What if the celebrities you follow aren't just influencers anymore, but investors? And what if scrolling their launches is quietly teaching you how equity works? 

In episode four, Sarah and Tash unpack Alix Earle's Netflix reality show and the growing wave of celebs (Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Joe Jonas) taking equity in the brands they back - not just slapping their name on them. 

They also bust two of the biggest myths that stop people from investing: you need to be an expert, and you need a lot of money. Spoiler: neither is true. 

Plus a Loud Line question on picking an S&P 500 ETF.
