Podcasts about advisers

What is good advice? In this episode of "Know Your Ombud," host Maya Fisher-French interviews John Simpson, the FAIS Ombud, about how his office protects consumers when financial advice goes wrong – and what you need to know to protect yourself. Real-Life Cases Simpson shares several cases that illustrate how the FAIS Ombud holds financial advisers to a much higher standard. Advisers cannot assume a client understands the product, and any critical clauses or require specific action by the client must be highlighted by the adviser: ·       Why the Ombud ordered financial advisors to pay the clients' insurance claim after failing to mention one critical insurance requirement •             An adviser is held responsible for his client having the wrong insurance for his Uber business •             Why bad tax advice meant an adviser was responsible for his client's R85 000 tax bill When Advisers Get It Right (And Wrong) The podcast doesn't just highlight adviser failures. Simpson provides a balanced perspective on what quality financial advice should look like and when consumers must take responsibility for their own decisions – particularly in high-risk areas like forex trading where up to 70% of retail investors lose money. Your Financial Rights Simpson explains how the FAIS Ombud process works:  ·       How to file a complaint if you've received poor financial advice ·       What special protections exist for vulnerable consumers ·       The limitations of the Ombud's authority and when they can't help Protect Yourself Simpson provides straightforward advice on how to verify your adviser's credentials, what questions to ask before signing any financial agreement, and the simple Google search that could save you from financial disaster. Whether you're planning for retirement, buying insurance, or considering investments, this podcast provides essential knowledge about your rights and how to protect your financial future.

Galaxies THIRD HOUR 11:00-11:15 5/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Plato-Tyrant-Greatest-Philosophic-Masterpiece/dp/1324093188/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 Plato is one of history's most influential thinkers, the "sublime philosopher" whose writings remain foundational to Western culture. He is known for the brilliant dialogues in which he depicted his teacher, Socrates, discussing ethical truths with prominent citizens of Athens. Yet the image we have of Plato—an ethereal figure far removed from society and politics, who conjured abstract ideas in peaceful groves—is a fiction, created by Plato's admirers and built up over centuries. In fact, Plato was very much a man of the world. In Plato and the Tyrant, acclaimed historian and classicist James Romm draws on personal letters of Plato—documents that have long been kept in obscurity—to show how a philosopher helped topple the leading Greek power of the era: the opulent city of Syracuse. There, Plato encountered two authoritarian rulers, a father and son both named Dionysius, and tried to steer them toward philosophy. At the same time, he worked on his masterpiece, Republic, in which he conceived a ruler who unites perfect wisdom with absolute power. That dream has echoed down through the ages and given rise to a famous term, one that Plato himself didn't actually use: philosopher-king. As Romm reveals, Plato's time in Syracuse helped shape Republic—and also had disastrous results for Plato himself and for all of Greek Sicily. The younger Dionysius, emotionally unstable but intellectually curious, welcomed Plato with open arms, but soon the relationship soured. Plato's close friendship with Dionysius's uncle, Dion—possibly a bond of romantic love—created a rift in the ruling family that led to a chaotic civil war. Combining thrilling political drama with explorations of Plato's most cherished ideas, Romm takes us into the heart of Greece's late classical age, a time when many believed that democracy had failed. Plato's search for solutions led him to write his fervent plea for a new political order, and also led him to a place where he believed his theories might be put into practice. But Plato and the Tyrant demonstrates how Plato's experiment with enlightened autocracy spiraled into catastrophe, and also gives us nothing less than a new account of the origins of Western political thought. 11:15-11:30 6/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) 11:30-11:45 7/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) 11:45-12:00 8/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12:00-12:15 Canada: Measuring the Trump White House first five months.

