Warning: career highlight and humble brag post incoming 😉
I never thought I’d be the one sitting across the table interviewing people, let alone one of New Zealand’s top podcasters. And, as it turns out, it’s not nearly as easy as she makes it look (there is a reason she wins awards).
It was such fun switching seats with
Frances Cook for the latest episode of It All Starts Here, the podcast series
realestate.co.nz created to celebrate our 30th birthday.
Frances grew up in an epic childhood bedroom with pastel walls and unicorns, and always treasured the stability of home. She also knew she wanted to help New Zealanders make better financial decisions. So, six weeks postpartum, she took the biggest risk of her career and turned her spare room into a podcast studio 🎙️
Two years later, that spare-room idea is now the award-winning podcast and successful media platform Making Cents, which I’ve been lucky enough to be part of since the start. I love our time together, talking all things property 🏠
Frances also has an interesting perspective on home: it’s an asset, but not necessarily an investment. We always have such insightful conversations about property, money and the decisions we make around both, so it was pretty special to swap seats for once.
Thank you for sharing your story, Frances. I truly loved our chat ❤️
Listen to our full conversation wherever you get your podcasts, you know the drill.
