Podcast appearances and mentions of Neil Griffiths

Feed costs are the highest operational costs in a dairy business, so it is vital that we manage these well in order to enhance our farm's profitability. We are currently well into a somewhat m­ild spring here, in most regions of New South Wales, so thought it would be a good opportunity to revisit some earlier podcast episodes on key aspects of profitable pasture management and silage making.The extracts come from a couple of very popular episodes and even though they are a couple of years old, the messages and key principles discussed are as relevant as ever.The first episode was Episode 3 – Lowering total feed costs with good spring pasture management with NSW agronomists Josh Hack and Peter Beale. Aspects such as the importance and economics of nitrogen use and the principles of good grazing management to help capture true pasture surpluses are discussed. Please note that urea prices discussed in this episode were from a couple of years ago when urea prices were abnormally high.The second episode comes from Episode 24 – The economics of silage making with agronomist Neil Griffiths. It follows on logically from the previous episode. Neil highlights the importance of timing when making silage in relation to producing high quality and profitable silage. This includes capturing silage with high energy content and minimising wastage.Links to the original episodes have been included in the show notes for this episode which include links to some very useful resources.Podcast links:Podcast Episode 3 - Lowering total feed costs with good spring pasture managementPodcast Episode 24 - The economics of silage makingThis podcast is an initiative of the NSW DPI Dairy Business Advisory UnitIt is brought to you in partnership the Hunter Local Land ServicesPlease share this podcast with your fellow farmers and colleagues and feel free to contact us with suggestions or comments via this email address thebusinessofdairy@gmail.comFurther NSW DPI Dairy channels to follow and subscribe to include:NSW DPI Dairy Facebook pageDPI Intensive Livestock Twitter feedNSW DPI Dairy NewsletterTranscript hereProduced by Video LiftThe information discussed in this podcast are for informative and educational purposes only and do not constitute advice.

Silage is used to varying degrees and in different ways on NSW and Australian dairy farms, depending on the type of feeding system the farm has. It can be an important component of your herd's diet and given that producing it comes with additional costs compared to directly grazed pasture, it is important to make sure you do it well to make it economical.My guest this month is Neil Griffiths, a well-known agronomist who worked for many years with the NSW Dept of Primary Industries as a Pasture Production Technical Specialist and has been heavily involved with the development and delivery of the nationally recognised TopFodder program which aims to develop your skills in successful silage making, storing and feeding. In this episode we discuss some of the key areas that drive profitable silage making.Useful resources related to this podcast:Register for Hunter Local Land Services 3 day TopFodder workshop with Neil Griffiths (starts 29/05/2023)Wrapping Your Own Silage: The Hidden Costs of Owning and Operating Machinery (extensionAus article by Sam Henty includes worksheet and example)NSW DPI Guide to Machinery Costs and Contract Rates (PrimeFact 2009)Dairy Australia - Making SilageThis podcast is an initiative of the NSW DPI Dairy Business Advisory UnitIt is brought to you in partnership the Hunter Local Land ServicesPlease share this podcast with your fellow farmers and colleagues and feel free to contact us with suggestions or comments via this email address thebusinessofdairy@gmail.comFurther NSW DPI Dairy channels to follow and subscribe to include:NSW DPI Dairy Facebook pageDPI Intensive Livestock Twitter feedNSW DPI Dairy NewsletterTranscript here Produced by Video LiftThe information discussed in this podcast are for informative and educational purposes only and do not constitute advice.

This week's ifa Show podcast is joined by Dr Paul Moran, the principal of Moran Partners Financial Planning and the founder and CEO of iFactFind. On this episode, Paul sits down with host Neil Griffiths to discuss the need for standards and protocols in financial planning and how that relates to self-regulation. “It would make it easier to teach financial planning to people because they're learning the protocols. It would make it easier for the regulator because they would be able to make a quick judgement, had the protocols been followed, and in the court system,” he explained. “And then from a client point of view, they're getting more certainty for what we do. And then that doesn't change the interpersonal relationship, the values-based approach we take. It doesn't change all of that sort of stuff that we do now, but the outcomes that we are producing become more known and more measurable in that regard.” Also on this episode, Paul discusses if the advice industry is currently in a position to self-regulate, the pros and cons of the Quality of Advice Review proposal paper and what the sector could look like if it implements standards and protocols.

