That Mint Podcast

An episode looking back at That Mint Podcast so far, covering how it started, what it’s meant not just for listeners but the hosts themselves, and why we just can’t seem to create an episode without a little ‘e’. 

Join us for a look and laugh at highlights including everything from our infamous compound interest illustration to favourite guests and somewhat less relevant favourite nursery rhymes!

Ok, so this episode is certainly one to get you thinking, particularly about whether the finance industry as a whole, with its jargon and serious-looking colours, confusing acronyms and stock images, is off-putting to its audience before they even look into financial advice.

Join Cathi, Jo (and our lovely guest Abbie Knight) for another episode of all singing all, dancing finance fun!

The girls are back with a follow-up episode to their Coronovirus special. Starting with some admissions of sneaky stockpiling and Jo’s bad spending habits - this episode will look at the long-term effects or COVID-19 and what the last 3 months can teach us from a financial point of view, (with an inevitable pirate joke thrown in for good measure!)

As finance professionals, there’s nothing we love more than a detailed, sensible plan! But is that possible when it comes to financially planning for a baby? What savings should you have, how secure should your income be?

With some intimidating stats around the cost of children hitting the news recently, Cathi and Jo tackle one of the toughest, most unpredictable decisions and question whether you can apply logic to every life choice.

It used to be that a 25-year mortgage was the longest financial commitment a person could make, but with many grown up children still comfortable at home is this still the case? Jo is certainly starting to wonder whether parenthood and Pringles will turn out to be her biggest long-term outlay…

In their biggest gamble to date, Cathi and Jo will try to convince you of the benefits of investing for normal people.

This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no pyramid scheme either. (This is FCA…approved.)  

Along the way Jo reveals the riskiest thing she’s ever done for an ice cream, and Cathi puts her mathematical mind against the roulette wheel.

And finally we get some pro-tips from Lee, an experienced investor and Asset Manager, who - contrary to all those stereotypes - is a warm, funny and down-to-earth guy.

It’s a topsy-turvy episode, for a topsy-turvy world. Leave your expectations at the door…

Yes, it's the beloved topic of savings, that everyone knows is important, but most avoid talking about. Guest this episode is Brendan Shanks from Husky Finance, who joins in the chaos to talk workplace pensions, and his jargon-free description of auto-enrolment
