  • Love this

    I absolutely love The Curve. I’m a recently divorced single mother in the UK and over the last year or so I’ve had to completely sort out all my finances from rock bottom and have started to regularly invest. Your podcast is really helping me learn huge amounts about investing and have hope for my future finances and I also love all the tangents!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Leadership Expert Rethinking How We Work, Parent & Show Up, with Dr Ellen Joan Ford.
Q: How should someone ask for flexible arrangements without sounding like they're complaining?
Frame requests as solutions and outcomes, propose a trial period, and show how the requested changes will still meet or exceed required outputs, with a plan to review and adjust after the trial.
The Leadership Expert Rethinking How We Work, Parent & Show Up, with Dr Ellen Joan Ford.
Q: What is Hashtag Work School Hours and how can leaders implement it?
It's a set of principles prioritizing outputs over hours, valuing employees as whole people, and providing flexibility. Leaders should experiment with different schedules, align work with school terms, and involve the team in designing practical tweaks that maintain or improve outcomes.
The Leadership Expert Rethinking How We Work, Parent & Show Up, with Dr Ellen Joan Ford.
Q: Why is the nine-to-five structure so problematic for modern families?
Because it was designed for a different era and assumes a single caregiver at home; it undervalues flexibility, creates cognitive and emotional load on the caregiver (often the mother), and reduces overall productivity when people are forced to fit life into hours rather than deliverables.
The reason Spotify's stock price jumped 18% in one day.
Q: If I sold 500 of my stock holdings, how do I determine how much is profit versus original investment for capital gains tax purposes?
Selling 500 would typically mean you are selling a portion of your profit while retaining part of your original investment; the profit portion is calculated as the gain above your initial cost basis, and any tax depends on how long you've held the asset and local tax rules. If you sold all, you'd be taxed on 100% of the profit; if you sold half, you'd be taxed on half the gain. If you want precise guidance, consult a tax professional.
How to Set Up Multiple Bank Accounts for Better Budgeting.
Q: How many bank accounts do you actually use for budgeting, and how do you manage transferring between them?
The guest explains she uses many accounts (around 16) to bucket money for different categories, and while transfers between accounts are quick, she emphasizes keeping a buffer and ensuring every dollar has a purpose. They also discuss color-coding accounts to visualize spending categories.