On a special episode of the ifa Show podcast, host Neil Griffiths is joined by Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) CEO Sarah Abood and the CEO of the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA), Phil Anderson, to talk about the association's intended merger announced earlier this month. Sarah and Phil sat down with Neil to talk about how long the merger has been in the works, what it means for members and why now is the right time for the groups to come together. “Obviously, the recent reduction in planning numbers has played a part, and it's made us on both sides, I think, think really deeply about what is the best way to use members' funds and how can we ensure that our members are going to continue to be represented effectively,” Sarah explained. “So, I think those are the key reasons, but we certainly feel that a merger is the logical next step. We can combine the resources of both the associations and really importantly, create a united voice and stronger advocacy for financial planners and advisers.” On this episode, Sarah and Phil also discussed intentions for how the new association will operate, including staff appointments, and how the upcoming Quality of Advice Review will impact the association and industry.

On a new episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by senior financial adviser at Tribeca Financial and Ethos Australia director, Nathan Fradley. Nathan joined this week's podcast to talk about the human side of financial advice and why the “best” advisers are focusing on financial wellbeing behaviours and coaching over products. “If you think about traditional advice, a bit of technical competency and goal setting, it's like: ‘Can you meet this goal? Oh, we put a million dollars in this portfolio. You get $50 grand a year. You can retire. Check.' “I think the best advisers now, the ones setting the standard, are saying: ‘What does it look like in 10 years for you from a social interaction perspective? How are you gaining your social needs once you're retired? Or how are you building meaningful connection with your friends and family? What are you doing from a sense of purpose and how do we facilitate that and money being a tool to enable that?' “And that connection becomes far more than just: ‘Well, they did my super and insurance.' That's the hygiene, that's the easy stuff. This becomes really understanding who we're working with, intrinsically caring for them and to a point where we are taking what they say is important and what they do, and we are combining those two things to be the same, in the same direction.” On this episode, Nathan also discusses how finfluencers fit into the “human side” of advice conversation, what advice will look like in the future if its properly adopted by advisers and his views on the proposals for the upcoming Quality of Advice Review.

On a new episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths sits down with the co-founder and president of Aussie advice business management platform Practifi, Adrian Johnstone. Adrian joined the show to discuss the “data paradox”, the benefits of M&As in the advice space, and how embracing technology can benefit advisers and firms. “So, integration is just so fundamental… but I think the firms, sometimes, it's easy to go the other way around,” he said. “What are they missing out on if they don't? And of course, they're missing out on efficiency, they're increasing risk. They're adding cost to their businesses because they miss out on the scale benefits.” On this episode, Adrian also discussed cyber security in advice and how technology can assist advisers' compliance and regulation concerns.

On this very special episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by the reviewer of the upcoming Quality of Advice Review, Michelle Levy. The Allens partner sat down to discuss the progress on the report, due out in December, and her opinion on the current state of the advice sector in Australia. “I think we need to make quite significant changes to the way financial advice and the provision of advice is regulated,” she said. “I don't think it is a matter of just crossing a few things out. Now, is that realistic? I am hopeful that it is.” Also on this episode, Michelle looks at some of the submissions put through industry groups, the role of regulators such as ASIC in improving the industry and her hopes for the recommendations that she'll put forward in December.

Zenith's head of consulting, Stephen Tang, joins a brand new episode of the ifa Show. On this episode, Stephen joins host Neil Griffiths to discuss the growing popularity of managed accounts and how the relationship between it and financial advisers has continued to grow in recent years. What started as a "novel idea" some years ago has now flourished and the COVID pandemic also accelerated the growth of managed accounts in the advice space. Only in recent years, Zenith managed roughly $1 billion in managed accounts under advice. Today, it manages $4.2 billion. "I think [the pandemic] was a good test moment for managed accounts," Stephen said. "People started to understand the real benefit of a managed account, [during] that COVID period clue. Really volatile time. Everything happened. "A really key benefit of a managed account, is that we were monitoring these on a daily basis, looking at the portfolios across our client base, and when we made changes, we did it across all our clients on the same day. That was the real key benefit. Everyone got the benefit of us making changes to the portfolios at the same time." On this episode, Stephen also discusses why advisers are continuing to turn to managed accounts, how they can use managed accounts to work through the current climate and how advisers can ensure portfolios stay resilient through uncertain times.

On a new episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by Nigel Baker, founder of digital solution, Scientiam. Nigel joined the podcast to discuss the issues that are stopping the advice industry from not only surviving, but thriving. "There's obviously been the whole shake-up of the financial planning industry and that was needed, but a lot of people don't trust the industry," he said. "Therefore, they go online and try and find things and get stuck with… maybe some of it's good, some of it's bad. So, really what we want [is] that regulatory framework to be able to enable that advice process." On this episode, Nigel also discusses his opinion on the upcoming Quality of Advice Review, Scientiam's submission to Treasury and what the future of advice looks like.

