2024/06/12

Today we're bringing you an episode that is as colourful and sparky as our guest, Lou Featherstone AKA Lu in Lu Land. After going down the traditional route of marriage and kids, Lou found herself discontent being a stay at home Mum. She grew up as a vicar’s daughter which meant her relationship with finances (+ men) were quite complex. In this conversation she opens up about her debt-filled teenage years, to stealing from her workplace as an adult, going through a divorce and then reclaiming her

To kick things off this week, we're discussing weekend indulgences and the psychology behind restaurant bread servings. Then it's all about the wild world of meme stocks, focusing on the infamous Roaring Kitty and his impact on GameStop's stock price.

2024/06/05

Mixing things up this week, Vic takes us through her most recent obsession: a book that she's attended an event about, recommended to just about everyone, and is now making an entire podcast episode about it. Yep, obsessed. 'The Algebra of Wealth: A Simple Formula for Success' by Scott Galloway has some serious learnings that are too good to keep secret. It covers how to define what 'rich is', knowing how much is enough, and understanding the formula to achieving financial freedom. Get ready to

Coming to you live from our makeshift studio (hence Soph's slightly echo-y mic), Vic's got the latest on Birkenstock, that skyrocketed 60% since it's IPO in October, and the rough ride Doc Martens has had since their 2021 IPO. We dive into Golden Goose's upcoming IPO in Italy and the juicy twist involving their biggest shareholder – the same group that struggled with Doc Martens. Should we be worried? Soph's got news from her old stomping grounds, Sony Music, which is eyeing Queen's music catalogue

Why does talking about sex and money make everyone feel SO uncomfortable? They both quite literally make the world go around. And just like talking about your salary can help you get a pay rise, talking about sex can help you experience so much more confidence and pleasure. Today we are chatting with the amazing Emma-Louise Boynton, who is the brilliant mind behind ‘Sex Talks.’ She talks openly about her experience with sex therapy, shares her incredibly insightful perspective on sex work, and

Soph is back from The Podcast Show 2024 (think Comic Con but for audio nerds), and she’s got stories galore including a major fangirl moment with the incredible Elizabeth Day. Spoiler: Soph got super emotional, then pitched Elizabeth via email. Guess what? She got a reply right away (but was it really from Elizabeth?). In stock market news, the software company, Nvidia is absolutely slaying in the AI game, with their revenue skyrocketing 300% in just three months. All hail Jensen Huang, their genius

Growing up on a commune in the weed capital of Australia, you could say that today's guest, Julia Strelou experienced a slightly different childhood compared to most kids. It wasn't until her early teens that she started to realise just how different her living situation was in contrast to others at school. When the penny dropped and comparison started to creep in, she decided to leave her family and venture outside of the commune. She left with nothing, found herself in 3 financially abusive

Happy Tuesday everybody! Coming to you a day later than usual, we're discussing the recent success of Duolingo, the return of meme stocks, and most importantly; Soph's transition into a Karen after spending the night listening to pesky kids partying. Keith Gill AKA the legendary Roaring Kitty has bought about the return of meme stocks - which in short, is people clubbing together on Reddit to buy stocks in the companies that aren't doing great, because they've been shorted (betted against) by hedge

This week we welcomed back one of our favourite guests, Sarah Lindsay who runs SALA, the most amazing reformer pilates, yoga and barre studio in Auckland. The original episode we recorded with her was so popular that we thought it would be rude not to have her back to give us some updates and share some of her successful business-owner wisdom with us. Feeling defeated in achieving work-life feels like a tale as old as time and a struggle I think every one of us can say we face regularly. This is a

Joining us in this extra special, extra lengthy Curve Weekly episode is the amazing Ella, who you may recognise from way back when Soph was scraping the financial barrel and Ella came to the rescue (as told in RTC69). A few weeks ago you might remember we spoke about the rivalry between America and China all about banning TikTok in the US? Well, the plot has thickened!! The US is claiming national security, and China’s calling bullshit, suing the US government for forbidding freedom of speech. It's

2024/05/07

This week we’re speaking with a couple who are doing things differently - Meg + Guy Mansell. We know this so 2021, but these two are absolute #couplegoals. Meg, who you may know as the host of The Edge Breakfast radio show, met Guy back in broadcasting school (with Soph!) 10 years ago. Although Meg jokes about conning Guy into being a relationship with her, the two are now happily married, with a house, dog, cat and daughter. Thank goodness she didn't listen to Soph and sack him off all those years

2024/05/06

Full transparency, The Curve Weekly got a little financially off track this week. The mention of Snapchat’s sky rocketing share price meant that there were a few minds in the gutter... and by a few, it was only Soph's. The conversation went a little like this... "Surely the only reason Snapchat share price went up 30% in a day was because a celebrity's nudes were leaked right...?" As you can imagine, this thought process completely derailed our very high brow investing conversation, and gave us a

It’s no secret people get scammed all the time. With voice impersonations and deepfake phishing on the rise, scammers have reached a new level of deception. But imagine if the person scamming you was in plain sight, someone you thought you could trust with everything. This is what happened to Tracy Hall, who you might recognise from the podcast ‘Who The Hell Is Hamish’. After 7 years of re-building her life off the back of financial and emotional betrayal, Tracy is stronger than ever and she's on a

And this week we're looking at how Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg continue to kill the game. In other newwwws (sorry Vic), the New York stock exchange might be opening 24/7 and Google have declared their first ever dividend (which is where they return cash to their shareholders).

This is Linda Jenkinson, or otherwise known as LJ, the first woman to ever list a company on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the US. We know what you’re thinking, this must’ve been ages ago right? LJ listed her company in 1998... that’s only 26 years ago! Being constantly dismissed because of her gender, it's safe to say that LJ has encountered a fair few glass ceilings which she's smashed through at full force. She sees life as a set of games where she’s constantly breaking the rules, and she's on a

Mixing things up this week, we're talking currencies! Currencies are a bit like stocks; they fluctuate depending on demand, and can actually be a creative way of saving money. Hint: take a holiday to a destination where the currency is weak - you'll be living it up for less! Testing that theory is Vic who has has decided to fly to Spain to surprise flower man (AKA her boyfriend), meanwhile Soph is on a fly hunt (literally - please excuse any blow fly sounds that enter this recording).

If you haven't already heard of the FIRE movement, let us introduce you to this amazing concept. FIRE (otherwise known as 'financial independence retire early') is a pretty extreme approach to saving + investing. Someone who has successfully gotten herself in position where she could retire before her 40th birthday is the amazing Ana Kresina. She is a financial educator, author and ex-roller derby player who although she could retire, is choosing to work and empower women all over the world to find

Just imagine Vic pointing to overwhelm and Soph at the excitement section with a hard launch we are all here for. And although the stock market's been pointing at depressed lately, there is one company you might consider investing in. It's share price has risen 40% this year alone!