Listen to Dan Solin, President at Solin Strategic LLC and Evidence Based Advisor Marketing, as he shares his journey from law to financial advice, revealing how his legal background shaped a preventative, client-first mindset. In this episode, Dan unpacks the power of simplicity in investing, advocating for low-cost, transparent strategies that cut through industry complexity. He introduces the neuroscience-informed “Solin process” to build trust and engagement and explains why listening—not talking—is the true competitive edge for advisers. He explores how AI and avatars can scale personalisation and content delivery, critiques outdated asset-based fees, and champions fairer, fixed models. Dan concludes by affirming that while technology will transform the industry, the human element remains essential in delivering meaningful, emotionally intelligent financial advice in Australia's evolving landscape. 00:01:35 – Dan's background Dan began his career as a lawyer before shifting into financial advising. He explains how his legal background influenced his focus on prevention over reaction, leading him to help clients make  better investment decisions before problems arise. 00:03:01 – Writing and evidence-based investing Dan discusses his books on evidence-based investing, explaining how the industry often overcomplicates what should be a straightforward discipline. His philosophy centres around simplicity, low-cost solutions, and the importance of transparency. 00:05:09 – The Solin process He introduces the “Solin process,” a neuroscience-informed approach to client engagement that focuses on asking open-ended questions. This process helps advisors convert prospects into clients by building trust and credibility. 00:08:08 – Neuroscience and listening Referencing studies from Harvard, Dan explains that listening creates pleasurable brain responses in clients. In contrast, dominating the conversation often leads to disengagement. Listening, he argues, is the true competitive edge in advisery services. 00:15:00 – Leveraging technology Dan explains how advisors can use AI and digital avatars to scale their outreach while maintaining  personalisation. These tools are especially effective for connecting with younger clients and  enhancing marketing efforts. 00:18:32 – Investment simplicity Dan challenges the idea that complex strategies are better. He advocates for evidence-based investing and the use of index funds, stressing that clear communication and low-cost solutions often yield better outcomes for clients. 00:22:10 – Rethinking fee structures Dan critiques asset-based fees, calling them outdated and often misaligned with the actual work advisors perform. He recommends more transparent, service-based or fixed-fee models that reflect real value delivered. 00:24:38 – The role of advisers in a tech-enabled future While AI will take over many routine functions, Dan believes the human element will remain essential. Advisers should focus on addressing complex emotional and financial needs, while tech  handles repetitive processes. 00:27:44 – Using avatars to scale content Dan shares how he uses avatars to turn written content into hundreds of video clips. This allows him to scale his marketing and provide 24/7 access to resources without additional workload. 00:31:51 – Final reflections Dan concludes by affirming his belief in the integrity of most advisors and their willingness to evolve. By adopting better communication strategies and new technologies, the industry can deliver more effective and ethical service.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest ceilings for mortgage and financial advisers — hitting £20k months and not knowing how to move beyond it. Whether you're at £5k, £20k or even £80k/month, you'll face the same issues: overwhelm, firefighting, and the fear of letting go. Watch the free 10-minute training I mention here: https://systemise-scale.com/ I share insights from real conversations with clients scaling to £1m+ a year, and explain the mindset, systems, and strategies you need to implement now if you want more time, more income, and more freedom.

Our show opens with both Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on the evening news circuit, hawking their book, “Original Sin.” It's such a mockery, even Jon Stewart weighs-in on the lead-up to the launch. And, once again, we illustrate how we no longer have anything resembling “journalism” anymore, at least not from the bought-and-paid-for Legacy/mainstream media. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) comments on the Trump administration going after people for just doing their jobs. Yet, when we go back to Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), her story has shifted noticeably from when she first suggested she was a victim. Now she wants to blame and escalations on the presence of ICE officers. Finally, we spent the remainder of the show looking at today's jaw-dropping moment when President Trump was hosting the President of South Africa to the White House. As only Trump can do, he owned the room and the narrative regarding the white genocide taking place in that country.

On paper at least the 2 richest economies in the EU are also among the smallest: Ireland and Luxembourg. Our economy relies on technology and pharma of course but it's also a major player in fund management. Our biggest European rival to lure these big global pension funds is Luxembourg whose regulator might be seen as more relaxed than our Central bank. Both nations have been accused of being tax havens. But are they?

Donald Trump has long lived in his own reality, even before becoming President, and the reason is because he made those around him terrified to give him bad news. And now that he's back in the Oval Office, the same thing is happening. Trump continues to insist that things are clearly much better than they actually are, and the only way he could genuinely believe that is if everyone around him is constantly lying to him. Republicans have now changed their tune from "everything is fine with the economy" to "just shut up and suffer in silence." Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville is leading the charge, telling Americans last week that they are going to have to suffer because, as he put it, "no pain, no gain." Tuberville compared struggling families to weight lifters and suggested that it is ok that you can't afford groceries because you will eventually (maybe) be able to. This isn't just condescending, it is flat out WRONG.Allies of Donald Trump are still, mostly, unwilling to speak out against his horrific policies and economic destruction publicly, but that doesn't mean that they aren't letting their voices be heard. According to new reports, Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles is being "inundated" with panicked phone calls from Trump's allies who are complaining and getting angry about the economic devastation that he is causing on a daily basis. For the second time in just a few weeks, Donald Trump wants to know what idiot signed a trade deal with Canada that allows them to "take advantage" of the United States, and also to supply us with energy. The trade deal he's referring to is the USMCA, which was signed into law in early 2020 by HIM. HE is the idiot that he keeps looking for, he's just too much of an idiot to understand that he's the answer to his own question.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

