This episode of The Australian Investors Podcast, Australia’s top podcast for stock market investing, features Ryan Newman, the portfolio manager of Motley Fool Australia’s Pro service. Ryan shares his (and Owen’s) story in detail, covering everything from his first investment right up to becoming a Portfolio Manager.
As you will hear or see below, neither Ryan nor Owen’s journey was linear. Both investors went in roundabout ways to get to where they are today. Popular stocks mentioned in this podcast include Appen Ltd (ASX: APX), WiseTech Ltd (ASX: WTC), and Twilio Inc (NYSE: TWLO).

Owen Rask’s notes:
You’re about to hear one of the most enjoyable, intellectual revealing, self-reflecting and honest conversations I had with one of my best friends.
If you have the time, I’d suggest you watch this podcast. It’s available on YouTube as a full video.
Ryan Newman is Portfolio Manager of Motley Fool Pro, a members-only investment service run by The Motley Fool Australia.
In the first part of this podcast Ryan and I do what most close friends would do when you chuck a camera and a microphone in front of their face for the first time: we engage in a bit of light-hearted chit-chat. Even if you’re not one for a bit of banter and back-and-forth, I implore you to keep listening because the full podcast is incredibly insightful.
I get to chat with Ryan each day but this conversation gave me an entirely new understanding of how to develop as an analyst, an investor and as a person.
Ryan shares priceless wisdom from his favourite Australian investors, including Joe Magyer, Matt Joass and Anirban Mahanti — three investors Ryan was lucky enough to count as colleagues and be mentored by. They’re also three people who have appeared on this podcast, most of them more than once.
I also ask Ryan questions like what have your biggest winners and what did you learn from them? What money advice are you giving to your children? There is something for everyone in this extra special episode of The Australian Investors Podcast. I know you’ll enjoy it.
