Charlie Hartley returns to BTL to talk about the joys of fishing for smallmouth bass on the Great Lakes.

Episode 223: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Mark Opar — a clinical physiotherapist of ten years who made the leap into sports technology, and now serves as Head of Strategy for Health at VALD, one of the world's leading sports technology companies. Mark's career has bridged the clinic and the boardroom — giving him a rare perspective on what it takes to translate elite sport innovation into everyday healthcare. VALD's force plates, strength testing systems, and assessment tools are trusted by thousands of elite teams worldwide, and Mark's mission is to bring that same objective assessment capability to clinics, hospitals, and the general population. ㅤ At the centre of the conversation is a provocative thesis: objective assessment isn't just about better data — it's about better engagement. Mark unpacks how giving practitioners and patients a shared language changes the dynamic of care, driving motivation, trust, and ultimately better outcomes. ㅤ The discussion also explores the realities of moving from clinician to corporate strategist, and what elite sport can teach healthcare about measuring what matters. ㅤ Topics Discussed: The Clinician-to-Corporate Transition VALD's Position in the Market Crossing from Elite Sport to Healthcare Objective Assessment as Engagement Sponsors Gameplan is a rehab Project Management & Data Analytics Platform that improves operational & communication efficiency during rehab.

Josh Daniels from Pro Bass Adventures joins BTL to talk about the hot fishing on Mexico's Lake Baccarac, plus the reopening of Lake El Salto and what he expects from the historic fishery in the upcoming months.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A episode, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer real listener questions on UK pensions, retirement planning, tax and ISAs. They cover pension contributions for a spouse, starting a career in financial planning, reducing workplace pension fees with a SIPP, navigating the 60% tax trap, retiring abroad with UK pensions, and upcoming ISA rule changes from April 2027. A practical episode for UK savers, investors and future retirees looking to make clearer, more confident financial decisions. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA55    01:26  Question 1 Thanks Roger and Pete for the wealth of information you share and all the time you put in to share on finance and pensions. I have listened to a lot of your podcasts on my treks to and from work and finally took the plunge to retire early at 52 to enjoy life and get away from the desk for 8-9 hours a day. I had a DB pension which allowed me to take early whilst my wife has various pensions from previous jobs but all have the rule to take from 57 onwards. So my question is to help 4-5 years down the line. Could I put £300 a month (or the equivalent of 300 minus government contribution) into my wife's pension to continue to take account of government contributions and take the opportunity of her being on below the £12k tax threshold after giving up work? Is this possible or would this be classed as pension recycling as the government would presume the cash invested is from the lump sum I got from my defined benefit pension or is there a way to prove the money is from pay before I retired? Many thanks for your advice and support giving many people greater confidence with pensions and finances. Wayne 04:10  Question 2 Hello Pete & Roger, Thanks for all the great content and information - you are both much better than any AI chatbots! Apologies for the long back story but here goes: My name is Michael, 33 and I live in central Scotland. I have worked in a tech startup for the last 6 years but felt like a change around 18 months ago so I began sitting my CII exams. To date I have passed RO1 - RO5 and also recently passed CF6. I am sitting RO6 in April this year - wish me luck! I have recently secured an opportunity to work self employed for a specialist mortgage firm and start in early May as a trainee mortgage advisor. I have been offered a set monthly payment for 6 months then a 70/30 split after that. I would hope to have achieved CAS within that 6 month period. If I pass RO6 in April, I will have my diploma. My goal is to work as a financial planner but since I've done self study, I don't have any real experience of the financial services industry. I am very ambitious but also trying to be realistic about how to sensibly map out a route to being a successful financial planner relatively quickly. To throw a spanner in the works, a family friend who is a 62 year old IFA with £30m aum is interested in discussing me joining him and eventually taking over the business. It sounds exciting but also a little scary to me. He is only a one man band. For now I've accepted the mortgage trainee position but not sure if I am doing the right thing. The owner of the mortgage company now lives in Dubai and is looking to also remove himself from his business - he has 8 admin staff who WFH from across Scotland and he is the main adviser, specialising in BTL, bridging and commercial finance. They are only authorised for mortgages by the FCA. After that dissertation, my questions are: 1. From your experience and perspective, are mortgages a decent place to start or can you end up getting stuck there? 2. Since I have no real industry experience, only exams - is my head in the clouds thinking I could be a full fledged financial planner within 2 years? 