We discuss the 8 ... | 28m 03s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | The $75 Billion Question: Is SpaceX Worth It? | Send us Fan Mail SpaceX is finally going public, and the numbers are staggering. With an expected valuation of $1.75 trillion and just 5% of shares available to investors, this could become the largest IPO in history. In this episode, Tim and Brodie break down what an IPO actually is, why SpaceX is attracting so much attention, how it compares to Tesla's famous IPO, and whether investors should be excited, cautious, or both.

| 2/2/26 | Why a Reserve Fund Changes the Way You Think, Invest, and Live | Send us Fan Mail The reserve fund is the one strategy every financial adviser agrees on — and the one most people ignore. In the first episode of 2026, Tim Ellis and Sheldon Wu break down what a reserve fund really is (and isn’t), why credit cards and revolving credit don’t count, and how having real cash set aside changes the way you invest, work, and live.

| 12/19/25 | 2025 In Review. What just happened and what actually matters? | Send us Fan Mail 2025 gave us AI becoming mainstream, another turbulent year under Trump, surprising global market returns, and the end of Warren Buffett’s era as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. In this episode, we unpack what actually happened — from AI hype and capital flows to interest rates and market surprises — and then finish with the bigger question: why none of it really matters for long-term wealth. A grounded reminder of what financial advice is actually for. If you have a question, sug... | 49m 43s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | The Most Misunderstood Part of KiwiSaver Performance | Send us Fan Mail This week, Tim breaks down one of the most common KiwiSaver misunderstandings: how two funds can show identical long-term returns on paper, yet deliver completely different balances for real investors. He explains why shifting asset allocations, volatility, and regular contributions can make a “better-looking” fund actually perform worse for you. If you’ve ever compared performance tables and felt confused, this episode will finally make the math make sense. If you have a que... | 16m 32s | ||||||

In this update, I break down how each major insurer has responded differently to rising claims costs, including Southern Cross, AIA and nib, and what these changes mean for your premiums, benefits and future options. I also outline practical solutions to consider depending on which insurer you’re currently with, so you can make informed decisio... | 26m 59s | ||||||

From seductive narratives to manufactured credibility and psychological manipulation, we unpack how these operators hook people in — and how to protect yourself. If you’ve ever wondered why these scams seem to surge during volatile markets, this episode is for you. If you have a question, suggestions, or a topi... | 28m 07s | ||||||
