To be artistic director of one of the world's great ballet companies is a daunting task. But Tamara Rojo is accustomed to pressure: as Royal Ballet, artistic director of English National Ballet, and now of San Francisco Ballet (SFB), America's oldest classical company. Tamara has the gift of making each programmes an event; the highlight of her first season at SFB was Mere Mortals, a ballet for the age of AI, which attracted a new audience to watch and party. We ask Tamara: how does she juggle all the demands of her role? And what is it like to lead a major arts organisation in modern America? Tamara Rojo is a celebrated leader and principal dancer who became Artistic Director of San Francisco Ballet in 2022. Previously, she was Artistic Director and Lead Principal of English National Ballet (ENB) for over 10 years, having also been principal dancer of the Royal Ballet. Her repertoire includes lead roles in all full-length ballet classics, as well as works by Balanchine, Robbins, Ashton and MacMillan. Her numerous awards include the Olivier Award for Best Achievement in Dance in 2017 and the Principe de Asturias Award in 2005. In 2016, she was awarded a CBE for services to dance.

In this episode I'm joined by Vince Scully from Life Sherpa to unpack one of Australia's biggest financial scandals: the collapse of the First Guardian and SHIELD Master Funds. With over 12,000 investors and $1 billion in losses, this case is a stark reminder that even regulated investments can go wrong.