3. If I started with the mortgage firm and got CAS as a self employed mortgage advisor, could I then also be an appointed representative for a different financial planning firm at the same time or is that not actually feasible in the real world? Once again, sorry for the huge essay but I guess context is needed. Once again thanks for all that you do, not much good content out there around these topics so keep up the good work! Regards, Michael   12:36  Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Firstly a very big thank you for all that you do for this community. I am learning lots from you guys and feel more confident with my finances. I'm 46 years old and currently have two pensions. My first pension is in a defined benefit plan from my steelwork apprenticeship days whereby I only paid into it for approx 6 years before moving jobs. I was able to track this down late last year and was pleasantly surprised to see that this had gone from an annual amount of £2650 in July 2007 to £4400 as of October 2025. I have been told to leave this as it is as it will grow over time with inflation. My other pension is a defined contribution plan with Royal London (RL). I am a higher rate tax payer and currently pay 10% of my £58,000 annual salary into this fund and my employer pays 5%. I would like to finish at 58 given I had a serious neck injury at 41 and don't know how long my body is going to work for me)! This pot is currently worth £105,000 and I am deliberating whether to increase my contributions in order to achieve my retirement age goal. I also have a stocks and shares ISA which is currently worth £36,000. I pay £250 a month into this but don't know if it would be more tax efficient to put this £250 into my pension instead? However, I am also mindful that the pension age may increase so by having a pot of money invested in the stocks and shares ISA I can draw this down when I like and also not bear any tax implications. Having looked into the fees which RL charge (0.71% for our employers scheme) I believe I would be able to achieve my goal quicker were I to move this into a SIPP and invest in a global ETF. I have discussed this with my employer and have asked if they would consider offering an alternative SIPP option. I feel I am meeting some resistance with this and don't believe a decision will be made anytime soon. In the interim, my compounding is being eaten away by the fees which I am currently being charged and my goal is moving further away from me. I found a pension fee calculator online and at the current rate I am investing I stand to lose approx £50,000 if I keep this with RL. I am aware that I can partially transfer my RL pension. However, to keep the employer contribution I would need to keep the RL pension open with a minimum amount of funds and then transfer the employer contribution across to my SIPP.  What is the best way to go about this to make it the most fee/tax efficient?  Should I transfer the employer contribution as soon as it is paid to RL, or would it be no different to do it on an annual basis?  I am assuming the longer I have money in the SIPP the more growth it will obtain therefore the former would be the sensible default. Am I approaching this correctly? Is there something else which I could consider? Thank you kindly, Paul   20:30 Question 4 Hi Pete and Rog - great show and love the books (but not finished them yet). Thanks for demystifying the complex world of personal finance and financial planning. I'm in the fortunate position where my projected salary and bonus will increase again for tax year 2026/27 and will take me well over the £125k tax threshold before adjustments. My 'problem' so to speak is that even after using my current year maximum pension allowance and previous years unused maximum pension allowance I can only get my adjusted income to be around £115k. Tough life I know! I can either make a large Gift Aid donation to get below £100k or use less of my unused maximum pension allowance to keep above £125k. Am I missing any other income adjustment options? What is the actual impact of not being able to hit the £100k adjusted income, and being in the £125k additional tax bracket, from a tax payment perspective in real money terms? I have some small cash savings and stocks outside of ISAs as we put most of these in my wife's name as she is a basic rate tax payer. We don't need the childcare tax scheme and not aware of any other reason to keep under £100k except to save tax and avoid the 60% effective tax rate between £100k and £125k. Don't want to let the tax tail wag the dog, and happy to give to charity, but in real terms is there actually much difference in the tax payment amount in pounds and pence (as long as I kept out of the £100k - £125k range)? Many thanks, Simon   25:33 Question 5 Hi, Fairly new listener to the podcasts, been binge watching them recently, ended up here via the meaningful money YouTube channel. Both are thoroughly enjoyable to watch and are teaching me a lot about the financial world - along with 2 other YouTube channels I like Damien talks money and James shack. Anyway my question if you have time and it's selected would be about retiring abroad. My current situation - male, 42, living north east England, working full time for NHS and will have 2 NHS db scheme pensions in retirement (1 in 2008 scheme at 65 and 1 in 2015 care scheme at state pension age).  