2024/01/31

For our 100th RTC episode (100, woah!) we’re bringing you honesty, vulnerability and epic amounts of attitude, in the form of everyone’s favourite Aussie influencer – Cartia Mallan. From her early days of ‘crying on Snapchat’ to building an incredible career as a highly sought-after influencer, Cartia has, in her own words, absolutely slayed. We dive deep into the world of influencing – from believing in your worth and listening to your mom(ager), to the importance of overdelivering and the power of

We all know that size doesn’t (or shouldn’t) matter – but when it comes to Stanley, the world is suddenly going wild for his big old jumbo cups. We talk about incredible rebrands, the perks of going viral, and whether a surge in demand equals a solid investment opportunity. We also look at China’s downward spiral, the power of the Magnificent Seven (the seven biggest companies in the world) and the joys of being loudly and proudly frugal. Plus, Vic has never looked hotter and Soph is suddenly into

WHY ARE BOUNDARIES SO HARD? Why is it so awkward to say we can’t afford something? Why do we carry so much guilt and fear and shame around saying, ‘No, actually, that won’t work for me’? In today’s episode, we are lucky enough to ask these questions (and many, many more) to the international queen of boundaries, Rebecca Ray. As a clinical psychologist, renowned speaker and author of two incredible books, Dr Becks is an absolute weapon when it comes to then when, how and why of putting our own needs

As the NZ summer’s getting hotter and hotter (Soph’s sweating, Vic’s doused in perfume) Google’s going ice-cold, announcing even more employee cuts to come this year. We look at the reason behind the layoffs and how this could have a positive effect on inflation (although we really don’t want you to be fired). And while Google has too many people, China’s facing the opposite problem. While a rapidly shrinking population may sound like a good thing (hello, happier environment) it could also come at a

This week we’re talking to the brilliantly clever, honest and inspiring Emma Bates – co-founder of Diem, the new social search engine for women and non-binary folk. She also happens to be Vic’s sister’s husband’s brother’s partner (it’s closer than it sounds, we promise). She’s pitched to hundreds of potential investors to raise more than $3.5million, navigated the US banking collapse, the cost of living in New York, all while working insanely hard with the aim to earn as much money as humanly

No matter how hard you try to ease into the new year, sometimes things just don’t go your way. Soph went to a silent retreat and got hit by a flying log, Vic went on a sexy hike and got a nasty bee sting, and Boeing sent a plane across the skies … and lost part of it mid-flight. We talk about the effect this could have on their share price, investor confidence and their reputation as a whole. We also look at a recent billion-dollar dating app investment, the latest way to buy Bitcoin, and Elon

In today’s episode, we’re talking to the incredible Liz Gillette – a bad-ass financial advisor who, in her teenage and young adult years, experienced more than her fair share of money troubles. From watching her family home get repossessed to walking out of college with a monumental debt to pay, Liz’s financial journey has not been an easy one. We sat down with Liz to talk about the slippery slope of debt, the importance of communication, leaving judgement at the door and respecting your partner’s

It’s not always easy to back yourself – to throw yourself into the unknown – but today’s guest is living proof of what can happen when you stand up, take a chance and lean into uncertainty. Claire Dinhut (aka Condiment Claire) is an absolute powerhouse. She’s been to Harvard, travelled the world presenting food shows, gone viral on TikTok during lockdown and somehow still finds time to make her own butter. We talk to Claire about her career ups and downs, her self-taught investing strategies and her

We look at who’s crushed it and who’s had a shocker, and what it’s meant for IPOs and investors. We’ve got big news from Boots, an out-of-this-world announcement from McDonalds, and some smokin’ hot tips for choosing sectors to invest (and find employment) in. Wind turbines, anyone?

In today’s episode, Vic goes head-to-head with Alison George, our very clever and succinct friend at Australian Ethical. If you’ve listened to this podcast before, you’ll no doubt be aware of Vic’s undying love for Microsoft in all its nerdy-tech glory … so naturally, we’ve put her on the ‘against’ side of today’s ethical investment debate. From the risks of facial recognition to carbon neutral data centres, increased productivity to who’s responsible for the recycling, we dive deep into the highs

This week, we’re rolling out a slightly different format. With 2023 nearly behind us, we’re wrapping up the year that’s been and all the lessons it has given us. From learning to live with significantly less to taking your own advice, from the importance of a healthy emergency fund to the heartbreaking realities of the ADHD tax – we’re here to reflect and share (and we’re actually quite vulnerable). Big feelings, big lessons and big gratitude for your support along the way. This episode was made

Ahhh, December. The trees are up, the carols are cranking, and things are looking rather bright and merry in the world of finance – unless, of course, you’re Michael Burry (the man behind The Big Short – it has Ryan Gosling in it, you’ve probably seen it). Today, we’re talking big risks, big bets and the danger of betting on failure. On a more positive note, the S&P500 is up, Uber’s finally in the big-dog club, Facebook is flying, Zuckerberg’s selling, TikTok is absolutely massive and Vic’s hit

Today, we have the privilege of sitting down with Beth to talk about her own financial journey, and the importance of keeping her finances aligned with her ethics.

A big week for The Curve! Soph went to the movies (and ordered nachos – questionable), Vic discovered Temu and we won a podcast award! Morale could not be higher, and neither could the latest Black Friday stats. We look at the sky-high spending, massive profits and a few scary red flags. We’re also talking the joy of black cabs, the (third) return of Robin Hood, Soph’s saucy Christmas costume and this summer’s hottest fashion trend – the IPO. For more from The

We’re always excited to chat to our guests, but this week Soph has quite possibly lost her mind in anticipation. To celebrate the recent Transgender Awareness Week, we’re talking to the hilarious, honest and totally inspiring Allegra Bambi Haines. Born and raised in South Wales, in an idyllic (and very sheltered) community, Allegra’s journey from uncertain child to proud trans-woman has not been an easy one.

While Vic finally touched down on safe ground (yes, the weeping was hers) the same can’t be said for the big dogs behind ChatGPT, who are currently dealing with a veeery shaky landing. We talk about riding the AI wave, the inevitability of greed following success, and the beauty of investing in an ETF. We also look at dodgy money (and founders) in the world of crypto and the

For so many, fertility doesn’t come easy. In fact, it can come at a huge, overwhelming and often unattainable cost. In today’s episode, we’re talking to Brett Russo, author of ‘The Underwear in my Shoe’ – a powerful, funny and unflinchingly honest account of her journey through IVF – about her own experience with infertility. Born and raised in New Jersey, Brett and her husband endured five rounds of IVF to have their two gorgeous sons. Brett found the experience so harrowing and all-consuming, she
