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.

Equity mates, welcome back to the show, fellas. A lot has changed since we had you on the program last time, including, I'm going to hold up to the camera for those that are watching. A book. A book.
A book, yeah. Well, thanks for having us on. You say a lot's changed, but it feels like, you know, we would just keep doing the same thing, going behind the microphone and recording podcasts. I guess that's lockdown brain. But, yeah, it's exciting. The book is out. We wrote it at the end of last year and then went through months and months of editing. So we're pretty excited that it's now out. Now finally out.
Yeah, for sure. For sure. I know Kate and I are really excited to ask you a few questions, not only just about how you went writing it, but also, you know, how it's been received and what have you. So it took that long to go from writing it. I thought writing would be the longest part.
We exist in a media where it's like the production and then release schedule is, you know, week on week. Books are months and months of planning and editing and, you know, getting it all made. So, yeah, it was a pretty long timeline, but it's, you know, we're pretty happy that it's out.
Yeah.
Before we get into the actual book itself, I just want to say congratulations on the podcast too. Like both series, Get Started Investing in the Equity Mates, core kind of OG podcasts are both in the top five when I checked yesterday, which is huge. So congratulations to you both. Doing that while launching other podcasts, while building the empire, while writing a book, Jeez, what can't you guys do? It's pretty impressive. So kudos to you two. Kate, I know you've got some questions for the guys, so I'll just let you jump straight in.
Yeah, I just, I mean, I thought we should start with the book. Owen still hasn't sent me his copy to read. And I share my books with him all the time. So I'm blaming him.
Okay, we'll send you a copy. We'll send you a copy. Don't worry about it.
Thank you very much. But I mean, I am a big fan of books. And I just love to know, where did you start?
