[Audio Pod] How to Start Investing, and Profiting from Loans

Loading player...
In Useful Updates, we unpack a whirlwind of updates — from Singapore’s scam crackdown and Elon Musk’s record-breaking payday to South Africa’s MTBPS drama, Cell C’s listing ambitions, and the global chip war heating up again.

For our Deep Dive, we sit down with Ivyn Sambo — lawyer turned financial educator and creator of The Investor’s Chair. Ivyn opens up about selling his entire investment portfolio to fund his wedding, his journey into finance, and the creative process behind his viral TikToks.

Then for "Make It Make Sense", we follow the money through a messy Post Office payout saga, the PIC’s strange “pay-to-leave” loan deal, and a R300bn RAF headache.

Finally, in Unfiltered Opinion, Simon draws the line on Christmas decorations — and shares the backstory behind that stance.
