Episode Notes

Brooke Roberts joins us today to discuss the sharemarket - lowering barriers of entry to an historically restrictive market.

Why should those with $50 not have the same opportunities as those with $500k. Brooke joins host Darcy Ungaro and the mysterious 'Pumpkin' as they ponder this question, as well as others

Their philosophy is that people should be able to invest regular amounts that they can afford. Recently celebrating a year since Sharesies launch, they now have over 21,000 customers who have invested over $22m.
