In this episode of SB Talks, Vincent O'Neill and Chief Investment Officer Nick Ryder explore whether the US economy is entering a "Goldilocks" phase, with moderating inflation, softer employment data and exceptionally strong corporate earnings easing pressure on the Federal Reserve. They discuss what the latest US and Australian inflation figures mean for interest rates, why markets have become more optimistic about the outlook for central banks, and the key risks that remain. Closer to home, they examine the RBA's latest decision, the early themes emerging from reporting season, and what weakening housing market activity and slowing mortgage demand could mean for the Australian economy in the months ahead.

This is not a normal week...Because Crypto Curious has just hit 1 million downloads — and you can't have a celebration like that without getting the gang back together.So joining us this week is the one and only Craig Jackson, our original partner in crypto, who was here for more than half of the almost five years we've been making this show.
Dave Gow from Strong Money Australia is back, this time for a two-part series. Part one goes right back to the start: the toxic workplace that lit the fire, the property portfolio he spent years building, and the moment he ran the numbers and realised the strategy he loved would keep him working for another decade. Ana and Dave also get into why "sacrifice" is the wrong word for any of this.In this episode we'll discuss:

Everyone has an opinion on housing, and Evan Lucas warns up front that this one will make you either very angry or very happy. In part three of the four-part economics series, he and Ana get into why there's no such thing as "the Australian property market", why supply has lagged for 40 years, and why the standard fixes tend to make the demand side worse.In this episode we'll discuss:
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance provides a safety net for medical professionals facing serious injury or illness — but navigating a claim isn't always straightforward. In this episode, Matt Andrews discusses the current TPD claims landscape, key trends insurers are seeing, and what claimants need to know before lodging a claim. Matt Andrews is a Partner and Head of the Superannuation and Insurance practice at Zaparas Lawyers. He is joined by Yanish Geerdharry, Head of Risk Advisory Services at the Bongiorno Group. They discuss the differences between default superannuation cover and tailored retail policies, typical waiting periods before a claim can be made, time limits for disputing a declined claim, and the implications of non-disclosure and misrepresentation at the point of application — including how pre-existing conditions are treated differently across policy types.

Every year Pearler publishes the ETFs its community actually invests in, ranked by how many people hold them rather than by returns. Ana sits down with Pearler founder and CEO Nick Nicolaides to walk the top ten, plus the most popular pairings, and to talk about what the list is genuinely useful for (a starting point for research) and what it isn't (a shopping list).In this episode we'll discuss:

In this episode of Meet the Investor, Joey Mouracadeh sits down with Candace Myung, Managing Director in Oaktree Capital Management's Special Situations Group, part of one of the world's leading alternative investment managers with over US$220 billion in assets under management. What exactly is a "special situation"? And why has Oaktree built one of its flagship strategies around it? Candace explains how the strategy has evolved beyond its distressed investing roots to invest across debt and equity, using bespoke structures to capitalise on opportunities created by company-specific challenges rather than relying solely on broader market cycles. The discussion also covers Oaktree's approach to downside protection, operational value creation and where special situations may sit within a private markets portfolio.

Everyone talks about inflation and interest rates, but far fewer people can explain how they're connected or why the RBA only really has one tool to work with. In part two of the four-part series, Ana and economist Evan Lucas get into what inflation actually is, why a bit of it is a good thing, and why the same rate rise can flatten a young family while barely touching someone who's already paid off their house.In this episode we'll discuss:
This week feels less like a crypto podcast... and more like the script of a Netflix crime series.
A will decides who gets your assets. A testamentary trust decides how they get them, and that difference can matter enormously for your kids, your blended family, and how much tax they pay. Ana sits down with estate planning lawyer Angie Treichel to unpack a tool most Australians have never heard of, plus why the post office will you've been meaning to fill out might not do what you think it does.In this episode we'll discuss:
A wealthy mindset is as much about what you don't spend on money as what you do.Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson explore the list of the ten things wealthy people don't waste money on (and why).Canna and Michael have written a book!

Most of us only think about the economy when something's gone wrong, and according to economist Evan Lucas, that's by design. In part one of a four-part series, Ana sits down with the author of Mind Over Money to go right back to first principles: what an economy actually is, how we measure it, and why the whole thing behaves more like a circle than a straight line. No jargon, no judgement, just the questions you'd never ask at a dinner party.In this episode we'll discuss:
Welcome back to Crypto Curious. Joining us in the studio this week is a very special guest, James Coombes, Chief Commercial Officer at Block Earner. James has helped lead one of Australia's biggest crypto success stories, with Block Earner launching Bitcoin-backed home loans, securing its Australian Credit Licence and taking home the 2026 Finnies Award for Excellence in Consumer Lending.
What happens to your emergency fund once you've actually built some wealth? Following straight on from their emergency funds 101 episode, Tash and Ana tackle the advanced version: offsets, debt recycling, business structures, and whether you even need a cash buffer once your portfolio could catch you. If part one was about building the safety net, this one is about rethinking it once the net is bigger than the fall. (New to emergency funds? Go listen to part one first.)In this episode we'll discuss:
There’s a lot of financial advice that’s been around forever: work hard, buy a house, stay loyal and save 10 per cent of your income. But how much of that is relevant anymore? Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson make a list of the financial advice that doesn't work anymore.Canna and Michael have written a book!

