not really.
KeezyHOST
And then was the advice that maybe you should download Sharesies?

John CampbellHOST
We've been talking a little bit about wages this morning and how when you're interviewing for a job, you express what you hope your salary ban will be.
John CampbellHOST
But New Zealand businesses are apparently showing more interest in employee share schemes as part of your package, according to Sharesies.
John CampbellHOST
Is that right?
Gyles BeckfordCORRESPONDENT
It is indeed.
Gyles BeckfordCORRESPONDENT
Nearly a third of those that they surveyed already offer workers a slice of the company as part of their overall pay package.
Gyles BeckfordCORRESPONDENT
And a further 58%, nearly two thirds, say they're considering introducing a scheme in the next three years.
Gyles BeckfordCORRESPONDENT
Sharesies business general manager Susanna Batley says it's positive to see growing interest in the schemes.
Gyles BeckfordCORRESPONDENT
She says it's also encouraging that virtually all the firms that have already got schemes underway, they're considering actually opening them up to more workers.
JessHOST
And that can either sit in cash, like a cash type fund, cash savings, or an offset or flexi type facility against your owner occupied mortgage.
James BlairHOST
What if someone was like, hey, Jess, I've got my Sharesies account.
James BlairHOST
That's my emergency

LukeHOST
I think a good 45% of them are sold now.
LukeHOST
be awesome to be able to try and fill that place out but we will see how we go and yeah it's going to be a great evening slowly putting it together with the structure of the night but if you came last year I think you'll know a little bit of how we do it and it'll be another great night of learning and also connection with other people who So really looking forward to that and stoked to have Sharesies helping me with that too and presenting it in 2026.
LukeHOST
But anyway, how the hell did I end up in Niue? And this, I guess, is a good example of...
LukeHOST
When you continue to do things and talk about them, then more things come your way is a very simplistic way to explain it.
Mike BaylyHOST
Well, today's guest can.
Mike BaylyHOST
We've got Nick Cox, who's the principal data engineer at Sharesies with us today.
Mike BaylyHOST
Everyone will know Sharesies, the wealth platform used by more than a million people across New Zealand and Australia.
Mike BaylyHOST
And Nick's data team has been at the heart of ensuring that SharesEast has the right data platform at the centre on its Snowflake instance, which they've been using for more than six years to make sure they've got the best access to data and information to really harness AI.
Mike BaylyHOST
Even this year alone, SharesEast made a deliberate decision to become an AI company.
Mike BaylyHOST
Thanks for having me.
Mike BaylyHOST
No problem at all.
Mike BaylyHOST
Well, why don't we start big picture? You know, data teams can mean so many things these days, but what does the data team at Sharesies actually do day to day? How big is it? Who uses it? What do you do as part of leading that team as well?
James McHoneyPANELIST
It is a waste of time, but it's better than a lot of the things they could be doing.
James McHoneyPANELIST
It's better than doom scrolling, better than binge watching, and several other vices, which we don't need to list them all, but maybe, just maybe, they can use their statistical brains to help improve your Sharesies account or something helpful.
James McHoneyPANELIST
Just play the long game and let them play a bit of fantasy.
D'Arcy WaldegraveHOST
Are you talking to me or your significant other?
Claire ColemanHOST
And the lolly scramble has begun.
Claire ColemanHOST
The financial literacy lolly scramble with them offering all year 11s $500 to go invest in Sharesies.
LiamHOST
Did they actually name Sharesies?
Claire ColemanHOST
I'm sure they did.
Claire ColemanHOST
I'm now going to look it back up because I feel like I'm making that up.
LiamHOST
Because I'd be really interested in whether or not they would actually have to put something like that out to tender.
Claire ColemanHOST
Yeah.
LiamHOST
If they could go and just pick a company like Sharesies and just say we're going to go and give essentially a stack of taxpayers money to the people that own Sharesies.
Donna MoalaHOST
That's exactly what I think.
Donna MoalaHOST
So before we get started in all the glorious things that you do, I would love for you to share with everybody a little bit about yourself, a little bit about who you are, what's led you to this passion and what you've created with Sharesies and Wealth Growth and all of that and a little bit about you, if you
Brooke RobertsGUEST
could.
Brooke RobertsGUEST
Yeah, well, most importantly, yeah, I feel like one of the most important things about me right now is I'm a mum.
14 MINS LATER
Donna MoalaHOST
But yes, it comes back to, we're going back to the money stuff, but it's all hand in hand, isn't it, with the parenting? It really is the guiding, supporting and mentoring.
Donna MoalaHOST
Yeah.
Donna MoalaHOST
So let's dive in a little bit more then about the app, Sharesies app.
Donna MoalaHOST
So what it does, what people would expect.
Sarah BradleyHOST
