5 Profiles, Blogs, and Podcasts I Actually Follow (And Why You Might Too)
Let’s be real—there’s a lot of content out there. Some of its gold, some of it’s... well, let’s just say I’ve wasted hours of my life I’ll never get back. But every now and then, I stumble across something useful, entertaining, or at least mildly amusing. Since I spend a good chunk of my time in the estate planning world (and life in general), I’ve put together a mix of profiles, blogs, and podcasts that I genuinely enjoy. Not all of them are about wills and estates, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right?
1. The Pineapple Project (Podcast)
If finance podcasts usually put you to sleep, this one might just wake you up. Hosted by comedian Claire Hooper, The Pineapple Project makes talking about money (including estate planning) actually fun. It’s packed with practical advice minus the usual finance jargon that makes your eyes glaze over.
2. Vikki Petraitis - Casefile Presents (Podcast)
Alright, this one has nothing to do with estate planning, but if you love true crime, Vikki Petraitis is an Aussie legend. Her storytelling is top-notch, and who doesn’t love a good mystery? It’s the perfect background noise while pretending to be productive.
3. The Minimalists (Podcast & Blog)
Why I follow: If you’ve ever felt like your life is cluttered—physically or mentally—The Minimalists offer practical advice on simplifying things. They don’t just talk about decluttering your home; they dive into how minimalism can improve finances, relationships, and well-being.
Why you might like it: Their content isn’t about getting rid of everything you own. It’s about making space for what truly matters.
4. Scott Pape - The Barefoot Investor (Blog & Book)
I know, I know—this one’s an obvious choice, but there’s a reason why Scott Pape’s advice is gospel for so many Aussies. His no-BS take on money, investing, and estate planning makes it all seem manageable. Plus, his approach is refreshingly simple (and doesn’t involve sacrificing your daily coffee).
5. The Guilty Feminist (Podcast)
A mix of comedy, feminism, and real talk about modern life. Again, nothing to do with estate planning, but it’s hilarious and thought-provoking, which is a pretty solid combo. Sometimes you just need a break from thinking about wills and beneficiaries.
So, there you have it—five recommendations that won’t make you want to poke your eyes out with a pen. Whether you’re into finance, law, true crime, or just a good laugh, these are all worth checking out. And if you’ve got any favourites, send them my way—I’m always up for adding another distraction to my list!