A realização da próxima Conferência do Clima da ONU em Belém do Pará (COP30) aproximará, pela primeira vez, os líderes globais de uma realidade complexa: a de que a preservação ambiental só vai acontecer se garantir renda para as populações locais. Conforme o IBGE, mais de um terço (36%) dos 28 milhões habitantes da Amazônia Legal estão na pobreza, um índice superior à média nacional. Lúcia Müzell, enviada especial da RFI a Belém e Terra Santa (Pará) Ao longo de décadas de ocupação pela agricultura, mineração e extração de madeira, incentivadas pelo Estado, instalou-se na região o imaginário de que a prosperidade passa pelo desmatamento. O desafio hoje é inverter esta lógica: promover políticas que façam a floresta em pé ter mais valor do que derrubada.    Os especialistas em preservação alertam há décadas que uma das chaves para a proteção da floresta é o manejo sustentável dos seus recursos naturais, com a inclusão das comunidades locais nessa bioeconomia. Praticamente 50% do bioma amazônico está sob Unidades de Conservação do governo federal, que podem ser Áreas de Proteção Permanente ou com uso sustentável autorizado e regulamentado, como o das concessões florestais.  A cadeia da devastação começa pelo roubo de madeira. Depois, vem o desmatamento da área e a conversão para outros usos, como a pecuária. A ideia da concessão florestal é “ceder” territórios sob forte pressão de invasões para empresas privadas administrarem, à condição de gerarem o menor impacto possível na floresta e seus ecossistemas.   Essa solução surgiu em 2006 na tentativa de frear a disparada da devastação no Brasil, principalmente em áreas públicas federais, onde o governo havia perdido o controle das atividades ilegais. A ideia central é que a atuação de uma empresa nessas regiões, de difícil acesso, contribua para preservar o conjunto de uma grande área de floresta, e movimente a economia local. Os contratos duram 40 anos e incluem uma série de regras e obrigações socioambientais, com o aval do Ibama (Instituto Brasileiro de Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis). A madeira então recebe um selo de sustentabilidade emitido por organismos reconhecidos internacionalmente – o principal deles é o FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).  Atualmente, 23 concessões florestais estão em operação pelo país. "Qualquer intervenção na floresta gera algum impacto. Mas com a regulamentação do manejo florestal e quando ele é bem feito em campo, você minimiza os impactos, porque a floresta tropical tem um poder de regeneração e crescimento muito grandes”, explica Leonardo Sobral, diretor da área de Florestas e Restauração do Imaflora (Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola), parceiro do FSC no Brasil.     "O que a gente observa, principalmente através de imagens de satélite, é que em algumas regiões que são muito pressionadas e que têm muito desmatamento no entorno, a única área de floresta que restou são florestas que estão sob concessão. Na Amazônia florestal sobre pressão, que é onde está concentrada a atividade ilegal predatória, existem florestas que estão na iminência de serem desmatadas. É onde entendemos que as concessões precisam acontecer, para ela valer mais em pé do que derrubada”, complementa.  Manejo florestal em Terra Santa Na região do Pará onde a mata é mais preservada, no oeste do Estado, a madeireira Ebata é a principal beneficiada de uma concessão em vigor na Floresta Nacional de Saracá-Taquera, entre os municípios de Oriximiná, Faro e Terra Santa. Numa área de 30 mil hectares, todas as árvores de interesse comercial e protegidas foram catalogadas. Para cada espécie, um volume máximo de unidades pode ser extraído por ano – em média, 30 metros cúbicos de madeira por hectare, o que corresponde a 3 a 6 árvores em um espaço equivalente a um campo de futebol. A floresta foi dividida em 30 “pedaços” e, a cada ano, uma área diferente é explorada, enquanto as demais devem permanecer intocadas.   O plano prevê que, três décadas após uma extração, a fatia terá se regenerado naturalmente. "Para atividades extrativistas como madeira, a castanha do Brasil ou outros produtos que vem da floresta, a gente depende que ela continue sendo floresta”, afirma Leônidas Dahás, diretor de Meio Ambiente e Produtos Florestais da empresa. "Se em um ano, a minha empresa extrair errado, derrubar mais do que ela pode, eu não vou ter no ano que vem. Daqui a 30 anos, eu também não vou ter madeira, então eu dependo que a floresta continue existindo.”   Estado incapaz de fiscalizar Unidades de Conservação A atuação da empresa é fiscalizada presencialmente ou via satélite. A movimentação da madeira também é controlada – cada tora é registrada e os seus deslocamentos devem ser informados ao Serviço Florestal Brasil (SFB), que administra as concessões no país.  "Uma floresta que não tem nenhum dono, qualquer um vira dono. Só a presença de alguma atividade, qualquer ela que seja, já inibe a grande parte de quem vai chegar. Quando não tem ninguém, fica fácil acontecer qualquer coisa – qualquer coisa mesmo”, observa Dahás.  A bióloga Joice Ferreira, pesquisadora na Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, se especializou no tema do desenvolvimento sustentável da região e nos impactos do manejo florestal. Num contexto de incapacidade do Estado brasileiro de monitorar todo o território e coibir as ilegalidades na Amazônia, ela vê a alternativa das concessões florestais como “promissora” – embora também estejam sujeitas a irregularidades. Os casos de fraudes na produção de madeira certificada não são raros no país.   “Você tem unidades de conservação que são enormes, então é um desafio muito grande, porque nós não temos funcionários suficientes, ou nós não temos condições de fazer esse monitoramento como deveria ser feito”, frisa. “Geralmente, você tem, em cada unidade de conservação, cinco funcionários.”  Em contrapartida do manejo sustentável, a madeireira transfere porcentagens dos lucros da comercialização da madeira para o Instituo Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) e o SFB, que distribuem os recursos para o Estado do Pará e os municípios que abrigam as Flonas, como são chamadas as Florestas Nacionais.   