National political advisers have been urged to serve the country's major tasks and work to improve people's livelihoods through high-quality consultation and suggestions, in order to further promote China's modernization drive.Wang Huning, chairman of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body, made the remarks while delivering a speech to around 2,100 national political advisers at the closing meeting of its third session in Beijing on Monday.President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the meeting, which was held at the Great Hall of the People.National political advisers should focus on key and difficult issues in deepening reform, promoting high-quality development, ensuring and improving people's livelihoods, and maintaining social stability in carrying out surveys and making suggestions and proposals, Wang said.The CPPCC should strengthen the mechanism for reflecting public opinion, connecting with the people, and serving the people, enhancing the unity of Chinese people at home and abroad, he added.A resolution on the work report of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, a resolution on a report on how the proposals from political advisers have been handled since the previous annual session, a report on the examination of new proposals, and a political resolution on the third session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee were approved at the meeting.Samuel Yung Wing-ki, a member of the CPPCC National Committee from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said, "At this meeting, I have gained a deep understanding of the country's major policies and development direction, and I have also felt the country's emphasis on Hong Kong."Hong Kong should leverage its advantages in international exchanges and the "one country, two systems" policy to attract more talent to develop in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, he said.Jin Hua, a national political adviser from Qinghai province, said that at this year's two sessions she wore the traditional attire of the Mongolian ethnic group that she had got married in, as she considered the meeting to be a major event for the country."I am most proud that I can use my platform to bring the livelihood-related facts of the ethnic group to the national level. Then I can deliver good policies to our ethnic minority areas," she said.Yang Yuni, another national political adviser and a post-1995 member of the Hani ethnic group, said that she will make efforts to combine artificial intelligence with ethnic minority songs and dances to attract more young people to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, thereby assisting in vitalizing rural areas.

The rift between Elon Musk and Republicans is about to get worse. The New York Times reports that in an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, President Trump's senior agency heads fought bitterly with Musk.

Tellingly, they expressly don't want to take the blame for what Musk is unleashing! We talked to New Republic staff writer Kate Aronoff, who has a good new piece about some of DOGE's hidden impacts.

