  • Come for the food, crack up for Nephew Max

    “As my family knows, fancy clothes make my body hurt.” Kidding aside, I’ve been listening to the Sporkful since the beginning. It is a wonderful podcast. And its deeper, tougher topic episodes are always great.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How many ETFs do I actually need? I’m overwhelmed
Q: Hey, Equity Mates. My name is Hamish and I'm looking to start investing in ETFs. For my core, I'm looking at broad diversified ETFs. I'm weighing up the global all-in-one ETF, something like BGBL or DHHF, versus a combination of more regional specific ETFs, something like IVV, XUS and VAE that minimises overlaps.
Glen explains the trade-offs: all-in-one funds give instant diversification and automatic rebalancing, while DIY regional choices require ongoing active management to maintain target allocations and avoid overlaps. The decision depends on the desired level of hands-on involvement, cost, and whether the investor values simplicity or precision in regional exposure.
From living paycheque to paycheque to a $1M+ net worth in 6 years
Q: What core habits helped you grow your wealth?
Tracking expenses, creating and sticking to a budget, and gradually moving from savings to investments—starting with simple steps like 50% saving/ investing early on and later adopting zero-based budgeting.
From living paycheque to paycheque to a $1M+ net worth in 6 years
Q: What was life like before you started investing?
I was living paycheck to paycheck, with money slipping away because I hadn't learned how to manage or plan with it. I spent freely on things I couldn't afford and didn't understand my financial picture.
What putting $3K into a mate’s stock tip taught Ryan about investing
Q: Why did you decide to invest in your own gym and how did you assess that risk?
He relied on a mentor who had already built a gym, observed the business day-to-day as a member, and used that firsthand experience as due diligence, plus a willingness to take a calculated risk rather than a blind leap.
