Why is The Curve taking a two‑week summer break and what will listeners get instead?
You might be thinking, wow, she's been banging on about her holiday for weeks. What are you doing talking into the microphone, Sophie? Well, I actually am recording this just as I'm about to go to the airport. I have my bag packed. I have my swimsuit ready to go. We are taking a two-week hiatus. Well, it's not really a hiatus. It's a summer break.
Which original episodes are being re‑released and why are they perfect for beginners?
What we're actually going to be doing is releasing the OG vintage Raising the Curve episode. So this is the second episode we ever released, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. And this is our top most listened to episodes that will take anybody who is a total beginner, so knows really not a lot about money investing, probably hasn't started investing at all, or if they have, they don't really know what they're doing. so that you can go back and listen to when I was a baby who knew nothing about money. So these episodes, they were recorded six years ago. So this is when I was in debt. I didn't understand what a stock was. I'd never invested.
How did Sophie’s personal finance journey change from debt to investing success?
And six years later, I am now in no debt. I have two investment properties. I have over 100K in the stock market. I've completely turned my financial situation around. And I actually think it's completely changed who I am as a person. I've been reflecting on this a lot because I just had my birthday. I just turned 35 and I just had a haircut. I feel like I'm entering a new phase of my life, of the business as we've launched the fund.
What nostalgic insights do the early episodes offer new listeners about money basics?
I think there's just lots of things changing at the
moment.
You may have heard in the last episode that she's moving back to New Zealand so that she can run the fund. You know, there's just lots of change happening and it's all really good stuff. And it's made me feel very nostalgic for where I was five or six years ago. I was a completely different version of myself. And listening to these old episodes and hearing how cute and naive and just a total rookie with all things money I was. So if you know anyone who... hasn't entered the curve chat yet, who hasn't started learning about money and investing, this is a really good chance for them to get on the bandwagon from the beginning.
How does the hosts express gratitude to the community and preview the return of regular episodes?
So we're going to be re-releasing those episodes. It might be a really nice chance to re-listen and to refresh and just to remind yourself of how silly and funny those episodes were. Honestly, I had such a giggle listening to some of these episodes. So that is what's happening. We're taking a two week little break. I really, really hope that in the next two weeks you don't go find another finance and podcast episode. I think in all honesty, probably the reason we haven't taken a break is because we just, we know how valuable your time is and we are so grateful that you are. choose to listen to us and learn from us and we don't take that for granted thank you so much to everyone who listens to this podcast who engages with our brand like we would be nowhere and nothing without our amazing community so yeah sending you all lots of love