Populações no interior da Amazônia sofrem de carências básicas O dinheiro obrigatoriamente deve financiar projetos de promoção do uso responsável das florestas, conservação ambiental e melhora da gestão dos recursos naturais na região. Todo o processo é longo, mas foi assim que a cidade de Terra Santa já recebeu mais de R$ 800 mil em verbas adicionais – um aporte que faz diferença no orçamento da pequena localidade de 19 mil habitantes, onde carências graves, como saneamento básico, água encanada e acesso à luz, imperam.  "Quase 7 mil pessoas que moram na zona rural não têm tem acesso à energia elétrica, que é o básico. Outro item básico, que é o saneamento, praticamente toda a população ribeirinha e que mora em terra firme não têm acesso à água potável”, detalha a secretária municipal de Meio Ambiente, Samária Letícia Carvalho Silva. "Elas consomem água do igarapé. Quando chega num período menos chuvoso, a gente tem muita dificuldade de acesso a água, mesmo estando numa área com maior bacia de água doce do mundo. Nas áreas de várzea, enche tudo, então ficam misturados os resíduos de sanitários e eles tomam aquela mesma água. É uma situação muito grave na região.”   Com os repasses da concessão florestal, a prefeitura construiu a sede da Secretaria Municipal do Meio Ambiente, distribuiu nas comunidades 50 sistemas de bombeamento de água movido a energia solar e painéis solares para o uso doméstico. A família da agente de saúde Taila Pinheiro, na localidade de Paraíso, foi uma das beneficiadas. A chegada das placas fotovoltaicas zerou um custo de mais de R$ 300 por mês que eles tinham com gerador de energia.    "Antes disso, era lamparina mesmo. Com o gerador, a gente só ligava de noite, por um período de no máximo duas horas. Era só para não jantar no escuro, porque era no combustível e nós somos humildes, né?”, conta. "A gente não conseguia ficar com a energia de dia."  A energia solar possibilitou à família ter confortos básicos da cidade: armazenar alimentos na geladeira, carregar o celular, assistir televisão. Um segundo projeto trouxe assistência técnica e material para a instalação de hortas comunitárias. A venda do excedente de hortaliças poderá ser uma nova fonte de renda para a localidade, que sobrevive da agricultura de subsistência e benefícios sociais do governo.  "A gente já trabalhava com horta, só que a gente plantava de uma maneira totalmente errada. Até misturar o adubo de maneira errada a gente fazia, por isso a gente acabava matando as nossas plantas”, observa. “A gente quer avançar, para melhorar não só a nossa alimentação, mas levar para a mesa de outras pessoas."  Acesso à água beneficia agricultura Na casa de Maria Erilda Guimarães, em Urupanã, foi o acesso mais fácil à água que foi celebrado: ela e o marido foram sorteados para receber um kit de bombeamento movido a energia solar, com o qual extraem a água do poço ou do próprio rio, com bem menos esforço braçal. No total, quase 50 quilômetros de captura de água pelo sistema foram distribuídos nas comunidades mais carentes do município.    O casal completa a renda da aposentadoria com a venda de bebidas e paçoca caseira para os visitantes no período da estação seca na Amazônia, a partir de agosto. O marido de Maria Erilda, Antônio Conte Pereira, também procura fazer serviços esporádicos – sem este complemento, os dois “passariam fome”.  "Foi um sucesso para nós, que veio mandado pelo governo, não sei bem por quem foi, pela prefeitura, não sei. Mas sei que foi muito bom”, diz Pereira. "Não serviu só para nós, serviu para muitos aqui. A gente liga para as casas, dá água para os vizinhos, que também já sofreram muito carregando água do igarapé, da beira do rio." Urupanã é uma praia de rio da região, onde o solo arenoso dificulta o plantio agrícola. No quintal de casa, os comunitários cultivam mandioca e frutas como mamão, abacaxi e caju. O bombeamento automático da água facilitou o trabalho e possibilitou ampliar o plantio de especiarias como andiroba e cumaru, valorizados pelas propriedades medicinais. "Para muitas famílias que ainda precisavam bater no poço, foi muito legal. A gente conseguiu manter as nossas plantas vivas no verão”, conta Francisco Neto de Almeida, presidente da Associação de Moradores de Urupanã, onde vivem 38 famílias.  'Fazer isso é crime?' A prefeitura reconhece: seria difícil expandir rapidamente a rede elétrica e o acesso à água sem os recursos da madeira e dos minérios da floresta – outra atividade licenciada na Flona de Saracá-Taquera é a extração de bauxita, pela Mineração Rio do Norte.    Entretanto, o vice-prefeito Lucivaldo Ribeiro Batista considera a partilha injusta: para ele, o município não se beneficia o suficiente das riquezas da “Flona”, que ocupa um quarto da superfície total de Terra Santa. Para muitos comunitários, a concessão florestal e a maior fiscalização ambiental na região estrangularam a capacidade produtiva dos pequenos agricultores.  "Existe esse conflito. Hoje, se eu pudesse dizer quais são os vilões dos moradores que estão em torno e dentro da Flona, são os órgãos de fiscalização federal, que impedem um pouco eles de produzirem”, constata ele, filiado ao Partido Renovação Democrática (PRD), de centro-direita. "E, por incrível que pareça, as comunidades que estão dentro da Flona são as que mais produzem para gente, porque é onde estão os melhores solos. Devido todos esses empecilhos que têm, a gente não consegue produzir em larga escala”, lamenta. A secretária de Meio Ambiente busca fazer um trabalho de esclarecimento da população sobre o que se pode ou não fazer nos arredores da floresta protegida. Para ela, a concessão teria o potencial de impulsionar as técnicas de manejo florestal sustentável pelas próprias comunidades dos arredores de Sacará-Taquera. Hoje, entretanto, os comunitários não participam desse ciclo virtuoso, segundo Samária Carvalho Silva.    “Eles pedem ajuda. ‘Fazer isso não é crime?'. Eles têm muito essa necessidade de apoio técnico. Dizem: 'Por que que eu não posso tirar a madeira para fazer minha casa e a madeireira pode?'", conta ela. "Falta muito uma relação entre esses órgãos e as comunidades”, avalia.    