This episode is about IPOs

You’ll learn:

• What an IPO really is (and why it’s not a “new company”)
• What usually happens to prices after the excitement wears off
• Why waiting can be a power move, not a missed opportunity
• Where IPOs actually belong in a portfolio (and where they don’t)
• How to decide if an IPO is worth your attention or something to watch calmly from the sidelines

We walk through a real Airbnb case study so you can see how timing, emotion, and expectations actually play out in real life.

This isn’t about being first. It’s about being intentional.

Listen if you want to stop feeling late, stop chasing hype, and start making grounded, confident decisions when the next “big thing” goes public.

Monthly Action: look up a company that IPO' in the past 3-5 years and have a look at what happened to the price after the IPO.

This episode blows that idea up.

In this drop, Sophie pulls back the curtain on how investments can pay you without selling anything, and why understanding this completely changes how you think about risk, confidence, and patience.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• The real story of how Sophie started investing in crypto with just €25 a month
• How she thinks about why certain coins belong in her portfolio (and where they don’t)
• The four roles every investment plays and where crypto actually fits
• What staking is, explained simply, and why getting paid weekly changed her money psychology
• Why having a low risk tolerance doesn’t mean avoiding growth
• How earning while holding can make investing feel calmer, not scarier

This is not a technical training. It’s access to Sophie’s thinking process and a new way of seeing what’s possible beyond ETFs and “wait-and-sell” investing.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt like investing only benefits future-you, this episode will shift that.

By the end, you’ll stop asking “Is this good?” and start asking “What role does this play for me?”