I have 2 stocks and shares ISAs,  with about £95000 between them, 1 stocks and shares Lisa with about £4500 in it (for retirement not house purchase), about £21000 in premium bonds which I use as an emergency fund. Our house is paid off so no mortgage payments so at the minute can add to these savings at £500+ a month comfortable. My wife is 34 and here on spouse visa and hopefully will be eligible for indefinite leave to remain and citizenship soon (it will save us a lot in visa fees and stuff when it happens).  She currently works a part time job 16hr per week at minimum wage to fit around child care for our 2year old son. 1st question is would this part time work count as a qualifying year for the state pension as it's below the personal tax allowance? We have a rough plan of retiring early hopefully once our son is grown up and finished with schooling and university and moving back to my wife's home country in Asia for the better weather and lower cost of living.  As a rough plan we think when I'm 60 and wife 52 but could move later depending on family commitments. Now if I stay in NHS all that time I should have 10 years in the 2008 NHS scheme and 24 years in 2015 scheme and with conservative planning on spreadsheets will get £8000 per year from 2008 scheme and £14000 from the 2015 scheme taking at the normal pension age for these schemes.  My wife will benefit from a spouse's pension for length if I die 1st of roughly 1/3 of these figures.  I have the option of exchanging some of this pension for tax free lump sum up to 25% and the calculation is for every £1 I reduce the pension by I get £12 lump sum. Question 2 - everyone at work always talks about you got to take the maximum lump sum to avoid paying tax, but I'm not so sure as the pensions linked to inflation over the long run there could end up being a big gap between your pension with and without the lump sum.  What's your thoughts on this, if I didn't need a large amount  of cash for a specific thing surely it's better to go for the larger pension even if you end up paying for tax or am I wrong . When we move I will have a full NI record for the state pension but my wife won't and depending on your answer to the 1st question might have 20 years contribution say. Question 3 - if we move abroad before she has a full record can we make voluntary payments for extra year's while resident in another country? I see you can pay about £900 for a year in this country but I'm not so sure if where already living abroad. Assuming my savings continue to grow and the stock market doesn't complete collapse, I will use these savings to bridge the gap from 60 to 65 and then the state pension age.  And fund the move with the sale of our house which will also give us a cash buffer hopefully too. Question 4 - when moving abroad can I keep my stocks and shares ISA - I know you can't contribute more to it, but keeping it open to grow, receive dividends, withdraw money, the government website says you can but a lot of the provider websites are vague and some say they don't allow it.  Is it a case when the time comes I'll have to transfer my isas to 1 of the more expensive providers say who are more likely to allow this? Now I already know that the country I'm moving to doesn't have a reciprocal agreement so our state pension will be frozen at the level that we claim it and have based all our plans and number crunching on this. And that the country I move to may charge tax on money I draw out of my ISA when I transfer it over, and on my pension (although with the double taxation treaty hopefully not) and will seek advice of accountants over there nearer the time as currently there is some work arounds involving spouses but these may not be there in 20 years time. My last question -  would be about if I die 1st probably more likely me being older and male, is more for my wife inheriting my UK based assets - the bank accounts and isas, NHS pension.  The NHS pension should be easy she's already my nominee on record and will go through with her the forms and website for claiming it.  But the isas and bank accounts are the main worry - will it be easy for her to transfer them over to her (I'm assuming the joint accounts will be pretty much automatic) but will the single accounts be easy? Can she keep the money in the ISA still in an ISA but in her name? Would having her own ISA make this transfer easier? And most importantly is this something you think can be done online/over the phone from abroad or will it involve a trip back to the UK and back and forward to branches assuming they haven't all been shut. Thank you for taking the time to read this email, sorry it's so long, and no worries if it doesn't get chosen for the podcast. Keep up the good work Kind regards, Mark 38:15  Question 6 Change to ISA rules from April 2027. Audio question from Holly.

In this episode, I'm breaking down everything I learned about sex and relationships in my 30s… because this decade taught me lessons my 20s never could. I used to think if the chemistry faded, the relationship was over, but I discovered that real intimacy is something you build, not something you stumble into. I'm talking about why stress crushes desire more than attraction ever could, why responsive desire is normal (not broken), why boring sex doesn't mean a boring relationship, and why communication really is a lubrication. If you've ever wondered why talking about sex feels harder than having it, or worried that losing the honeymoon phase means you're with the wrong person, this episode is for you.

