A huge moment for us here at Equity Mates - we're celebrating 1,000 episodes of Equity Mates Investing and Get Started Investing. In this episode we take a moment and reflect on the past 7 years. We discuss how we started, the milestones along the way and get into the business behind the podcasts. Reaching 1,000 episodes would not have been possible without the incredible community we've built along the way. So however you engage with Equity Mates, we want to say a massive thank you for joining us on the journey. We're passionate about financial literacy and believe that what we've learned over the years are critical life skills for all people. We hope our podcasts have helped you build your skills and take the next steps on your financial journeys. Here's to the next 1,000 episodes! —------ In the spirit of reconciliation, Equity Mates Media and the hosts of Equity Mates Investing acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today.  —------ Equity Mates Investing is a product of Equity Mates Media.  This podcast is intended for education and entertainment purposes.
