Part Two. In October of 2020, Maddy and Soph were inspired to start a podcast about investing to help make it more accessible for their friends. One of their inspirations? Cathie Wood. A true trailblazer in the investing world, Cathie is a revolutionary female founder setting out to change the world. Her tenacity to challenge the status quo has earned her a place amongst the world's greatest investors.

After almost three years of joking that one day Cathie might join the pair on the pod, YIGC have turned that vision into a reality.

In part two of two, the pair put some hard hitting questions to Cathie about ARK's investment strategy. Maddy and Sophie ask why ARK doesn't have a dedicated ESG fund, how to differentiate a fad from future when analysing companies, and why Cathie believes Bitcoin will hit a price target of US$1.4m. If you're curious about where the opportunities may lie in ESG, AI and Bitcoin, then this episode is for you.

Just a foreword: in today's episode we will be referencing ARK's research, the Big Ideas Report. This report highlights the 5 key disruptive innovation platforms that ARK believes will have the most transformative impacts on the future of society. For a more fulfilling and engaging listen, have a read of the report here: https://ark-invest.com/big-ideas-2023/. Trust us, it will leave you feeling inspired.

Keep track of Sophie and Maddy between the episodes on Instagram, or on TikTok, and come and be part of the conversation on Facebook with our You’re In Good Company Discussion Group.
