RTC139: Breaking down the US election.

Welcome to The Curve Weekly

Time capsules & self-reflection

Bitcoin’s rise & a 400% company boom

Martha Stewart doc & female leadership

Why is Buffett hoarding cash?

Airbnb CEO bans one-on-one meetings

Listener curveball stories

A peek into a hilariously earnest high school time capsule reveals tiny Vic’s fascination with the news and dreams of PwC, New York, and a life well-lived. Spoiler: some of it worked out, but the love life? Let’s just say it’s been a journey. Shifting gears to today’s big money moves, Bitcoin is on a tear, nearing $90k, and we’re dissecting the FOMO, the risks, and why it’s okay to sit on your hands instead of chasing the hype. Meanwhile, Warren Buffett’s $300 billion cash pile has us wondering - what does the Oracle of Omaha know that we don’t?

Plus, we share some all-too-relatable listener stories: from accidentally skipping council rates (oops) to learning the hard way about crypto scams. It’s a crash course in why financial literacy, emergency funds, and a touch of scepticism are your best friends. Sprinkle in some love for long-term investing (shoutout to Buffett) and reflections on the realities of building wealth - slow and steady wins the race.

Got a money mishap or a financial flex to share? Drop us a voice note on The Curve Hotline - we might just feature your story (and give you a virtual Curve cuddle)!

Shifting the narrative

Thank you for listening

OnlyFans has changed the game for content creators, and few have played it better than Grace Wears Lace. Rising from hotel receptionist to internet millionaire, Grace pulled in a jaw-dropping $1 million in her first year alone. Now, with a thriving business and three properties under her belt (soon to be four), she’s proof that the platform isn't just about subscriptions - it’s a lucrative business strategy, with monthly earnings ranging from $60,000 to over $100,000.

Grace takes us through the unfiltered reality of her world, from the trial-and-error of content pricing to the explosive discovery of financial domination (or "findom"), where her clients actually pay her to control their finances. In fact, some even beg her to “drain” their accounts. It turns out that success on OnlyFans requires way more than just a few photos - it’s a full-time hustle, a business model that involves marketing savvy, high-stakes decision-making, and a strong understanding of personal boundaries. Grace demystifies the misconceptions, breaks down the stereotypes, and gives a whole new meaning to “earning it on your own terms.”

With the recent election on everyone’s mind, we’re diving into how these shifts are affecting the markets and the moral dilemmas they bring. From Trump’s policies impacting the S&P 500 to the ethical questions around investing in high-carbon companies, we’re unpacking the complex intersection of finance, values, and what it means to stay true to our principles as investors. Our amazing commercial director, Dani, joins in to share insights on balancing profit with purpose, as we look at the rise in crypto, oil, and gas stocks - and why they may or may not align with our long-term goals. How can we stay committed to the companies doing good when the market rewards those that don’t? And when billionaires are pocketing billions, where does that leave the rest of us? Join us for a reflective discussion on finding integrity and direction in today’s financial landscape, even when it feels like everything’s upside down.
