’ll be required to declare income from investing. Tax can be a pretty complicated topic, but the good news is that the ATO already knows a fair amount about you and your investments! But we wouldn’t want to make it too easy… You’ll still need to be prepared to clarify some details and make sure everything that the ATO has on you is correct. Don’t fret! We have made the call to Emma Bowdler from the Women’s Accountant and will be taking all of your questions straight to the expert.Keep track of Sophie and Maddy between the episodes on Instagram for behind the scenes shots and tidbits, and come and be part of the conversation on Facebook with our You’re In Good Company Discussion Group.

It doesn’t need to be a full-blown break up but maybe it’s time to give your savings account a little bit of space.
