Dan Hobbs, CEO at New Leaf Distribution, joins Sam Oakes to talk about what building their own podcast has delivered for an IFA Network. He's joined by his father, Founder & Chairman of New Leaf Distribution, Mark Hobbs, whose own scepticism about podcasting turned around once it started outperforming close to £1,000,000 spent on Google Ads." In this episode, Dan and Mark explain why Mark was initially convinced podcasting was a gimmick, and what it took for Dan to change his mind. They talk about why New Leaf deliberately avoided the well worn topics every other network already covers, choosing instead to focus on what it is actually like to become an adviser and what happens in the silence after qualifying, when the phone stops ringing. The conversation also covers how New Leaf supports advisers through retirement and exit, including a striking story about completing a business sale with no contract in place after an adviser's death, and why New Leaf positions itself as a compliance thought leader rather than buying out its own advisers' client banks.Dan and Mark also share what happened after their very first guest, Kelsey Phillips, went live on the podcast, and why New Leaf's own advisers are now lining up, asking to be featured on the podcast.Key takeaways from this episode:Why most business podcasts fail, and what New Leaf built theirs around insteadHow Mark went from thinking podcasting was a gimmick to backing Dan's idea completelyWhy New Leaf avoids generic advice content in favour of what it is really like to become an adviserHow New Leaf supported an adviser's family through a business sale with no contract in placeWhy New Leaf positions itself as a compliance thought leader rather than buying its own advisers' client banksWhy New Leaf would rather a business stay within its own network than go to an M&A buyerHow Kelsey, New Leaf's first podcast guest, ended up with more development finance leads than she was ready forWhy New Leaf's own advisers are now asking to be featured on the podcastThis is an episode for anyone running a business in financial services, who is weighing up whether a podcast is worth the investment, and for any adviser starting to think about what their own exit from the profession might look like.Learn more about New Leaf at https://newleafdistribution.co.uk/ Financial Planner Life is sponsored by Redmill AdvanceWhether you're starting out, already qualified, or building a training academy, Redmill Advance delivers expert-led learning, exam support and CPD from Level 4 to Chartered.✅ Trusted by top UK firms

I've been podcasting for 7 years and have produced 6 podcasts, and I love helping indie creators solve the stuff that all podcasters face: inconsistent content creation, lack of listener engagement, and monetization that feels out of reach. My approach is friendly and grounded in real workflows, examples from my own personal mistakes, and strategies that work even when you don't have a big team. I've spoken at Podcast Movement on monetization strategy (“Sponsorships, Subscriptions, or Support? Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your Podcast”), and on how indie podcasters can rival the pros through smart branding, marketing, and monetizing. I also taught PodConf's “Pitch Your Podcast!” session on landing sponsorships without sounding salesy, including cold email tips and templates.Connect with Jordan Blair & Buzzsprout:https://buzzcast.buzzsprout.com/https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/resourcesSupport the showSupport Ageless Glamour Girls™:www.agelessglamourgirls.com        www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes       https://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls      Instagram @agelessglamourgirlsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirlsPrivate (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafeTikTok: @agelessglamourgirlsPodcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls™ and Purple Tulip Media, LLC

What does it really look like to start a podcast while raising a family, and is it worth it if it is not making money yet? In this episode, I am joined by my first international guest, Victoria Phipps, host of the Mum Means Business podcast, who joins us from the UK. She is a mom of two, a business owner, and someone who instantly feels like a longtime friend. Victoria shares the honest behind the scenes reality of launching her podcast, from the tools she invested in to how she is thinking about monetization in the early stages. We also talk about identity and how easy it is to lose sight of who you were before becoming a mom, and why creating something that is just yours matters. Together, we unpack the pressure to justify the time spent on a podcast that is not yet generating income, the importance of following what feels fun, and the confidence that comes from simply starting. We also get into the real logistics of making a podcast happen with young kids at home, from childcare to scheduling challenges, and why continuing to prioritize your creative outlet ultimately makes you a better mom.Key Topics CoveredLaunching a podcast as a busy mom.The early stages of podcast monetization.Tools and resources worth investing in when starting a podcast.Reconnecting with your identity after motherhood.Building a business while raising young children.Using your podcast to nurture and convert your audience.Letting go of the pressure for immediate ROI.Gaining confidence through podcasting.The logistics of recording with kids at home.Why creative outlets make you a better mom.Links:Follow Victoria on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victoria_phipps/Follow Mum Means Business on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mummeansbusinesspodcast/Let's Connect!Book Your Podcast Consultation Today: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesFollow Pivot Ball Change on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotballchange/Visit Pivot Ball Change's Website: https://www.pivotballchange.com/
