You can wipe your tears and put away your handkerchief — we’re not going anywhere. Pocketbook’s announcement of their closure cast some confusion over our own state of trading due to our similar names, but CEO Jason sets the record straight and offers some insight on the inspiration behind our treasured title.

Having a solid foundation of financial literacy is a hugely beneficial and often under-serviced skill. As staunch believers in “knowledge is power” when it comes to your money, we thought we’d share how some of the team teach ourselves about personal finance, what education we received at school, and who inspires our financial journey.

As the sun rose on a brand new year, co-founder and CEO Jason found himself ruminating on the ‘what’, ‘when’ and ‘how’ of 2021. As for the ‘why’?

It’s that time of year to look back on the past 12 months and ruminate on all of your choices made. We asked some of the PocketSmith team to do just that and reveal their purchases of delight and disappointment in 2021.

Homemaker is a very evocative word. A page straight out of 1950’s “Good Housekeeping”, it conjures the image of a subservient wife relegated to the kitchen. The problematic stereotype remains, but so too does the importance of a home and how we function within it. Co-founder and CEO Jason proposes challenging the term, and redefining it to honor the unsung leaders and problem-solvers of every uniquely flavored household.

2020 started on a note of unbridled optimism here at PocketSmith. This was going to be our year of growth and new feature rollouts! Then in early March, everything changed. Co-founder and CEO Jason reflects on the tumultuous year that was, and on the importance of kindness and wellbeing as measures of success.
