Over the weekend a big bank in the US (SVB - Silicon Valley Bank) fell over, which hasn't happened since the Great Financial Crisis. Questions have been swirling about what this means for the global economy... and rightfully so, people have been panicking. However, it's not as scary when you understand the context.

Soph loved this episode - she learnt (and laughed) lots. Vic talks about the future of retailing + how investing has nothing to do with maths (she always has to use a calculator). She explains why the market had its worst week this year, and how you shouldn’t stress if you miss out on shares when a company goes to market for the first time (and does really well) - Beyond Meat is a good example of...

In this episode we talk about Soph's big money goal of wanting to buy a new car. It's been something she's wanted for years, but felt too embarrassed to admit it. She also had NO idea how to get there, so when Audi got in touch and said that they were keen to help, we both screamed like excited 6 year olds. If you want to save for something big, but it feels outlandishly out of reach then this epi...