Há 11 anos, a funcionária pública Ilaíldes Bentes da Silva trabalhou no cadastramento das famílias que moravam dentro das fronteiras da Flona – que não são demarcadas por cercas, apenas por placas esparsas, em uma vasta área de 440 mil hectares. Ela lembra que centenas de famílias foram pegas de surpresa pelo aumento da fiscalização de atividades que, até então, eram comuns na região.  "Tem muita gente aqui que vive da madeira, mas a maioria dessas madeiras eram tiradas ilegalmente. Com o recadastramento, muitas famílias pararam”, recorda-se. “Para as pessoas que vivem dessa renda, foi meio difícil aceitar, porque é difícil viver de farinha, de tucumã, de castanha e outras coisas colhidas nessa região do Pará.” Kelyson Rodrigues da Silva, marido de Ilaíldes, acrescenta que “até para fazer roça tinha que pedir permissão para derrubar” a mata. “Hoje, eu entendo, mas tem gente que ainda não entende. O ribeirinho, para ele fazer uma casa, tem que derrubar árvore, e às vezes no quintal deles não tem. Então eles vão tirar de onde?”, comenta. “Quando vem a fiscalização, não tem como explicar, não tem documento.” Espalhar o manejo sustentável A ecóloga Joice Ferreira, da Embrapa, salienta que para que o fim do desmatamento deixe de ser uma promessa, não bastará apenas fiscalizar e punir os desmatadores, mas sim disseminar as práticas de uso e manejo sustentável da floresta também pelas populações mais vulneráveis – um desafio de longo prazo.  “Não adianta chegar muito recurso numa comunidade se ela não está preparada para recebê-lo. Muitas vezes, as empresas chegam como se não houvesse nada ali e já não tivesse um conhecimento, mas ele existe”, ressalta. “As chances de sucesso vão ser muito maiores se as empresas chegarem interessadas em dialogar, interagir e aumentar as capacidades do que já existe. Isso é fundamental para qualquer iniciativa de manejo sustentável ter sucesso”, pontua a pesquisadora.   Um dos requisitos dos contratos de concessão florestal é que a mão de obra seja local. A madeireira Ebata reconhece que, no começo, teve dificuldades para contratar trabalhadores só da cidade, mas aos poucos a capacitação de moradores deu resultados. A empresa afirma que 90% dos empregados são de Terra Santa.  “No início da minha carreira em serraria, eu trabalhei em madeireiras que trabalhavam de forma irregular. Me sinto realizado por hoje estar numa empresa que segue as normas, segue as leis corretamente”, afirma Pablio Oliveira da Silva, gerente de produção da filial. Segundo ele, praticamente tudo nas toras é aproveitado, e os resíduos são vendidos para duas olarias que fabricam tijolos. Cerca de 10% da madeira é comercializada no próprio município ou destinada a doações para escolas, centros comunitários ou igrejas.  Na prefeitura, a secretária Samária Silva gostaria de poder ir além: para ela, a unidade de beneficiamento de madeira deveria ser na própria cidade, e não em Belém. Da capital paraense, o produto é vendido para os clientes da Ebapa, principalmente na Europa.   “O município é carente de empreendedorismo e de fontes de renda. A gente praticamente só tem a prefeitura e a mineração”, explica. “Essas madeireiras, ao invés de ter todo esse processo produtivo aqui... ‘Mas o custo é alto. A gente mora numa área isolada, só tem acesso por rios e isso tem um custo'. Mas qual é a compensação ambiental que vai ficar para o município, da floresta? Essas pessoas estão aqui vivendo, o que vai ficar para elas?”, indaga. Foco das concessões é conter o desmatamento O engenheiro florestal Leonardo Sobral, do Imaflora, constata que, de forma geral no Brasil, as comunidades locais não se sentem suficientemente incluídas nas soluções de preservação das florestas, como as concessões. Uma das razões é a falta de conhecimento sobre o que elas são, como funcionam e, principalmente, qual é o seu maior objetivo: conter o desmatamento e as atividades predatórias nas Unidades de Conservação.  Em regiões carentes como no interior do Pará, esses grandes empreendimentos podem frustrar expectativas. “São problemas sociais do Brasil como um todo. Uma concessão florestal não vai conseguir endereçar todos os problemas”, salienta.    Esses desafios também simbolizam um dos aspectos mais delicados das negociações internacionais sobre as mudanças climáticas: o financiamento. Como diminuir a dependência econômica da floresta num contexto em que faltam verbas para atender às necessidades mais básicas das populações que vivem na Amazônia? Como desenvolver uma sociobioeconomia compatível com a floresta se as infraestruturas para apoiar a comercialização dos produtos não-madeireiros são tão deficientes?   “O recurso que chega do financiamento climático pode ser muito importante para fazer a conservação. Nós temos um exemplo bem claro, que é do Fundo Amazônia”, lembra Joice Ferreira. “Agora, nós temos ainda uma lição a aprender que é como fazer esse link com as comunidades locais, que têm o seu tempo próprio, os seus interesses próprios. Ainda não sabemos como fazer esse diálogo de forma justa.” Entre os projetos financiados pelo Fundo Amazônia, alguns destinam-se especificamente a melhorar as condições sociais das populações do bioma, como os programas da Fundação Amazônia Sustentável e o Sanear Amazônia.   Na COP30, em Belém, o Brasil vai oficializar uma proposta de financiamento internacional específico para a conservação das florestas tropicais do planeta, inspirada no Fundo Amazônia, mas incluindo um mecanismo de investimentos que gere dividendos. A ideia central do Fundo Florestas Tropicais Para Sempre (TFFF, na sigla em inglês) é prever recursos perenes para beneficiar os países que apresentem resultados na manutenção e ampliação das áreas de mata preservadas.  “Somos constantemente cobrados por depender apenas de dinheiro público para essa proteção, mas o Fundo Florestas Tropicais para Sempre representa uma virada de chave”, disse a ministra do Meio Ambiente e Mudança do Clima do Brasil, Marina Silva, em um evento em Nova York, em meados de setembro. “Não é doação, e sim uma iniciativa que opera com lógica de mercado. É uma nova forma de financiar a conservação, com responsabilidade compartilhada e visão de futuro", complementou a ministra. * Esta é a segunda reportagem de uma série do podcast Planeta Verde da RFI na Amazônia. As reportagens, parcialmente financiadas pelo Imaflora, vão ao ar todas as quintas-feiras até a COP30 em Belém, em novembro.

