**Get Started Investing**

Hi! I’m Jess. This year, I finally started investing. After years of indecision, I took a leap and began documenting my journey, bringing you along to learn the investing ropes together.

Designed to build your confidence, our short, easy-to-understand episodes make investing approachable- so you can make the most of your money. New episodes drop every Tuesday & Thursday.

**On Tuesdays:** I tackle real questions from a beginner investor- whether my own or sent in by our community. We cover everything from ETFs & shares, to super, property and personal finance.

**On Thursdays:** Our series, *How I Got Started* where I chat with a community members to hear the highs, lows and lessons from their investing journey- proving that investing really is for anyone.
