Who We Are & Why We Invest

Equity Mates Media
About this episode

Join us and Get Started Investing with Equity Mates as we take you on a journey into the world of investing.


The stockmarket brings with it amazing potential to create wealth, but many people miss out on this opportunity. We don't want you to be one of them!


When we started Equity Mates, we were just like you, confused about where to begin and intimidated by the complex terminology. But with our help, you can overcome these barriers and start investing with confidence. In this podcast series, we'll guide you through the process, from setting up your account to making your first trade.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Who we are - Bryce and Alec (Ren)
  • Our personal investing experiences
  • The power of compound interest, and why the stockmarket is a wealth-creating machine
  • How investing early can help you achieve early retirement
  • The benefits of staying informed about the world through investing
  • Our philosophy of "just get started"
  • Where to find us and join our community!


Start now, and kick-start your investment journey.
