Market moves, redundancies and building a personal brand

The Australian share market has lagged behind the US, tech has continued to dominate globally, and investors are being reminded why diversification still matters.

In this episode of The Winner’s Playbook, Josh and Billy unpack what has been happening across the Australian and global share markets, including the role of AI, tech stocks, index funds, active managers and why chasing the latest market trend can be risky.

They also discuss redundancies, job cuts and what to do if your role is suddenly affected, from building cash reserves and understanding your entitlements to using your network and keeping future options open.

Josh and Billy also talk through the value of building a personal brand, why social media is becoming a search engine, and how being visible online can help create career and business opportunities.

To close out, they break down private ancillary funds, how they work, who they may suit, and how charitable giving can be structured more effectively.
