  • I am not ok

    There is an ad far to frequently saying I’m not ok. Yeh I get it mental health is important but if you have to play ads to pay for your podcast how about you not play the say one on playback constantly.

  • Audio quality

    Useful stuff but could do with better audio. Could also do with better diversity of host (different change from Frances would be welcomed) as well as greater ethnic diversity of guests.

  • Decent show, but…

    Consistently bad audio since Business Desk took over. Dunno if it’s software or internet issues, but it’s every episode so it’s on the interviewer’s end. Not a good look, needs to be fixed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Infrastructure: funding the next decade of growth?
Q: How do you approach risk and diversification within an infrastructure portfolio?
We diversify across asset types (airports, pipelines, data centers, energy generation) and geographies, monitor regulatory changes, and emphasize balance sheet strength and CAPEX needs to ensure we're not overexposed to a single risk factor.
Infrastructure: funding the next decade of growth?
Q: Why are such assets attractive for long-term investors given inflation and interest-rate environments?
Infrastructure often offers inflation-protected revenue (e.g., tolls, electricity pricing) and can withstand higher debt costs with regulated margins, while delivering relatively stable cash flows and meaningful dividends, which makes them resilient in different rate cycles.
Infrastructure: funding the next decade of growth?
Q: What is an infrastructure asset and what kinds of assets are included?
An infrastructure asset is something people use regularly, such as airports, ports, roads, energy providers, and increasingly data centers, which tend to be large, essential, and often privately owned or regulated, providing stable cash flows over long horizons.
The Sharesies Index: Inside the latest investor trends
Q: So, Jordan, can you just give us a quick overview of the latest index findings?
The index moved back into a confident range, rising over the quarter from 43 to 57, with Rocket Lab overtaking Air New Zealand as the top held investment, SpaceX IPO boosting buzz, and indicators like net deposits and buy-to-sell ratios pointing to continued investor optimism and a tilt toward long-term growth.
Wellington’s creative comeback — with Yu Mei
Q: Thanks so much for joining us today, Jessie. Can you tell us a little bit about why you started Yu Mei, what problem you're solving and the journey you've been on since?
Jessie describes starting Yu Mei as a response to needing a bag that could hold everything for a day, evolving from a student project in Dunedin to a globally available line through persistent hands-on work and a broad set of skills.
