Our colleague Jess has been keeping a secret. During a 10 year career in the finance industry, she had never told a soul- until now.

Jess has never invested.

She wanted to start, she knew how to start (even listened to our 12 Steps to Get Started three times.)

But she has not started.

So why not start now and document the journey?

Over the course of the next 12 episodes, Jess will start investing- in real time. Each week, she’ll speak to an expert who will walk her through the steps, answer her questions and help her take action to get invested. Plus she’ll chat to Equity Mates community members about their investing journey, getting real-world advice from all walks of life.

If you’ve been delaying investing or have someone in your life who wants to- this is the sign to start and go on the journey with her.
