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.

It'll be 18 million soon.

And had her own regular radio segment at Radio New Zealand for quite some time.

I mean, that's very kind.

This is where the mentor exceeds the master.

But here she is in 2026 at 29 and she has now retired.

She's hit her number and I want to talk all about it.

So, Sim, what made you want to retire at 29?

And so how did you know that you were ready to retire?

Because just before we came down, Andrew and I were talking to one of our financial advisors and there is a situation where there is a nurse who's in her mid-70s and she's got boatloads of money, right?

But she's scared to retire.

And we kind of see that quite often with investors.

What gave you the confidence or how did you know that you could do this at 29?

That gets you quite a few drinks at the Outback Bar on a Saturday night.

I mean, that truly would be the definition of finding love in a hopeless place.

I think I can say that.