Repeat Episode. Have been busy this week at the ASA QLD Invstor Summit on the Gold Coast. Saw Michael Kemp again and thought that this episode bore a repeat for all of the great investing insights. What does an epic poem written around 700BC tell us about investing? How are investors tempted to steer their money onto the rocks of investing underperformance? My guest is Michael Kemp, author of The Ulysses Contract.There's plenty of great lessons in this interview & much more in the book. There's a lot to avoid but as Michael says: "Don't be discouraged by all the negative arguments I'm putting forth. I don't believe you need to become a champion to become a really good investor. Market returns are fantastic returns as long as you achieve them. Don't try and shoot for the stars cuz you're probably full flat on your face. But if you accept that you're gonna be delivered market returns and you are patient, then market returns can be spectacular returns given the power of compounding."Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/ulysses

En este fascinante episodio, Israel conversa con Mercedes Pullman, licenciada en Filología Rusa y Antropología Social y Cultural, vicepresidenta de la Sociedad Española de Antropología y Tradiciones Populares, y directora de la revista Antropología y Tradiciones Populares, sobre su libro "Los secretos mejor guardados de la KGB". El libro es una obra única en castellano que desvela investigaciones y secretos complejos de encontrar debido al hermetismo de la KGB y la barrera idiomática. Mercedes explica que la KGB, fundada en 1923 (originalmente como NKVD), nunca desapareció, sino que cambió de siglas y es la predecesora de la actual SFB de Rusia, aprovechando todos sus recursos y archivos kilométricos. La autora, que trabajó para la KGB como parte de una obligación generalizada en la Unión Soviética, revela que el tema central de su investigación es la relación de la KGB con el ocultismo y el misticismo.

