Informative and authentic

I had been an avid listener since I decided to take the leap into the financial advice sector. Whilst I was working in financial services beforehand, it wasn’t financial advice specifically and so it was great to really get an insight into the types of roles and experiences people had in this new sector.

I was kindly invited to do a podcast around a year ago and was the first guest with Elena. Pre podcast it was well organised and during the whole process Elena was authentic and genuinely interested in my story. Overall a great podcast for anyone to listen to regardless of whether you are new to the industry or experienced individual

Excellent content, worth regularly listening

I might have been the first guest on this podcast. It was a very good experience - video, audio, a studio and some great questions from Sam.

I particularly like the focus on offering different kinds of niche's and perspectives including race, gender, adviser's with tattoo's etc. which really help to demonstrate that financial services can and does include diversity. I hope it will encourage more younger people to join what I believe is a very meaningful profession.

It was great to be featured on the Podcast. Sam takes pride in understanding people - it was nice to open up to him about my career. The best part was that I'd felt like I'd done this many times before but it was my first, reassuring approach that helped me feel comfortable!

I was a guest on the podcast

I was a guest on the podcast. Elena’s questions were well thought out and take for a really interesting discussion. Being on the other side of the microphone was strange but I’m really impressed with the set up. The content on the podcast is brilliant for the financial profession as a whole.

Worked with Sam on the podcast and he was incredibly insightful with his questions and has actually meant that prospective Financial Planners have reached out to me directly asking questions on how I got into the industry.

He was measured with regards to when we should do the podcast, stating that I have should have some good experience before us doing the podcast which was well thought out.

I initially listened to this podcast before joining the industry and it gave me great insight into the industry.

5 Star, Sam is a fantastic host!

I've listened to the pod pretty much since it started and always find there's a nugget of gold in every episode. As someone who is at the beginning of their career in the profession, hearing from peers about their experience, good and bad, has been super useful. Keep it up team.

Great content!!!

Great content for someone like me who is getting into the financial services sector. I’m training to be a financial planner and I couldn’t ask for better content. Every episode on the podcast Sam interviews a different guest and they all have a different story with different advice and tips on the industry. I don’t find it repetitive and boring as I do with other podcasts. Great work guys, keep it going!!
