Insurance for the Early Hustle

Sarah from The One Up Project reached out after connecting with us through a mutual friend, Courtney Manu. She wanted to explain insurance in a way that felt relevant to her audience: young, independent, and just starting to figure out their financial situation. And that’s exactly what we did.

We kōrero’d about:

• Why getting cover early makes a big difference down the track

• How income protection and private health insurance can safeguard your independence

• The kind of protection that matters when you don’t have debt, dependents, or a partner to fall back on

We talked about what financial safety looks like when you’re young, single, and building a life on your terms. The vibe was honest, practical, and full of those “oh, I hadn’t thought of that” moments.

Why It’s Worth Listening

This episode planted seeds. It’s for anyone who thinks they’re “too early” to need cover, or who’s never had someone explain it in plain language. We broke down what makes sense to put in place now, so future-you isn’t left exposed if things change unexpectedly.

We loved connecting with Sarah and her community, and we’re grateful for the chance to bring this kōrero to the table in a way that felt relatable and respectful of where people are at.