In this episode I'm joined by Elio D'Amato from to unravel the mysteries of investing and ask the fundamental questions: What is a stock market? Why does it exist? And how can you, as an investor, navigate its complexities? I've had a busy couple of weeks and was running out of feed for the hungry podcast beast. This is a repeat episode from October 2024. But Elio is always a great guest with many colourful analogies. The lessons bear repeating.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I talked about my recent trip to Buffalo, NY, to do a live draft for my Scott Fish Bowl 15 team this year. The day started out by picking up my buddy, Dave, who attended the live with me. Once we arrived, we decided to try some of the craft beers they had on draft at the Fattey Beer Company. This location was in the historical Wurlitzer building in which many other shops and breweries are attached as well. After the wait, the draft starts, and from there, the true meaning of fantasy football came out. We all laughed and made picks while some of us tried the chicken sandwich. That was definitely a thumbs up in my book, so come take a journey with me as we talk about drafts, random trips to Canada, and good Ole Craft Beers. Have a great day, everyone, and may the points be with you. Thank you for the support and contributions all of you make for my podcasts and articles each week. Y'all the real #Painbringers!

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed yesterday's UFC Fight Night in Baku, which featured Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Roundtree Jr. I break everything down fast since we have 12 fights to cover, with one almost giving us another zany finish like last week. After that, I talked about drafting live for my SFB 15 team and talking about all of the great fantasy football content we have at Dr. Roto. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

In this episode I welcome back Andrew Page, the founder of Strawman.com, an online investment club for investors to exchange ideas and debate on buying companies on the ASX. Andrew attempts to uncover hidden gems in the Australian small and mid-cap sharemarket, blending meticulous research with a community-driven approach. His latest blog post, Four Inches into the Future, was inspired by a quip from former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. It discusses the value of focusing on what's “reasonably knowable.”Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/andrew-page-four-inchesPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

My guest in this episode is the always welcome Tony Kynaston from QAV. Today, we dove into intrinsic value and company valuations. Tony explained valuation as a heat map. No single number pins down a company's worth. He uses multiple methods to gauge value. Companies get valued by assets or earnings. Think of your house—it's valued by comparing recent sales in your area. A coffee shop works the same way. Its assets, like the premises or equipment, have comparable values. Earnings matter too. Tony uses a discounted cash flow to estimate how long it takes to recover the asking price.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/kynaston-intrinsicTony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to his QAV checklist.

This is a fun conversation with Tobias Bucks, Portfolio Manager of Global Small Caps at Ausbil, that turned out to be one of the most fascinating conversations I've ever had. Tobias has a unique background in social anthropology, bringing a perspective to investing that was as refreshing as it was profound. What started as a discussion about global small cap companies evolved into a deep dive into human behaviour, cultural constructs, and the art of asking the right questions.

I sat down with Petra Bakosova, portfolio manager at Hull Tactical to explore algorithmic trading and math-driven investing. Petra's insights were sharp and accessible. Petra's a math whiz. She studied applied mathematics in Bratislava, Slovakia and financial mathematics at the University of Chicago. Finance, not teaching, became her passion. She joined Hull Tactical, founded by blackjack legend Blair Hull, to manage the HTUS ETF.

This episode features Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool. Scott's an investment guru, a Roosters tragic, and a master at cutting through the noise, whether it's markets or political clown shows. We kicked off with three simple words: Invest, add, wait. Honestly, I could've ended the episode right there—it's that powerful. It's the essence of long-term investing, a mantra that echoes Aesop's tortoise and hare. Scott's been at this game long enough to know there's nothing new under the sun—Ben Graham nailed it in the 1930s, and the rest is just tweaking the recipe.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/scott-phillips-patiencePortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Todd Polke, an investment strategist with over 20 years of experience. His new book, Escape the Middle, is all about breaking free from financial mediocrity. Todd is all about designing a life you don't need to retire from—one with meaning, choice, and purpose. For him, that includes conservation efforts for oceans and wildlife. It's not all about money; it's about what money lets you do for yourself and the world.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/todd-polke-escapePortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

In this episode I sit down with Vince Scully, founder of Life Sherpa, to unpack the booming world of private credit funds listing on the ASX. With nearly a billion dollars raised in 2025 alone (or about $700 million by Vince's count), these funds are catching the eye of retail investors chasing higher yields.

G'day, listeners! In the latest Shares for Beginners, I chat with Roger Montgomery, a funds management pro with over 30 years in the game. He's got a sharp take on where the stock market's at and what's coming as we nudge into 2025. With inflation bouncing around and markets shifting, plenty of us are wondering what's next. Roger doesn't get hung up on the daily dips, he looks at the bigger picture. He reckons some companies are still solid bets, especially those pulling in double-digit earnings growth.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/roger-montgomery-feb-25Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.

Steve Mabb is the Chair of the Board at the Australian Shareholders' Association. In this episode we explore a critical aspect of investing: trust in management. Trust in management is vital to a company's success, especially in light of recent governance failures. Steve emphasises the importance of assessing management quality. He shares insights from his experience monitoring ASX companies, highlighting that while most companies are well-managed, there are exceptions. He urges investors to pay attention to red flags, such as a lack of transparency from management or decisions that seem misaligned with shareholder interests.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/mabb-asaPortfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.
