It's with great excitement that we've been able to return to our Mates of Equity Mates series, with a special on bonds. This one is a little different to the last, with Kip. In this episode, we sit down with a good mate from university, Knes, who is now heavily involved in the bonds industry. Bonds has been an asset we've wanted to explore a little deeper, so this was the perfect opportunity.
