It’s session 100 – woohoo! This week I have something a little bit different for you. It’s just a bit of fun, so if you came to this session for serious financial information, then I’m really sorry, you’ll have to wait till next week!

If this show is of any use to you, it would help me massively if you would take the time to leave me a review on iTunes. This has a huge impact on keeping me near the top of the rankings, which in turns helps more people to find the show and to subscribe.

Sponsor Message

This podcast is brought to you with the help of Seven Investment Management, a firm of investment managers based in London. They specialise in multi-asset investing, bringing institutional investing techniques to ordinary people like you and me. 7IM put their name to my show and to my site because they believe in what I’m doing, trying to get decent, easy-to-understand financial information out to the world. I’m very grateful to them for their support.

Interview

The bulk of this episode is a daft interview, of me, by my two daughters, Ellie & Kate, aged 15 and 11. I’ll spare you the details of that, but let’s get on to the important bit:

Thanks for the last one hundred sessions

So, after 100 sessions of this podcast, I think it is worth marking the occasion with some thank-yous for those who have helped me get this far. 100 sessions is a heck of an achievement, though I say it myself – many podcasts don’t make it past episode 10!

So thank you to:

• My ever-patient wife, Joanne, plus the two mingbag girls you heard earlier!
• My colleagues at Jacksons Wealth Management, Roger, Chas and all the staff.
• My sponsors, Seven Investment Management who have supported me for over three years and without whom this whole thing would not be possible.
• Rob Bence and Rob Dix from The Property Podcast for giving me an early shout-out on their phenomenally popular show. They are going great guns and they deserve all the success which is coming their way
• Some super-fans who are quick to comment on Twitter and iTunes: Andy N and Sarah B, Miss Moneypocket
• All the many people who have left ratings and reviews on iTunes – please continue to do so!
• Everyone who has listened to the show and sent emails, left comments and the few of you who have sent voicemail questions (please more people do this!) – This show would be nothing without the listeners – it would just be me talking to myself!

I have now busted through 250,000 downloads, which is another cracking milestone. That’s taken just under two years since I began a weekly show in May 2013. If the current trajectory continues, then I could break half a million downloads possibly by the end of the year. I am now getting 5,500 every week. Please tell everyone you know!

Reviews

My thanks to Moomin_dc from the UK, Bozemac from the US and silverslippers from Spain for their reviews this week – you guys rock!

Next Session Announcement

Next time we'll be looking back a little bit and asking what we have learned over the first 100 sessions of the MeaningfulMoney podcast.

If you have a question on this subject, or any other financial query that you want answering here on the show, then the best way to do that is to leave me a voicemail at meaningfulmoney.tv/askpete
