# Get Started Investing

A podcast by Equity Mates Media. Hi! I'm Jess. This year, I finally started investing. After years of indecision, I took a leap and began documenting my journey, bringing you along to learn the investing ropes together. Designed to build your confidence, our short, easy-to-understand episodes make investing approachable- so you can make the most of your money. New episodes drop every Tuesday & Thursday. On Tuesdays: I tackle real questions from a beginner investor- whether my own or sent in by our community. We cover everything from ETFs & shares, to super, property and personal finance. On Thursdays: Our series, How I Got Started where I chat with a community members to hear the highs, lows and lessons from their investing journey- proving that investing really is for anyone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
