Are kids the key to a better KiwiSaver?
As the retirement debate heats up ahead of the general election, we’re talking to Max Rashbrooke, a political writer and researcher, and Matt McPherson, the head of Sharesies KiwiSaver. With the launch of the Sharesies Kids contribution, we explore the power of compounding interest to renew our national savings and revive home ownership hopes—and why the current system could leave nearly half of us facing a retirement below the poverty line. Hear proposals to improve all of our futures, from making employer contributions mandatory to enrolment at birth, and how putting 100 ordinary New Zealanders in a room could provide a new pathway to answers.

The investor’s guide to the SpaceX IPO
As SpaceX announces they’re going public, in-house experts Jacki Neumann and Susannah Batley break down the initial public offering (IPO) process and SpaceX’s upcoming Nasdaq debut. Discover how companies come onto the exchange for the first time—and what’s different about this historic IPO. Find out what the SpaceX offer document reveals, including a total addressable market target almost equal to the entire GDP of the United States. The team evaluates Elon Musk’s iron grip on the company’s leadership, which US pension funds have called the “most management-favorable governance structure” in modern market history. And with retail seeing an unusually high 30% allocation from SpaceX, Jacqui and Susannah explain how institutional roadshows can create information asymmetry for retail investors. Plus, why Musk faces a unique 366-day lockup period before he can sell a single share.

Can you still hit your first $100k? With Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change
Why are we hooked on negative news? Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change joins us to dissect the media "doom loop" and how the algorithmic bias towards negativity impacts money decisions. We discuss the psychological impact of hitting your first $100,000 milestone and why compounding returns feel completely different after you cross that barrier. Luke explains how he’d reverse-engineer a 25-year financial plan, how to overcome action paralysis, and whether the goals of the FIRE movement are really attainable—or desirable. We also discuss the gap between Kiwi business and the wider Asia-Pacific region when it comes to adopting technology — and how a new generation is acquiring business from retiring baby boomers and using digital upgrades to rapidly increase profitability.
