    RTC108: Our most inspirational story to date.

    RTC108: Our most inspirational story to date.

    Today we welcomed to the studio (otherwise known as Vic's Niece and Nephew's playroom) one of our listeners; Sophia Cich, who told us one of the coolest investing stories we've ever heard. Finding the balance between spending money now for fun vs saving for the future is pretty hard to gauge. How far in the future should you be saving for? How long should you leave your investments for? And can you enjoy any of your investments along the way? Sophia’s story is a great example of how to invest for the future while playing with the fun money - setting a goal, working towards it and reaping the rewards when it's reached.

    TCW60: An investment (very) close to home...

    Today is not a normal Curve Weekly, it's more of a quick life + business update! There is lots of exciting things in the pipeline behind the scenes at The Curve (and although admittedly a little biased), we think this is one of the most exciting investing opportunities we have ever talked about.

    Back to regular programming next Monday!

    RTC107: Saving for a dopamine hit with Aleks Nikolic.

    RTC107: Saving for a dopamine hit with Aleks Nikolic.

    This week we’re speaking with the internet’s big sister, Aleks Nikolic - founder of Broke Girl Wealth. As a full-time lawyer and advocate for financial literacy, Aleks offers invaluable insights into financial red flags to look out for in relationships, JOMO, and how a hit of dopamine can be obtained by saving and investing. In this episode, Aleks guides us away from conventional money saving approaches like sponge-cutting (yep, you read correctly) towards a more fulfilling financial future where our finances align with our passions and values.

    TCW59: Tik, Tok, Boom.

    TCW59: Tik, Tok, Boom.

    Soph’s finally back in London, but she’s arrived with some pretty painful baggage (shoutout to Freya, Curve fan / world’s best air hostess on hand with antiseptic and ice). And while one iconic duo is now back together, the relationship between China and the U.S. seems to be deteriorating further. The U.S. are trying to pass a bill that could mean 170 million American users will be banned from using the Chinese platform TikTok... ouch. In other Curve Weekly news, Adidas posts it’s first ever net loss after 30 years and dating apps might be getting the AI makeover we didn't know it needed.

    RTC106: Investing in jewels, art and all things luxury with Webb’s Auction House.

    RTC106: Investing in jewels, art and all things luxury with Webb’s Auction House.

    We did our first LIVE podcast event in New Zealand, and it was sparkly, chic and extremely luxurious. We had the absolute honour of sitting down with Tasha Jenkins and Christine Power (two brilliant experts from the iconic Webb’s Auction House) to talk about the ins and outs of investing in luxury items. The questions (like the Veuve) were flowing. Where do we start? How long do we keep a piece for? How volatile is the market? Do ethics come into it? Is orange a bad choice? Should we keep the box? Plus, some great audience questions, Soph’s Birkin ‘mouth fart’ and lots and lots of laughs (thanks, Mike Hallwright). A golden episode for lovers of all things lush. 

    We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Webbs for hosting us at their beautiful auction house and to all of our favourite brands who got involved. Massive thank you to Veuve Clicquot, Almighty, Batched, Eve Wellness, Aotea, and Goldie, we couldn't have done it without you!

    TCW58: Crypto’s up, Oprah’s out and Soph’s a little bit tiddly.

    Crypto is flying high, up 150% in the last six months (and Soph and Vic invested!). To celebrate, Soph’s enjoying a Corona in bed while Vic sips on her lemon water. Bliss. And the good news doesn’t end there. The price of gold is also hitting record highs, parental leave in Australia is getting 12% sweeter, and while Oprah’s reasons for leaving the board may be questionable, it seems that Weight Watchers is getting a taste of its own low-carb, low-fat and highly outdated medicine. Oh, and Vic’s into circumcision now. Buckle up, people.

Best Podcast & Platform

Just want to say a massive thanks to Soph & Vic for creating this podcast and your platform. I am an avid listener of both TCW and RTC, and have done the foundations of investing course. THANK YOU for giving me the confidence and skills to invest, before I found your cute little poddy I thought investing was for men and was terrified of it! I now have weekly auto investments set up in Sharsies and am thrilled to feel like I know a little bit about this scary corner of financial world! Highly recommend this podcast to all!!
