In this special Waitangi edition of The Adviser Talk, Tim and Nick explore what a 149-year journey toward resolution can teach us about how we show up in our financial lives today.Drawing on the remarkable story of Ngāi Tahu, they uncover how generations carried the weight of grievance, how internal division weakened an otherwise formidable iwi, and how unity, pragmatism and forward thinking ultimately sparked extraordinary regeneration. From an infamous dog skin cloak feud to the full and final settlement that allowed Ngāi Tahu to move from loss into long-term growth, this episode looks at why the past matters, but also why staying anchored to it can quietly erode wellbeing, opportunity and financial resilience. Tim and Nick connect these powerful historical lessons to the modern decisions families, investors, and business owners face every day, especially when emotions run high. At its heart, this conversation is about choosing where to invest your energy. Whether navigating an inheritance dispute, a business breakdown or a long-held sense of imbalance, the Ngāi Tahu story offers a blueprint for letting go of what no longer serves you, coming together with clarity and purpose and building a future that compounds in your favour for generations.

In this episode of the ifa Show, general manager of Viridian Advisory Brett Arnol joins host Keith Ford to speak about how the firm approaches the Professional Year as a strategic talent pipeline rather than a compliance hurdle. Arnol explains that simply following the regulatory framework is not enough to turn a new adviser into a capable "advice‑ready" professional, and breaks down how Viridian maps each adviser's path over one, three and five years, using the PY as a foundation for long‑term career development, clarity of expectations, and strong retention. Tune in to hear: How listening, confidence, and the willingness to have difficult client conversations can be just as important as technical knowledge. Why clarity within the PY process is vital to setting advisers up for long-term success. How a well‑run PY program creates loyal, "homegrown" advisers, but firms must accept a three- to five-year horizon before candidates are fully productive.

At the 2025 FAAA Congress, I walked the floor with one question in mind. How does money influence health? What followed was a series of thoughtful, honest and sometimes surprising conversations with advisers from across Australia. In this roaming special, you will hear from nine advisers who work at the intersection of finance, behaviour and wellbeing. Together, they reveal how financial stress quietly erodes health, how clarity changes the way people live, and why good advice often becomes a health intervention long before clients realise it. We talk about avoidance, overwork, life transitions, grief, retirement, identity and the surprising ways people use money to rebuild their wellbeing. Each adviser brings a different angle, but they all arrive at the same conclusion. When people understand their financial position and feel safe in their decisions, they sleep better, work less, feel more in control and reclaim time for the things that matter. This episode is a reminder that financial advice is not only about growing wealth. It is about supporting the conditions for a good life. Featuring: Shannon Victor, Kelly King, Bianca Musico, Mark O'Flynn, Sarah Leslie, Rob Pyne, Jordan Vaka, Nathan Fradley and Martin McGrath. Listen to this special episode to hear what they each had to say.
