ETFs made simple: how to build a strong investing foundation

ETFs have become one of the easiest and most effective ways to start investing, but with thousands to choose from, it can get overwhelming fast. In this episode of The Winner’s Playbook, Josh and Billy strip it right back and talk about how to keep investing simple using ETFs and index funds.

They cover what ETFs actually are, why they’re a great way to get started, and how they compare to stock picking. You’ll hear real stories from their early investing days (including some flukes and facepalms), and why most people are better off with a core ETF portfolio rather than chasing hot trends.

They also dive into the pros and cons of active versus passive investing, how to avoid doubling up on the same holdings, and why rebalancing matters more than most people think. Plus, they explain the hidden costs, platform differences, and how to structure your investments in and outside of super.

If you’ve ever asked, “Where do I even start with investing?” this episode is a clear, practical roadmap that can help you build confidence, stay consistent and grow your wealth over time without all the noise.