On a new episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) CEO, Phil Anderson. On this episode, Phil discusses the AFA's Quality of Advice Review (QAR) submission, the association's opposition to some other submissions entered by industry groups, and why the QAR alongside the appointment of a new financial services minister signals a huge change for the sector. "I think the Quality of Advice Review is what is going to address the fundamental issues that we have at the moment with access and affordability of financial advice," Phil said. "I think all of them are hopefully going to contribute to what we would like to see, which is a return to growth in the advice market, and that means more advisers. We want to hold on to as many of the existing advisers as we can. We want a steady flow of new advisors into the market." He added: "I think we've got to a point where the demand for advice exceeds the supply. All the conversations I have suggest that people are not having any difficulty finding new clients, and some businesses are going really well." Listen to the full episode below. 

On a new episode of the ifa Show podcast, host Neil Griffiths is joined by FINSIA CEO and managing director, Yasser El-Ansary. Yasser joined this week's show to discuss the state of the advice industry in 2022 and the importance of December's Quality of Advice Review (QAR).  "I'm certainly one that believes we can do better through this review at creating a robust environment for financial advice that supports all of those big picture outcomes that governments, and indeed, consumers in our economy are looking for," Yasser said. "But we also have to be realistic that the pace of change in financial services, the role of innovation and technology in adapting and evolving the way that financial services is delivered right across the B2C market, as well as the B2B market means that there will probably be a need for governments to continue to maintain a close watching brief on a space like financial advice. So I think the timing is right. I think the work that is being done here is hugely important." On the episode, Yasser also discusses FINSIA's QAR submission, the sector's biggest issues and expectations following the review.

ClearView managing director Simon Swanson joins this week's ifa Show podcast. After issuing its Quality of Advice Review (QAR) submission to Treasury this month, Mr Swanson joined host Neil Griffiths to talk about what he believes is the biggest issue in advice today – the simplification process. “The analogy I'd draw, is actually going to see a doctor, right? You go to see a doctor. The doctor says, ‘How are you, Neil?' And you say, ‘I've got a cold.' So you've actually self-diagnosed here. The doctor has actually not diagnosed. You've diagnosed yourself, right? "Then you have a conversation with a doctor who may say, ‘You need a script', et cetera, et cetera. Does the doctor say, ‘Look, I need to do a statement of advice. I need to recommend three different types of medicine to actually resolve your cold, flu, broken leg, whatever you've got. And then I need you to go away for a while I write up a statement of advice. And then I'd like you to come back in two weeks' time?' At which stage your broken leg is probably quite sore, right? It's just a crazy process. “We've got to be in the financial advice game.” On this episode, Mr Swanson also dissects the survey that ClearView released alongside its QAR submission and his predictions for what the review will bring in December.

On a new episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by Shane Bell, cyber partner at specialist advisory and restructuring firm, McGrathNicol. Shane joined the podcast to discuss the recent landmark ruling, in which the Federal Court found that local firm RI Advice breached its licence obligations by failing to have adequate risk management systems to manage its cyber security risks, and what it means for advisers and practices moving forward. Shane suggested that cyber security be one of the top priorities for firms. “I completely acknowledge and appreciate that there is a huge amount of competing risk issues at the most senior levels of organisations, where it's hard to distil all that down and give everything a voice. But cyber security absolutely has to be there,” he said. “If I'm a financial adviser, I'm doing things using technology every single day in my interactions with clients, in my upwards reporting. “So technology is embedded in everything that we're doing. And for that reason, cyber security has to be in some of the top risks that you're considering.”

On a new episode of the ifa Show, host Neil Griffiths is joined by executive director of the Association of Independently Owned Financial Professionals (AIOFP), Peter Johnston. Peter joined the podcast to talk about the federal election aftermath, what the change of government will mean for the advice industry, and what the priorities are. “Well, the first thing that needs to be fixed is this cliff facing about up to 3,000 risk advisers,” he said. "And these people, if they don't pass it by 1 September, they're actually kicked out of the industry, which would be a tragedy. “The second thing we need is to get this compliance regime fixed. Minimum 50 per cent of these need to be wiped out.” On this episode, Neil and Peter also discuss shadow financial services minister Stephen Jones' previous comments about immediate action on changes to education standards and what the industry can do to work alongside government to enact positive change.

This week's episode of the ifa Show podcast sees host Neil Griffiths joined Scott Miller, CEO and co-founder of financial advice disruptor, Asendium. On this episode, Scott discusses why the advice industry is on the precipice of even more change after the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and with a predicted exodus of advisers by 2026. “But there's also going to be a great opportunity,” Scott said. “Now, what I mean by that is, planners will be able to access and service more clients as a result of the shrinking industry… one of the reasons I see planners changing as well, and the industry on change, is technology has become the forefront of everything right now.” On this episode, Neil and Scott also talk about why it's becoming more cost-effective to be an independent financial adviser, what licensees can be doing to support advisers though this change, and analyse the state of Australia's technology ecosystem in 2022.
