To celebrate this 400th episode, I'm joined by Andrew Jacobs, an osteopath turned mortgage broker who specialises in working with allied health professionals. Andrew is also the author of Paid Off and Healthy Money, two books written specifically to improve financial literacy among health practitioners. In this episode, we explore why so many podiatrists feel uncomfortable talking about money, despite financial stress being one of the biggest contributors to burnout and career dissatisfaction. Andrew explains how understanding basic financial concepts, such as cash flow, debt, lending structures, and repayment strategies, can have a massive long-term impact on your career options and lifestyle. We also discuss why banks actually view podiatrists as low-risk borrowers, the profession-specific lending opportunities many podiatrists don't know exist, and how small changes made early can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. This conversation isn't about chasing wealth. It's about creating choice, flexibility, and long-term security. Learn more about Andrew Jacobs and download his books at www.mortgagechoice.com.au/andrew.jacobs I also encourage you to read the full show notes and find all episode links at www.podiatrylegends.com Are you looking for a one-on-one business coach that's actually done what they teach?

Purpose of the Interview The interview aimed to: Promote financial literacy, wealth-building strategies, and entrepreneurial thinking within the Black community. Share actionable steps for creating generational wealth and economic empowerment. Highlight FraserNet’s mission to foster networking, education, and business development for people of African descent. Key Takeaways Knowledge & Execution Are Critical “My people perish for lack of knowledge”—Dr. Fraser emphasizes that progress requires knowledge and execution, not just protest. Rejecting knowledge leads to stagnation; skill-building and financial education are essential. Entrepreneurial Thinking vs. Entrepreneurship Focus on taking ownership and responsibility for your life. Entrepreneurial thinking can evolve into entrepreneurship, creating jobs and wealth for the community. Black Economic Empowerment By the end of the 21st century, Black people must become the #1 employer of Black people, mirroring other ethnic groups.