The concept that education determines the future of a nation is a widely acknowledged consensus globally.That could be the reason education was at the forefront of the discussion on Thursday when President Xi Jinping joined the group meeting in Beijing of the country's national political advisers from the China Democratic League, the China Association for Promoting Democracy and the education sector."In every household, education is now a focal point of attention, with numerous hot topics in this field," Xi told the political advisers, who were attending the third session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "This not only indicates a strong educational atmosphere, but also reflects a certain gap between our education system and the expectations of the people."Cai Guangjie, deputy director of the Education Department of Sichuan province, presented her research findings to Xi, revealing a significant demographic shift in the country — the decrease in the school-age population.To address these emerging challenges, Cai gave her advice on optimizing resource allocation, including controlling the construction of new schools and facilitating the transfer of students from under-resourced rural schools to better-equipped schools in towns.Cai's remarks evoked Xi's memories of the early days of China's reform and opening-up. At the time, the country provided many children with the opportunity to receive education through initiatives such as raising funds from various sources to establish and operate schools, and through Project Hope, which was launched in 1989 with the goal of ensuring that students in impoverished areas were given greater access to education."Back then, I was quite happy to have raised funds to build a primary school in Liangjiahe village. But the school was later closed," Xi recalled. Liangjiahe was an impoverished village in northwestern China's Shaanxi province.However, the school's closure was actually a positive development, Xi said, because students were relocated to a school in the township area to receive a higher-quality education.Xi also said that new issues have been brought about "by changes occurring amid progress. The process of solving these problems is also a process of development and advancement".China's preschool education is an example. With the increase in the number of people living in urban areas in recent years, many kindergartens have been left unused in some areas, while the number of quality kindergartens is still short of demand.Xi said this situation cannot be changed immediately, as solving these issues requires adjustment of the educational structure."The adjustment might be realized only after the implementation of one or two five-year plans," he said. "There are many factors to consider in the process. But if we don't start planning now, it will be too late by then."Urgent priorityXi said that although education requires sustained efforts over time, it is also an urgent priority.He cited the development of education in the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, saying that tremendous changes have taken place since then.At that time, the country was still very poor, and literacy classes were organized to combat widespread illiteracy. "The matter of importance back then was whether people would have enough to eat. Since the entire nation was experiencing a period of economic hardship, spending on education was very limited," he said.Nowadays, school-age children's access to basic education in China has been significantly expanded, and the conditions and resources necessary for running a school have also greatly improved.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, the country's education spending has exceeded 4 percent of GDP for 12 consecutive years."This fully demonstrates the great importance attached to modern education by the Party," Xi said.However, the challenges keep showing up.Xu Kun, president of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told Xi that he considers artificial intelligence as a key variable in building China into a leading country in education, given both the opportunities and the challenges that it brings.Xi noted that with the emergence of AI and the internet of things, the tools and methods for education will change, as will the abilities that students need to obtain."Reforms in such areas must be made in a timely manner," he said.Meanwhile, he stressed that efforts regarding the intellectual, emotional and spiritual development of students, as well as the cultivation of their basic cognitive and problem-solving abilities, must not be neglected."A solid foundation is essential," Xi said.He also highlighted the importance of reading."In the digital age, with the fast pace of society, it is not easy to sit down, calm your mind and patiently read a book," Xi said.He affirmed the proposal by Zheng Jiajian, president of Fujian Normal University, on creating a social environment in which people love to read.Xi said that children should develop the good habit of reading from a young age. "We can combine digital reading with traditional reading to preserve our core values and literacy," he said.He added that as long as young people establish firm ideals and strengthen beliefs and confidence from childhood, they will become reliable successors in carrying forward socialism with Chinese characteristics."Chinese modernization and national rejuvenation will depend on the next generations," Xi said.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports President Trump says he's left instructions for what should happen if Iran assassinates him.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order Monday night tasking the Pentagon to build a plan for a multilayered missile defense system underpinned by both space-based sensors and interceptors. Under the directive, titled “Iron Dome for America,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is required to develop “a reference architecture, capabilities-based requirements and an implementation plan” to address emerging aerial threats against the U.S. homeland. The strategy, due to the president in the next 60 days, must focus on defense against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles and other aerial platforms. An artificial intelligence advisory panel created during the first Trump administration is delivering the president a list of 10 actionable AI priorities to pursue as he begins his second term. The National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee, established under section 5104 of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act and signed into law by President Donald Trump in 2020, voted Tuesday in favor of a 10-priority draft document of “timely AI policy issues and proposed solutions.” The recommendations laid out in that document, NAIAC said, should “provide an opportunity for the administration to achieve its goals to advance the United States' continued AI leadership and competitiveness.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — The Teamsters union has launched a nationwide strike against Amazon just six days before Christmas.  They're striking at Amazon facilities across the country starting and the union says it's the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history.  Picket lines are up at Amazon facilities in New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, the Chicago area and three locations in Southern California.    Two ---- A bill to avert a partial government shutdown that was backed by President-elect Trump failed to pass the House last night. The bill needed two-thirds of the House chamber to pass, but failed to even net a majority. Two Democrats voted with the majority of Republicans to pass the bill, while 38 GOP lawmakers bucked Trump to oppose it. That brings us closer to the possibility of a partial shutdown, with the deadline coming at the end of today.   And number three — The Wall Street Journal  is out with a lengthy story documenting how President Joe Biden's advisers conspired to fool most of the public, the press, and even Biden's allies about the President's rapidly deteriorating mental health. It's a blockbuster, a look behind the curtain of what many of you suspected over the past four years … and were called conspiracy theorists for noticing. The big question: is the political press is D.C. dangerously incompetent or simple partisan cheerleaders? At this point it's one or the other.

Pete Hegseth is on his fourth day of trying to convince Senators he's the right person to lead the DOD. Plus, Trump is focusing on getting former Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. confirmed. And, co-chairs of Trump's future Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, arrived on Capitol Hill to pitch Republicans on slashing federal spending -- which could cause chaos.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee releases its 350-page report documenting that President Biden failed to plan for the collapse of the Afghan government, though he was warned it would happen. But does the report let Donald Trump off the hook too easily, and what does it say about who should be America's next commander in chief?  Learn more about your ad choices.
