Modern Mindset

Rory McGowan sits down with Hugh Longland from the Westerleigh Group to talk about new data his company is publishing where they surveyed over 55s, the constituency most likely to be organising a funeral, about the things that make the process stressful for them, and how to combat those stresses with conversations and prior planning.

Rory McGowan sits down with Matt West, the CEO of tenancy management companies The Lettings Hub & Canopy Group, to talk all about the newly implemented Renters' Rights Act, giving new rights and responsibilities to tenants and landlords alike.

Rory McGowan sits down with Marie Troughton from the Skincare brand Clinique about easy skincare tips ahead of the warm spring and summer weather, and together they discuss Rosacea, a more serious skin condition that effects around 1 in 10 people here in the UK - including what the symptoms are and when red marks on your skin mean something more serious.

Rory McGowan talks to Christian Tucat, the CEO of Home Healthcare Provider Sciensus, about a new report they've presented to parliament regarding the types of healthcare possible from home, and how that helps the NHS' 10 year plan to bring more care into the community.

Daniel Clewlow talks to Sarah Mills, the Director of Services at the UK charity Porchlight, about how charities like theirs support people into permanent housing.

She shines a light on the inaccuracy of the stereotypes around homelessness, and they discuss Hidden Homelessness - the idea that it's not just people on the treats, but also those who live in their cars, or on a friend's sofa.

Rory McGowan speaks to Alan Graves, the Founder and Clinical Research Advisor at DoNotAge, about new research around what Brits want out of their old age - and how it's trending away from looking great to being healthy as the top priority.

Alan knows what it's like to look older than he is, as a unhealthy lifestyle in his 20s meant that he looked like he was in his 40s. However, after founding DoNotAge, he's transformed his lifestyle and now is helping millions around the world do the same to help them be healthy and look younger.

Rory McGowan is joined by Graeme Privett, a Private Client Tax Partner from HaysMac with more than eleven years accountancy experience, to talk about what small businesses and landlords can do to make tax digital, even if they've missed the deadline for the new financial year.

Rory McGowan sits down with an expert in Bereavement Legal services, Jonathan Upton, to talk about the NS&I scandal and why financial institutions like them have been unable to deliver the money of deceased family members to their next of kin.

They also touch on how this money also is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to lost money, as millions of pounds are also tied up in pension pots that most people forget or do not claim.

Rory sits down with Stuart Miller from Xero Accounting Software to discuss one of the biggest changes for taxes on small businesses in the last 30 years - replacing annual physical tax returns with quarterly digital updates.

The two of them talk about what changes small businesses are making, how it will effect them and pros and cons of this new system.

Rory McGowan sits down with George Oborne, the CEO of Wowcher and SpaBreaks, about how busy this time of year is for his business, and why vouchers for Mother's Day are popular among customers of all ages.

They talk about the most common experiences bought for their mums and gift ideas for Dad's who are helping their kids get Mother's Day right.