Giving Wealth Support Black-owned businesses, restaurants, salons, authors. Volunteer, tithe, and donate to HBCUs. Encourage and uplift Black men, women, and children. Notable Quotes “We are suffering because we cannot see our problems clearly.” “Execution, execution, execution—protest without execution is meaningless.” “To be gifted, Black, and beautiful means nothing unless you are Black and powerful.” “Don’t quit your job until your side income covers twice your monthly expenses.” “White folks plan for three generations; we plan for Saturday night.” “Money attracts money—start with $100 in a savings account.” “There should not be a Negro in America with a single stream of income.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Leadership Takeover Session, Stuart Miller, Director of Public Policy and Technology Research at Xero, shares what's really happening behind the scenes with MTD, AI and financial literacy – and what it all means for UK bookkeepers. If you've ever wondered who sits in the rooms with government, regulators and tech companies speaking up for small businesses and their advisers, this episode joins those dots. Stuart didn't set out to be an accountant. He fell into practice to avoid paying rent to his parents, trained through AAT, and built his career in firms where tattoos, shaved heads and “not fitting the mould” were still frowned upon. He talks about the managers who backed him, the crying client whose tax-return anxiety helped him find his purpose, and the R&D projects where better tax advice funded real-world change – like extracting myrrh oil to support schools in Africa. Today, his role at Xero spans smart data, late payments, e-invoicing, unique business identifiers, AI policy and MTD. He explains what his week actually looks like: responding to consultations, sitting on smart data groups, meeting departments like Business and Trade, and feeding the voice of accountants and bookkeepers into policy. Find out about the benefits of becoming a Xero Partner, here: https://www.xero.com/uk/partner-programme/?UTM_Source=6fb The conversation also tackles AI. Stuart sees AI as an efficiency driver, not a replacement for bookkeepers. He talks about using AI to speed up reconciliation, summarise long email newsletters and surface insights, while the real value sits in the 20% of work that is deeply human: handling ambiguity, context and emotion. A big theme is financial literacy and social mobility. Stuart is passionate about closing the gap for people who were never taught about interest rates, APR or cash flow at home or at school. He talks about Xero's financial literacy campaign, which offers bite-size guidance and mentoring for people from disadvantaged backgrounds or those starting a business with no financial training. Crucially, it's open to everyone, not just software users, and supported by accountants and bookkeepers who volunteer their time to help. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, the YouTube titan known as MrBeast, has been making waves with bold pivots that could redefine his empire just days into the new year. In a fresh interview with creator Jon Youshaei posted Monday, Business Insider reports Donaldson revealing plans for a dedicated YouTube channel on financial literacy, teaching fans about investing, Roth IRAs, and smart money moves. Its a natural evolution from his cash-stuffed stunts, like the 10 million dollar giveaway on Beast Games first season, and ties into his teased MrBeast Financial services business, with CEO Jeffrey Housenbold confirming expansion into loans and insurance via investor decks.At The New York Times DealBook Summit earlier this month, Donaldson dished on shifting his main channel strategy as fans tire of spectacle, per Business Insider. Hes doubling down on emotional storytelling, longer 25 minute videos, animation, and micro dramas, while cutting costs after losing millions on extravagant productions. Housenbold hinted at a potential IPO, eyeing ways to let his 1.4 billion global viewers own stakes in Beast Industries, now valued at five billion dollars, as TechCrunch details amid lawsuits over Beast Games set conditions and MrBeast Burger woes.Business buzzed with Starbucks partnering for Beast Games season two, debuting January seventh on Prime Video, fueling contestants with 24/7 coffee in Beast City and a limited Cannon Ball Drink from January 14th, Marketing Dive confirms. On December 26th, Associated Press covered Donaldson advising parents of aspiring kid influencers to prioritize education over fame. His December 20th 30 Days in the Sky YouTube challenge featured a Starbucks drop for a contestant vying for a 50 thousand dollar gift card.No major headlines in the past 24 hours, but these moves signal long term bets on education, finance, and efficiency, potentially cementing his biographical leap from stunt king to mogul.Thanks for tuning into this MrBeast episode of Biography Flash.

In this Leadership Takeover session, Kate Hayward, Managing Director of Xero UK, shares how growing up in a self-employed household shaped her views on risk, money and why bookkeepers are now more vital than ever to small businesses. For UK bookkeepers, this is a clear, honest look at where the profession is heading and how to stay at the centre of it. Kate talks about watching her parents worry over money at the kitchen table, how that drove her into a science degree and a Big Four career, and why she eventually left the perceived safety of that world to join a fast-growing tech company while planning to start a family. She shares the leadership moment that stopped her from self-selecting out of a senior role because of motherhood, and why background should never limit whose voice is heard in business or policy. A major theme of the conversation is financial literacy. Kate explains why the UK still lacks a joined-up, practical approach to money education and why Xero has invested in its financial literacy campaign to try to change that. She describes financial literacy as a life-cycle issue, from what children see at home to the decisions business owners face as they grow. For bookkeepers and accountants, Kate is clear: you are the lifeline for many small businesses. With the disappearance of the traditional bank manager, clients now turn to their adviser to interpret the numbers, sense-check decisions and connect them to wider support. She also acknowledges that many advisers were never taught sales, marketing or entrepreneurship, even though clients increasingly expect that wider commercial input. Find out about the benefits of becoming a Xero Partner, here: https://www.xero.com/uk/partner-programme/?UTM_Source=6fb The episode also tackles AI and the future of the profession. Kate's view is firm: AI will not replace bookkeepers or accountants. It will remove repetitive manual work and create space for deeper conversations, better insight and more ambitious client growth. The skills that matter most become communication, commercial thinking, pricing confidence and the ability to guide clients through uncertainty. If you are a UK bookkeeper or accountant who cares about small business, worries about AI, or wants to play a bigger role in clients' financial understanding and long-term success, this conversation with Kate Hayward will help you see what's coming next — and how you can stay essential. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.