Emergency funds might not be the most thrilling topic in personal finance, but they're the foundation everything else sits on. In this first of two back-to-back episodes, Tash and Ana cover the 101: what actually counts as an emergency, how much you need, and where to keep it. Whether you're starting with your first $1,000 or wondering if your buffer is big enough, this is the place to start. (Already sorted? The part 2 drops on Thursday.)In this episode we'll discuss:
This week, we're looking at three stories that all ask the same question: who really controls the money?
If you're heading into your 40s (or already there) and worried you've missed the investing boat, this one's for you. Following their episodes on investing in your 20s and 30s, Tash and Ana tackle the decade where compounding starts pulling its weight, but mortgages, kids, ageing parents and lifestyle creep are all fighting for the same dollar. Ahead, behind or starting from scratch, it's not too late.In this episode we'll discuss:
Most people think they know what they earn. Salary. Hourly rate. Take-home pay. But that’s not the full picture. Join Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson as they explore the idea of the 'true hourly wage,' and how it changes the way you think about work, money and the FIRE (financial independence, retire early) movement.Canna and Michael have written a book!

FIRE (financial independence, retire early) made a lot more sense when houses were cheaper and the tax rules stayed put. So is it still a realistic goal for Australians in 2026? Tash and Ana take an honest look at the movement, from the maths behind it to the proposed budget changes that have the FIRE community redoing their spreadsheets.In this episode we'll discuss:
The crypto industry has matured rapidly over the past few years, but what's next?This week on Crypto Curious, we sat down with Tamas Szabo, Group CEO of Pepperstone Crypto, to discuss the evolution of digital assets, where the market is heading, and what it will take for crypto to become part of everyday finance.Whether you're new to crypto or have been following the industry for years, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on where we're headed next.Let's get into it
I'm Blake, and Tracey is taking a well-earned break this week, but I'm joined by a very special guest co-host, Jonno Newman from TRM Labs.If you haven't come across TRM before, they're one of the world's leading blockchain intelligence firms, working with governments, law enforcement agencies and some of the biggest crypto businesses on the planet to investigate hacks, trace stolen funds and follow the money on-chain. Jonno, great to have you with us.And you've picked a fascinating week to jump in.
AI is being pushed into every workplace, layoffs are in the news weekly, and offshoring is easier than it's ever been. So is your 9-5 actually safe? Tash and Ana take an honest look at job security in 2026, and more importantly, how to set yourself up so a redundancy email is an inconvenience rather than a crisis.In this episode we'll discuss:
This isn't an episode about how to make a budget. Most households already have some form of a budget in place. This is about how to fix one that's not working. Join Canna Campbell - a financial planner for 20 years - and Fear & Greed's Michael Thompson as they go through the common problems with budgets, and how to fix them.Canna and Michael have written a book!

A 33 year old defence worker with a $1.1 million net worth, $365k in super, and $5,000 a fortnight going into investments. All on a $125k salary. The comment section had one big question: how? Tash and Ana crack open this Finance File, walk through the numbers line by line, and take on the debates it sparked. In this episode we'll discuss:
The federal budget keeps changing, and this time it's SMSFs and trusts feeling the impact. Tash and Ana break down two surprise updates: a ban on SMSFs borrowing to buy residential property, and a new minimum tax on discretionary trusts that had the estate planning world in a spin.In this episode we'll discuss:
This week, we begin in Europe, where Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is being forced to wind down services across parts of the European Union after failing to meet the region's new MiCA licensing requirements. It's one of the clearest examples yet of regulators saying that even the biggest names in crypto have to play by a new set of rules.Then we turn to an unlikely showdown. Nearly one hundred Catholic bishops and faith leaders have publicly opposed a major piece of US crypto legislation, arguing it could make human trafficking and financial crime harder to combat. It's a fascinating debate that goes well beyond digital assets and asks a much bigger question: where should innovation end and public responsibility begin?And finally, Mark Zuckerberg is back. Meta is reportedly building its own prediction markets platform, setting its sights on companies like Polymarket and Kalshi. Whether it's politics, sport or global events, prediction markets are quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing areas of crypto—and now one of the world's biggest technology companies wants a seat at the table.Let's get into it.
"Is it too late to start investing in your 30s?" We get this question a lot. Your income typically goes up in your 30s. But so does everything else. Mortgages, kids, ageing parents, a lifestyle that somehow keeps pace with the payrise. In this episode, Tash and Ana unpack what investing actually looks like once life gets more complicated, and why this decade might need to be one of your most intentional.In this episode, we'll discuss:
It’s a new financial year. Fresh start. Clean slate. And while most people think about resetting in January… July is actually a pretty good financial checkpoint.

Most people see the highlight reel. But what does it actually cost to put your life online?In this episode, Tash pulls back the curtain on what it's really like to be a public figure in the personal finance space. From the opportunities that come with sharing your story, to the criticism, the privacy trade-offs, and the moments that make you question whether it's all worth it, this one gets honest about the side of content creation nobody really talks about.Ana also shares how her thinking has shifted since becoming a mum, and what she's had to reconsider about what she shares, who can see it, and how she protects her family.If you've ever thought about sharing more of your life online, or you're just curious what the behind-the-scenes reality actually looks like, this episode is worth a listen.Case Study FormUse the code 'GRSC' to start investing on Pearler with $20 of free brokerage credits
This week, we're looking at three stories that all point to the same conclusion: crypto is becoming increasingly tied to the institutions it once claimed to replace.
