In February 2019, Gareth joined the podcast to discuss being a professional rugby union player with Gloucester. After that conversation Gareth's life moved quickly - he signed for Ospreys and then Leicester Tigers before being forced to retire suddenly following a training-ground concussion in November 2021.In early September 2025, Gareth sat down with me to discuss his new career as a Financial Advisor, based in Cheltenham. The idea of identity and career shift has fascinated me for years - particularly, as a sports journalist, the shift pro athletes have to make into a new life. Hope you enjoy this one - hope for all of us contemplating career change. Also, towards the end of the conversation some great tips on pensions and financial management.

Watch episode on youtube: https://youtu.be/ZXQKdbd05FUPublished November 2024. People often ask "do I need a financial adviser?", but there's another question regularly overlooked: are they the type of person who should have a financial adviser? While financial advice can be beneficial for everyone, some people don't have the capacity to accept it, so understanding who you are is important. Some people don't want to relinquish control, they aren't always forthcoming with important information, they resent paying. These things will all become problems at some point in an advice relationship. We're joined by Tristan Dallas, a financial adviser at Mancell Financial Group to discuss who financial advice works for and who it doesn't work for. Before seeking out an adviser, it's important to consider what type of person you are, and ensure you're not entering into a relationship that won't work. Want to learn more about investing?

In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at a common misconception that your financial adviser needs to be rich. It's a nice idea, but it's ultimately meaningless to your own wealth journey when they may be part of a team, and having someone younger who hasn't built a lot of wealth yet could be more beneficial to guide you in the decades to come.Want to learn more about investing?

In today's financial landscape, it's easy for investors to get caught up in popular catchphrases like “They're not making any more land” or “Buy the dip”.Bruce Jenks, our Financial Adviser from our Hastings office, warns that when these phrases replace critical thinking, investors may make decisions based on hype instead of fundamental market truths.Catchphrases can be appealing, but they often oversimplify complex decisions and overlook individual circumstances.

This week Nicola and Di are back with the second episode of our monthly financial series, Over The Money Fence with Roger Montgomery. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and is a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. In this conversation we chat about the sandwich generation - women in their 50s and 60s who have the dual responsibility of caring for their elderly parents, and trying to support their adult children. We talk about the unique challenges this group faces when it comes to their finances and Roger has some calm and reassuring advice. Roger takes us through the difference between a financial adviser and a fund manager, and why it’s a good idea to always take your time and get a second opinion. He gives very practical advice for how you can find a good financial adviser to speak to about your finances (listed below), and why it’s in your interests to do so. Roger also talks about the importance of having conversations with your children and family before it’s too late, about your will and the plans you have for your money after you’re gone. Talk through the plans together and come to some agreements, so there aren’t any unnecessary disputes. As Roger says in this episode - it’s very dangerous to write in a will that you’ll leave everything to your children equally. Tune into the episode to find out why. Come and see Roger speak in person at our Over The Back Fence live event, happening on the 19th of June at the Woolly Bay Hotel in Sydney.

The goal is to help employees move through different stages of behavioral change at their own pace.Understanding employees' needs is critical - start with a comprehensive survey to identify what financial topics are most important to your workforce, and design programs that meet them where they are in their financial journey.Measuring success goes beyond traditional metrics. Look at engagement indicators like webinar attendance, article clicks, survey participation, and gradually expanding program participation over 2-3 years.The most important approach is remembering that wellness programs are about people, not just numbers. Connect with employees personally, provide hope through success stories, and create supportive, ongoing resources that recognize individuals are at different stages of financial readiness.“Remember, you're dealing with people. Remember that they're not participants, they're not employees, they're not co-workers, they're not associates, they're people. Connect with them where they are and see them as the people that they are in front of you.” - Kelly MajdanConnect with Kelly Majdan:Website: https://www.onedigital.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellymajdan/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.
