Transcript: Best of 2021

Hi, everyone, welcome to another episode of MoneyTok, where we help make personal finance and investing simple and accessible through both my own experience. I’ve been doing this for about 20 years now. This show is about money and wealth creation. And we talk about so many ways of making money, bought retirement planning about stocks, bonds, gold, real estate, crypto, and so many kinds of things.

After a hiatus of almost a year, we revived the show in June with episode 9, an exciting discussion about the possible values of Bitcoin, which we presented using three scenarios. We also had quite a hit with episode 11, where Neha drew upon her 15 years of trading experience to discuss ways in which we should approach trading in order to lower the risk of loss. Episode 12, a comprehensive, but complex discussion about inflation, was a bit dry but still garnered a lot of interest, MoneyTok 14, about how and why women should spend more time planning their finances was a breakout hit and our #1 downloaded episode of this second phase.

This was quickly followed by a successful episode 15, about dividend investing as a way to generate the passive income that is so in demand nowadays, but with zero effort vs having to set up a side hustle. And we capped off the year with two back-to-back hits this time with a couple of heavy-hitter guests. Episode 19 with Alex Dwek of Nas Academy gave us some really good tips about how anyone can get started with angel investing and Episode 20 with Mark Reeve from St James Place Wealth Management ended the year quite nicely with a reminder from an experienced wealth manager of how financially successful people think about money.

Together we put out 12 new episodes this year, bringing MoneyTok to the nice round number of 20 episodes published.

What was more encouraging was our growth in listeners from around 60 when we re-started in June to just over 200 today. Our show is small, but growing – and even ranking. A couple of our episodes broke into the top 20 Investing podcasts in India and the top 30 in Singapore, an impressive feat as we beat out a lot of big-name global podcasts to clinch those positions. And we continue to be a steady feature in rankings across various countries.

We owe all this to you and thank you for all your follows, listens, and reviews. We really appreciate you joining us on this journey and we are very encouraged by your response.

So encouraged, in fact, that today I’d like to make a few exciting announcements.

Earlier this year, we formally registered CrazyTok as a company. We believe the world is getting more unequal, with the rewards going disproportionately to those with money, connections, or the inside track. On the other hand, smart, talented, hard-working outsiders struggle and grind their way up the ladder, never really finding the formula for success. At CrazyTok, we provide the platform to connect growth-minded, high-potential individuals with expert and high-achieving insiders so you can get honest advice to accelerate your career, build wealth and shape the life of your dreams. No, it’s not just CrazyTok.

Now that we’ve set up CrazyTok, we plan to shift our content creation into overdrive. I’m happy to announce today the launch of our third show, ShopTok, offering practical advice and tips for small businesses, bootstrapped entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and creators. We’ll drop our first few episodes early Feb, so do look out for it and share it with your side-hustling friends.

But that’s not all on the content side. We realise we don’t have a monopoly on career, financial, and business knowledge. There are many others with excellent knowledge, advice, and expertise in these areas, and we plan to launch more new shows with new creators all through the year so you can get the best advice from the best people, not just us.

All this will take some time, and we are also itching for a break, so we will be off on a hiatus and back online with all these shiny new things by early Feb. Till then, we wish you happy holidays and a wonderful start to the new year.

Thanks for tuning in.

This was Amit with MoneyTok. See you in the new year!
