Stacked another million

Not dollars this time.

But podcast downloads.

I am thrilled to share a massive milestone with you. The Keep The Change podcast has officially hit one million downloads!

We did it!

Those 1,000,000 downloads wouldn’t have been possible without each one of you loyal listeners.

You’ve listened, told others to listen and even re-listened.

I can even see we’ve had a listener in Norway and Iceland! Hello if that is you!

The podcast started as me reading out these weekly Money Mail lessons and then evolved into subject discussions with Mikey Smith Mortgage Advisor (GuardianSmith.co.nz) and interviews with guests that I believe we can all learn from.

With money, it is so important for us to open our minds and see things differently and that is what I am striving to do with these podcasts and lessons.

I know people are hungry for solutions and inspiration and that is what the podcast is centered around.

Don’t get me wrong, there will be plenty of ‘this is the reality’ chat and plenty of audio smacks in the eardrum.

However, the key focus is to listen, learn and take action.

We all have different start lines and run at a different pace. I try my best to put content together that meets you at your start line and at your pace.

This is a quick thanks to all of you who tune in and spread the word of KTC!

From the very first episode to the latest, your supportive messages have helped fuel the passion and commitment to deliver engaging, inspiring and insightful content.

Whether you’ve been here from the start or recently discovered KTC, I am grateful for your part in making the podcast a success and ticking off that first million downloads.

Following on from a recent lesson [Money Mail 205], I want this to be an example of action leading to action.

I started writing Money Mail, that turned into content on social media, that turned into podcasts, into speaking gigs, into a studio and into something special that I can reveal with you right now.

Generate KiwiSaver Scheme has sponsored Keep The Change to help me reach more people and make my goal of helping 100,000 Kiwi improve their financial literacy a reality.

Bang!

I recorded a podcast with Linus Field from Generate. Linus is one of Generate's Accredited Auckland Advisers.

Every day, Linus meets with people to discuss KiwiSaver so we talk about what themes he sees in these meetings and what we could all be thinking about to ensure we are maximising our investments. Enjoy!

I am a big fan of enjoying the process but also celebrating the wins.

So cheers to me, to you and to this moment in the KTC story.

There is so much more to come.

Action creates action.

If we don’t start, we don’t get to see where it takes us.

And the podcast has a long way to take us.

Improving your financial literacy and improving mine.

I am looking forward to the next million downloads with you all.

As Brian Tracey says: "The First Million Is Hard, But The Second Million Is Inevitable."

Thank you for being a crucial part of our podcast family. Here’s to more milestones together.

If you are a loyal reader of Keep The Change Money Mail, you may be interested to know that this is lesson 208.

Quick math suggests that 208 / 52 = 4.

It's not quite 4 years as there are often more than 52 Fridays in a year, but we've been consistent.

Cheers if you've been here since the start.

There is a lot of work to do.

A recent survey released this week said that 70% of people are worried about money.

That is too high. Worry compounds and stays with us day to day.

The content is designed to get people ready and be more in control of their finances so that they worry less about money and can focus on more important aspects of life.

Help me spread the word and lets get more people educated.

Have a great weekend,

Luke
