  • Sycophant

    In general I’ve enjoyed the pod over the years. Solid general financial information and interesting investment concepts.

    The latest episode with Andrew Bragg was just disappointing. It was totally politically motivated and one could even say partisan propagandist.

    It was like listening to a giddy school child interview their idol.

    Totally contrary to the way it was set up in the introduction.

    I listen for factual general investment information, and this pod was genuinely anything but tha... more

    The episode you referenced at the beginning of every episode I no longer there I am using Apple Podcasts on the number of episodes is always 399. It seems every time you post a new episode the oldest one disappears. It would be nice if the settings were changed to access the old episode. I don’t know whether you’re aware of this.

  • Great show, poor editing

    I love this show, I’ve learned so much from listening and will definitely miss Kate.

    My one gripe is the editing,which is similar with some of the other Rask podcasts. I skip the first two minutes because the preamble is so long, and occasionally the editing has been a bit random, with little bits that they talk about editing out, being left in. Today I was listening to one of the latest episodes and was totally gripped when the last 15 minutes became a garbled edited chat repeating certain bit... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Insurance Q&A: exclusions, loadings, claims & the $1.4 million dispute
Q: How does the commission structure work for advisers in personal insurance?
Advisers typically receive an upfront initial fee for the advice stage and commissions from the insurer if the client takes out cover. The commissions are standardized across insurers, with roughly 66% upfront and 22% ongoing, and there is debate about whether commissions should be reduced for the client, though Skye Wealth emphasizes that their documentation shows full comparisons to justify recommendations.
Insurance Q&A: exclusions, loadings, claims & the $1.4 million dispute
Q: Can you challenge an insurer's exclusion or loading after a policy is underwritten?
Yes, you can discuss terms with the insurer, and sometimes you can appeal or compare with other insurers. However, advisers often pre-emptively assess reasonableness and may even contact underwriters to argue on behalf of the client. If a term is deemed unreasonable, a client can consider moving providers or negotiating, though underwriting will affect the outcome.
Bad financial advice, offset vs redraw & buying your first home
Q: First home buyer question from the community: I'm 21, saving for my first home, about 12 months away. What should I be doing now to improve my chances of a smooth approval?
Chat with a mortgage broker early (six to nine months before buying) to understand loan capacity, need for a guarantor, and timelines. Avoid unnecessary debt like credit cards; focus on paying bills on time and setting up automated payments. Build a clean transaction history and consider opening a separate accumulation account if saving while preserving options for future borrowing.
Christian Hull on property, calm cash flow and the end of hot money chaos
Q: What is the current status of your five-year and related goals after recent changes?
The five-year goal has evolved into a near-term plan to redraw and build a nice setup near family, with a tiny home on land as a primary objective, while keeping Brisbane as an investment, and maintaining flexibility if circumstances change.
Christian Hull on property, calm cash flow and the end of hot money chaos
Q: How have AI tools influenced your personal and financial organization?
AI tools have helped automate planning and scheduling tasks, turning chaotic processes into structured workflows, but emphasize using AI as a supplement alongside human expertise to avoid overreliance.
