An Update on the Update. · The Curve

• 0:00
  Hello, everyone. It's me again on my lonesome and I must say it's kind of weird recording
• 0:13
  a podcast on your own, like talking to yourself or to a camera with no one to bounce off
• 0:18
  feels quite strange. But we have an update on the update. So last week for anyone that's
• 0:25
  like, what are you talking about? We decided to share the reason that we weren't putting
• 0:29
  a proper raising the curve episode out. And it's because we're working on a trailer for
• 0:36
  Diary the CEO. As in, we have been asked to put something together for Stephen Bartlett.
• 0:43
  Honestly, I kind of just still can't get over this to watch. And in all honesty, this
• 0:49
  is taking much longer than we expected. We had some really good points come through
• 0:54
  from people saying Stephen loves an origin story, like make sure you include, you know,
• 1:00
  your personal journey and like how the curve started and blah, blah, blah. So anyway,
• 1:04
  while the advice has been amazing, it's slightly thrown us in terms of our plan. So we want
• 1:11
  to make sure that this is done really, really well. It's super amazing. And like potentially
• 1:17
  the best opportunity we've ever had. And who knows what will come from it? Honestly,
• 1:21
  I don't know if all it is as he watches it and says cool podcast. I feel like that
• 1:26
  would be a win. Maybe that could be our byline for the podcast from then on out. But
• 1:29
  essentially, we're not releasing a full episode today. So this is just another little update
• 1:34
  from me. But what I did think would be a really cool thing to do today instead. If you have
• 1:39
  a story when it comes to money or you've got a curve ball, which actually I've got one
• 1:44
  that I'm going to read out in a second, or you think, do you know what would be a really
• 1:47
  cool guest for the curve, this person, whether it's someone you know or someone that's
• 1:52
  in the media, some of the suggestions that have come through, whether it's from yourself
• 1:57
  and it's you or how you should go speak to this person, have really loved that. And it's
• 2:02
  just really cool having all these little content ideas, I guess, coming through from
• 2:06
  the audience. So another example of that is what I thought we could spend today doing.
• 2:12
  And this is an email that came through from someone in the community. I'm not going
• 2:16
  to say her name because I feel like this needs to remain anonymous. But I thought I'm
• 2:20
  going to read out her dilemma, she's given me permission to do that. And if you are able
• 2:26
  to comment on this podcast, wherever you're listening, if you've got any advice or thoughts
• 2:30
  on how she should approach this, that would be amazing. If you have any that you don't
• 2:34
  think you want to post publicly, that's fine. Like get in touch with us on our DMs on
• 2:38
  Instagram or send an email. But preferably, it would be awesome for everyone else to see
• 2:44
  everyone's thoughts. So if you can comment on the podcast, that would be wicked because
• 2:48
  I think this is a situation that's so many people struggle with. So, okay, so it's
• 2:52
  high Sophie, long time listener, first time caller. I'm such a fan of you girls in your
• 2:57
  mission. I absolutely love the potty. I love that. I wanted to email because I found
• 3:02
  myself in a situation that I never thought that I would be in and I'm sure that I won't
• 3:06
  be alone in this. I've just returned to New Zealand after a long-standing living and
• 3:10
  working overseas. My partner and I have just had a very exciting surprise. I am pregnant.
• 3:17
  A little earlier than we expected, but we were planning on it later this year anyway,
• 3:22
  so we asked them. I found myself in a precarious situation, though. I'm applying for jobs
• 3:28
  in an already tight marker with the added anxiety of shit. When do I need to tell them that
• 3:33
  I'm pregnant? I'm going to start showing soon, so I'm just thinking, do I wait and tell
• 3:38
  my employer until I'm offered a job? Do I wait until the first week? Does it look
• 3:43
  snaky if I don't disclose in the first interview? If I do tell them, surely they're just going
• 3:48
  to pull a pin on my application. But if I don't tell them, that's going to start us off
• 3:52
  on a really bad foot, etc, etc. All of these thoughts are swirling around in my head
• 3:57
  and no one to get solid advice from. There's no resources that I know of and I just have
• 4:02
  this horrible feeling of being shoved out of the job market and penalize for a moment
• 4:06
  in my life that's supposed to be precious and exciting. Basically, she needs to know how
• 4:12
  she approaches this, which I just think is such a shit realization of like, wow, yes,
• 4:19
  because it is kind of true. If you're an employer and you don't know, someone's going to be
• 4:22
  taking time off, that's really hard. But also, you shouldn't be penalized just because
• 4:27
  you're pregnant. It's a really weird situation. I'm sure there's a lot of people listening
• 4:33
  that have either been in this or have something to add. So if you have any thoughts, feedback,
• 4:39
  anything that might be helpful for our lovely listener friend who will not be named, please
• 4:44
  comment wherever you listen to this podcast. If you have a curve ball that is similar to
• 4:48
  this and you want some help or advice, always get in touch. But yes, we will be back next
• 4:53
  week with normal interviews, raising the curve episodes and actually really exciting
• 4:59
  we've got Monday, so VIX on holiday for the next couple of weeks. So Monday, we've got
• 5:04
  the curve weekly, which is our podcast that we put out every week, which is like a, you
• 5:07
  know, the news update, business update podcast. And we're currently searching for a co-host
• 5:13
  for me. It's quite fun doing a podcast by myself, but it's way more fun doing it with someone
• 5:17
  else. So if you ask someone who, I don't know, you know a little bit about the markets,
• 5:22
  you know, stock markets, finance, business, somewhat of a financial expert would be great
• 5:28
  because that's obviously not the value that I bring to the podcast. We will link that
• 5:32
  in the podcast show notes. We would love to hear from you. And other than that have
• 5:36
  a great week. And we'll be back next week with normal podcasts in the meantime. If you
• 5:42
  don't already follow our podcast, can you please do that? It helps us so much to grow
• 5:47
  the show and get new exciting guests on and just make our production bigger and better.
• 5:51
  So if you don't already wherever you are listening, please follow and subscribe or whatever
• 5:56
  that is. And we'll be back next week. Thank you so much for listening to Raisin the
