    👉🏼 Why checking short-term performance might be leading you astray

  • 262. Is AI going to replace financial advice?
    May 4 2026

    Everyone tells you to 'speak to an advisor' when making big money decisions, but with financial advice often starting in the thousands, it's not exactly accessible to the average person. It's no surprise that more and more people are turning to AI to help them plan, model and make sense of their money.


    In this episode, Tash and Ana unpack their honest thoughts on AI and personal finance. How they actually use it themselves, where they've seen it go wrong, and how to use it to your advantage without letting it lead you astray.

  • 259. How to feel optimistic when the economy sucks
    Apr 22 2026

    When Jack first started making content about politics and social issues, he realised something pretty quickly. Everyone cared, everyone was stressed, and no one knew where to start. Housing, climate, inequality, mental health… it all felt like one giant, overwhelming swirl.


    In this replay episode, Jack shares why he thinks hope is actually a super practical tool and why we could all use a bit more of it. He chats about the experiences that shaped his outlook on systems, community and progress, and why regular people have way more power than they think. Ana and Jack jump into everything from housing and immigration to negative gearing, tenant rights, big banks, public housing and a whole lot more.

  • 258. 36% of Australians are making this super mistake
    Apr 20 2026

    Most of us assume our super will just "go to our family" automatically when we pass away.


    The reality is much more complicated. To help us navigate the fine print, we’ve brought in Kate Campbell. You might know her from her time at Rask, but lately, she’s been behind the scenes at a major industry super fund, reviewing and preparing death claims.


    Kate joins us to share what actually happens when a death claim is filed, binding vs. non-binding nominations, the mistakes that lead to frozen funds, and how you can set up your nominations today to save your loved ones from a "tricky situation" tomorrow.

  • 256. Do I need a prenup?
    Apr 13 2026

    In this episode, Ana catches up with Kate Campbell — a familiar face if you've been listening for a while.


    A lot has changed for Kate since we last heard from her. She's gotten married, combined finances with her husband, and will soon be welcoming a new little family member. In this episode she walks us through all of it — how they approached merging their money, the real costs of a wedding, planning financially for a family, and why they decided to get a prenup before tying the knot.


    Whether you're already deep in these conversations with your partner or just starting to think about how to approach it all, Kate's got some really practical insights to make it a little easier.
