  • Many of us are still sitting here asking ‘is it a good idea to invest?’. I think this actually means ‘I am scared to invest because I don’t want to lose money’. That makes more sense to me. But...by not investing, in some way, you are already watching your money go backwards in terms of what it can buy. Let's rip into this objection to investing.

  • I sat down with Jake Mickleson who is a KiwiSaver advisor with Generate KiwiSaver Scheme and we ran through some of the balances of different age ranges of KiwiSaver contributors across New Zealand AND then compared these across the Generate KiwiSaver Scheme members. Where do you sit?


    We also look at a recent retirement study that tells us how much is needed for retirement. This will be eye opening for a lot of you. Get stuck in.

  • Recently, I asked people IF THEY WANTED TO INVEST BUT HAVEN’T YET, how come. Sorry I had to yell and use bold so that you read that question properly. Before I summarise what I think the key 3 are, know this: You have TO WANT TO invest and that will help get you started. You’re on your own, but the guard rails are up so high that you’re so unlikely to hit a gutter ball long term. Stop aiming for a strike and bowl ya ball! Let's explore!

  • Well, it has nearly been a good two years since the Reserve Bank of New Zealand told us that they were going to be engineering a recession so we thought that two years into this recession it was time to take a look and see what people were saying two years ago.


    Now that we are deep in it, what should we expect from here? What’s happening with business confidence? Will house prices continue to rise? When will rates slide further? Will they print money again?


    This one won’t be as optimistic as you may HOPE but it’s realistic and that’s what we’ve been the whole way through. Get ready to take more action. When it’s hard, push harder!

  • In the past, earning a six-figure income was a significant milestone, some sort of marker of financial success. But with rising costs and inflation, the purchasing power of $100,000 has decreased. So, setting an arbitrary income goal like "$100,000" might not be the right target anymore. It is believed that about 16% of working Kiwis now earn $100,000 or more. That number will continue to increase. In 2001, that was under 2% of wage and salary earners.

    We're really sorry to let you know that you have been lied to on a number of fronts. We think it is becoming increasingly evident by all of you that everything is not what it seems. So what can we do about all of this? We dig in to figure out why more people are feeling uneasy about trying to get a head in New Zealand.

  • This pyramid holds the answers to so many of life’s questions. Are you currently at survival status, freedom, or purpose? And more importantly where would you like to be when it comes to your financial situation?. This was eye-opening from our trip to the United States and we sat down to reflect on what it means to us and what we’ve learned from it. 


    We also asked the KTC audience where they are aiming for and where they currently sit on the pyramid. The answers are insightful. We explore questions like what are you aiming for yourself? Why? What would you aim for if you were out of survival?


    If this one doesn’t get you thinking deeply, we don’t know what will!

  • I was playing with the word hope whilst writing. I had been thinking about how it seems many people have lost a form of hope and that’s a sad place to be. That brings me to the word HOPE. Help Other People Exist If you look at a lot of successful people, they do exactly this. BUT…to help others, first, you yourself have to become helpful!

    5 years ago, my business partner and I sat in Fiji tipping over a couple of Fiji golds, scheming how to build a $1,000,000 business. At the time, we had no clients, no revenue, but we did have a relentless desire to make it happen. We are now 5 years on, tune in to hear how it went.

  • What a whirlwind trip to the United States of America that was. We’ve had a few weeks to unpack and reflect on the trip to the USA and it’s now time to gather all of those and give you our key takeaways and see how they may be able to help you in your life as well.


    We also dive into some of the different ways we will now think and act off of the back of the information that we’ve picked up in our time in the States. We talk about scale, the future being bright, Mikey's massive investment, where data deletes ‘feeling’ and much, much more.

  • Goals. Love em or hate em it’s nearly goal season - the 1st of January. BUT we still have a whole quarter of 2024 to go. And realistically, sometimes we don’t need a new year or big new sexy goals in our life. Why not focus on our current goal and achieving it faster? Let's look at someone doing exactly this and what we can learn.

  • Money Sweetspot is here to help reverse that debt spiral and support New Zealanders to regain control of their finances. I sit down with CEO Sasha Lockley to ask her about the impressive debt consolidation social enterprise that is Money Sweetspot. It only started becoming public facing in March 2023 and since then it has helped 600 people with their debt. They do this via ‘debt resets’ that give people a chance to have high interest debt rolled into a cheaper rate, with a single, manageable payment. 


    In addition, Money Sweetspot provides free access to valuable financial education resources. Customers can even earn credits (that pay down their debt faster) when they tick off educational modules. There is nothing like this in the world and Sasha needs a hand to find the right people to use the service and to spread the word. Hopefully this can help some of you.


    “Our support for Money Sweetspot is part of our broader commitment to enhancing the social, cultural, and financial wellbeing of New Zealanders. With our goal to deliver $50 million in low or no-interest lending by 2024, we’re actively supporting a more inclusive and sustainable financial future.”

  • Not everyone aspires to be in business and that is fine, but I feel like we can all do with understanding a bit more about how the numbers in a business work. Businesses are constantly tracking a ‘Profit and loss’ statement whichs track their income, their expenses and, therefore, their profit. You might think that reading a profit and loss (P&L) statement is like reading another language? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We’re about to break it down in a way that’s simple and clear.

  • There is always a lot of chat in society around all of us finding our purpose but this can be really, really, really hard to do. In this episode, I'm going to take you through some of the ways that I have thought about purpose in my life and how I have been able to break the back of it and how I see it as an ever-changing journey. If you're stuck with purpose and think it is what you need to be aiming for this will be a huge help for you.

  • The cost of insurance has been climbing and many people are thinking about self-insuring themselves - i.e. not having insurance but thinking they will stack money aside to cover eventual issues. But how realistic is this and can it work? I sit down with Johny Winstone who has over 6,000 clients and we discuss all things insurance. I promise it isn’t boring and you will learn something. 


    We explore things like: What are the most common things people insure? Are people ignoring insurance? What we don’t know about insurance that we need to? You will enjoy these stories and this will get you thinking more about insurance and it’s importance.

  • Housing affordability is always a hot topic in this country, and for very good reason. The cost of a roof over our head is a massive issue with many flow on impacts. New research shows almost one-in-five New Zealanders are spending more than 50% of their household income on rent or a mortgage - a report from global infrastructure firm GHD. So what can YOU do about this?

    The number of people struggling financially is really starting to increase. Nearly 12% of Kiwis are currently behind on their debt repayments: personal loans, credit cards, BNPL etc. For some reason, it can be really hard for us Kiwis to ask for help. It seems to be something we’ve mastered - not asking for help. A lot of people will feel helpless or even embarrassed about their debt levels, so they will simply bury their heads in the sand. We know deep down that this isn’t a solution. So here is where to turn to...
