Stephen Knight

Hello and welcome along to the Property Academy podcast by Obus Partners.

I'm your host, Stephen Knight.

And I'm Adrian Nicoll.

And this is the show that helps Kiwis go from zero to five investment properties so you can be financially free and stick around for the next 15 minutes because you're going to learn how this Kiwi investor built her wealth and retired at 29.

What her 60 years of retirement will really look like and the surprising things she learned about retirement that no one ever tells you.

And I'm so excited for this show because our guest is probably one of the most recognizable names in New Zealand, investing at Simcoe, who is the co-founder of Friends That Invest.

Well, actually, I was just thinking, do we call you the co-founder or are you just the founder these days?

Well, do you know what?

It's quite funny.

So Sim doesn't even know this, but- Oh, here we go.

But I had to write her a recommendation letter recently for something she was doing.

And I started sitting down and writing down all of Sim's achievements.

And I was like, holy heck, there are so many of them from being the KiwiBank

Young New Zealander of the Year to now being on the judging panel as well.

She's on the board of the Auckland Hospital Foundation.

I might have messed up the exact name of it, but the fundraising body for Auckland Hospital.

She founded Friends That Invest, wrote a bestselling book that sold over 100,000 copies, has a massive podcast with 18 million downloads, I think you're up to now.

15, but thank you.

15 million, I must have- We round up.

We do round up.
