Soph’s finally back in London, but she’s arrived with some pretty painful baggage (shoutout to Freya, Curve fan / world’s best air hostess on hand with antiseptic and ice). And while one iconic duo is now back together, the relationship between China and the U.S. seems to be deteriorating further. The U.S. are trying to pass a bill that could mean 170 million American users will be banned from using the Chinese platform TikTok... ouch. In other Curve Weekly news, Adidas posts it’s first ever net loss after 30 years and dating apps might be getting the AI makeover we didn't know it needed.

Financial disclaimer

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)!

Welcome to Raising The Curve

Introduction

How Grace started on OnlyFans

How much Grace makes

Content creation

What OnlyFans take

Marketing yourself

The biggest misconceptions around OnlyFans

Grace’s Investments

Findom

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.