Matt is LIVE for a BTL at night with special guest Scott Martin to talk about the announcement of Fishing Chaos' "THE FUTURE" which will be held on Lake Guntersville on May 27, 2026.  Check out the full article on Wired2Fish:Fishing Chaos Brings THE FUTURE With New Livestream Tournament Format - Wired2Fish

In this episode of the Meaningful Money Podcast Q&A, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer six real listener questions on UK personal finance - from inheriting a SIPP (and the under-75 vs over-75 rules), to how inheritance tax could hit a property-heavy estate. They also discuss what to do with a large Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) holding, whether a longer 35-year mortgage can be a safer option, and the realities of financial planning for UK expats. Finally, they tackle a growing concern for many UK investors - how to protect wealth from increasingly sophisticated scams and impersonation fraud. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA49  02:04  Question 1 Hello Pete & Rog. Thanks for the wonderful podcast I will keep it as brief as possible as it means hopefully you can squeeze more content for your listeners. I am a 35 yr old renting in London with a salary of approximately 35k and would consider buying my own place if I could build up enough of a deposit. My mum died a long time ago but my dad has just been informed that he has a medical condition which will probably end his life in the next 5 years or so. He is currently 73. I don't have any siblings and my dad has shared with me the details of his assets which primarily comprise of a SIPP of around 200k (he has taken and spent his 25% tax free amount). My question may sound a bit morbid but it reflects the reality of life unfortunately. It's about the rules of inheriting this SIPP. I'm not sure I fully understand the 'rules' about if my dad passes away before 75 or after he is 75. My understanding is that if less than 75 I can just 'cash in' the 200k tax-free and for example use it as a deposit for a house. That seems straightforward. But hopefully he will get well past his 75th, so if that's the case I understand the 200k would be taxed as income, so I would be crazy to take it all out in that way. So what would be my options in that case? - Is there any way to take it out of the pension wrapper without having to pay tax to give a bit more flexibility? - could I just inherit it as a pension and if so, would I still be able to take 25% tax free? - can I draw down from before I reach pension age e.g. to pay the mortgage or rent (mindful not to go up into the next tax bracket)? Have I got the rules right and are there any other options I could consider? Regards, Steve   07:08  Question 2 Hi Pete & Roger Love the content and just discovered your YouTube podcast! I'm concerned about my wife parents (Mid 70s) inheritance tax liability and was wondering if you had any advice on how to structure the portfolio to reduce it or if it was worth considering a gifting strategy. Primarily I'm concerned as the recent inclusion of pensions into IHT from 2027 and I'm pretty sure their estate is over 2m and therefore a reduced residence nil rate. Rough figures are below: Current house - 1.1m (according to Rightmove - jointly owned) Own another house 800k (according to Rightmove - jointly owned) Own a holiday letting business (retirement business) which has three properties circa 1.1m (according to Rightmove - jointly owned) With this in mind I put their IHT liability at 2m+ without factoring their pensions Questions What do you consider the ball park IHT bill to be? How do you suggest my wife (mid 30s) approach this issue? Or should she just deal with the cards as they lie in the future? Tony   14:05  Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, I wanted to start with a thank you for your podcast - specially for acting as the friendly, inclusive and relatable voices of finance. The podcast is a welcome change to the scarier world of finance which many of us sometimes run and hide from! My question for you is regarding my ESPP. I was employed by a US-based company around 10 years ago. During my time there I was able to sacrifice a percentage of my salary which was put towards the purchase of company shares at a discounted rate. It's a very effective scheme, and although my salary there was modest, I've been able to leave the shares alone which are now worth around £230k. The predicament I now have is what to do with these shares. I've been happy to let the shares sit and grow, which they have been doing extremely well, though the value of them now has me wondering what my future strategy should be. For reference, the 10 year growth on these shares is around 850%. As far as I'm aware, I'll need to pay tax on these shares when it comes to selling them as there's no way to transfer them into my stocks & shares ISA or similar. So it's either leave them where they are, or sell some/all of them now and transfer the cash (after tax) into my stocks & shares ISA, SIPP or elsewhere. I'm 40 and looking to purchase a house next year with my partner - though we don't need these funds for that purchase. I have a stocks & shares ISA, a cash ISA and a SIPP, as well as a modest amount in a LISA and cash savings. Whilst I don't feel like I have all of my eggs in one basket, I do feel increasingly nervous about the value of the shares which are entirely dependant on the success