There's been a lot of noise about the Banking Royal Commission findings, but for many people questions still remain: How is all this going to affect me? What if anything can I do about it? Who can give me honest objective answers on all of this? Well, over the last few weeks I have been trying to identify someone who's an expert observer on this important subject – someone independent who is intimately knowledgeable across the full spectrum of property, finance and wealth creation policies, practices and people. Someone who doesn't have a vested interest. And this is where today's guest Alex Whitlock is perfectly positioned to give you all of the answers.
