Season 4, Episode 9 - Featuring Megan Talmage

 The daughter of Iranian refugees who arrived in Australia without any English, Megan grew up to be a stockbroker in Perth, specialising in 'small cap' stocks, or those deemed too small for the major firms to invest in, despite some companies being valued at up to $12 billion. Megan used this knowledge to found her own company Blue Orbit, which specialises in anylsis and investment in small cap stocks that no one else is really paying attention to. We sat down to talk to Megan about her experiences in stockbroking, starting her own firm, and her passion about women's financial literacy. <br/><br/>In this episode: <br/>0:00 Intro <br/>0:36 Megan's Journey <br/>5:54 The importance of women's finance <br/>9:00 Planning strategically <br/>12:18 Why I'm disappointment with financial planners <br/>15:25 Founding Blue Orbit <br/>19:09 Starting a business in a highly regulated industry <br/>20:38 Lessons learnt in business <br/>22:58 The importance of upskilling <br/>23:41 Conquering my fear with skydiving <br/>26:32 Quickfire Questions <br/>31:40 My #1 advice to listeners <br/><br/>Get in contact with Megan at: <br/>https://blueorbitam.com/