of one company. That said, the returns to date have been incredible and I wouldn't want to miss out on future growth. I'd love to know if you have any guidance on this, and if there's any factors that I haven't considered yet. Thanks again, Ian   20:36 Question 4 Hi Guys, Love your podcasts. You've helped me a lot with understanding my finances and I'd love to ask a question. My wife and I are 36 and have been back in the UK for 3 years. We are hoping to buy our first property in 2026. Due to our age, is it okay and safer to do a 35 year mortgage and pay more off monthly to pay the mortgage off quicker? We aren't high earners but hoping to put any extra onto the mortgage principle. Hope to hear from you. Kind Regards, Dhiren   23:49 Question 5 Dear Pete and Roger Thanks a lot for all the education and sensible insights you are providing to all I am an avid listener of your podcasts and  watch your videos regularly.  Now I can see Roger as well.  Both very handsome and knowledgeable. Your discussions are lively and interesting. I am also a member of the academy from the beginning. Also on Facebook community. Currently working my way through retirement guide. I am working abroad for nearly 8 years. I was told by a financial planner that he can't advise non UK tax payers as per regulations. Since then you have been my main source of information and guidance. I am an Ex NHS consultant and now receiving pension. I have a very small SIPP and substantial Investment ISA which I can not contribute to. So my main investment is through GIA. All via Vanguard. Apart from this I have stocks and shares account with a couple of providers which helps me to keep thinking about investment opportunities. I am not a big risk taker and currently doing well with my stocks. I read and listen to a variety of educational materials to help with this I have 2 questions. Is it possible to get financial planner help for UK citizens while working abroad? What should I do with my investments before coming back to UK to live, for tax planning and reduce risk of huge tax for selling investments after coming back? Currently I am in Middle East with zero percent income tax. My pension is also at zero percent under DTAA arrangements. Sorry for long question. Thanks a lot again for your suuuuuuuuuper work. Continue great job Kind regards, Sudhakar Link: Perceptive Planning https://www.perceptiveplanning.co.uk/world-citizens  28:37  Question 6 Hi Roger and Pete, Love the podcast. Thank you for everything. This is about to be a long question, for which I'm not at all sorry. I've seen articles and videos about the increased sophistication of hacks and scams. Things like stealthily getting access to accounts and for years collecting information that can then be used to impersonate you to socially engineer access to bank accounts. AI plays a part in letting people change how they sound to make impersonating on calls easier than ever. Going forward, I'm worried that one of the biggest threats to my wealth is not a market crash, but someone getting access to my investments through fraudulently calling support lines and impersonating me, or alternatively getting access to my money through 'traditional' password leaks and viruses. To this end, I've been overpaying my mortgage as a way of having money locked away in an asset that cannot be liquidated without a solicitor (and hopefully more stringent checks of identity), but I'm going to be mortgage-free in less than 5 years at this rate.  My question is: Am I overblowing the risk here, and what are my options if I want to reduce the my risk from this perspective? I have considered: - Having multiple S&S ISAs with different providers should mean that only a fragment of my portfolio can be lost through any one hack. - Buying 'real' estate as an investment seems appealing from a security standpoint, regardless of expected returns, and although recent changes have made BtL less attractive, the old Rothschild saying of "Buy when there's blood in the streets" could mean that now might be a good time to buy. Is there an advantage in having overseas property as a wealth storage mechanism? - Putting money in my DC pension pot will lock the money away until retirement, but suddenly becomes fair game to foul play once I do. - Buying an annuity is not as fiscally efficient as drawdown, but is an attractive way of mitigating risk of losing it all to a scam caller. Especially if I'm old and doddery and more likely to fall for a scam. - Buying physical gold (and a safe or a Swiss safety deposit box) doesn't appeal to me, but I have considered it. Please assume that I'm being sensible with passwords and 2FA. My question isn't about basic IT security practices, but which of these decisions you think might be a good/bad decision and whether there's anything I haven't considered.

In this episode of Sex With Emily, I answer your real questions about long-term relationships, desire, pleasure, communication, and what it actually takes to keep intimacy alive over time. We get into why so many couples feel disconnected after years together, how shame and stress impact our ability to receive pleasure, and why better sex starts with curiosity instead of pressure or performance.  I also talk about receiving pleasure, mismatched desires, body confidence, communication, keeping attraction alive after moving in together, and why anticipation and novelty play such a big role in desire.
