Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing. With the BetaShares WealthBuilder range, investors can access moderate gearing into shares, and with the newly launched GG-BL, That means exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 1,300 global companies excluding Australia, all with no loan applications, credit checks, or margin calls. Gearing magnifies both gains and losses, so it's only suitable for investors with a very high tolerance for risk. You can learn more about the WealthBuilder range of ETFs at the BetaShares website.

Alicia is the creative genius and go-getter behind Sweetbakes Cakes, the author and designer of the Storybook Suites range of children's books, a speaker, Instagrammer, and so much more.
This podcast was recorded in audio and video, so I highly encourage you to take some time out and watch the recording on YouTube. Alicia's journey with Sweetbakes started when she was just 19, which is a very young age to start a successful business. Alicia is one of the highest energy and positive young people that I've come across. So it was my pleasure to talk with her about her inspiring journey and young business, and also about how to hustle, online marketing, getting the motivation to push forward, mindfulness, sticking your neck out when everyone else says don't give it a shot, scaling a business, and so much more. On behalf of Kate and myself, we hope you enjoy this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast.
