This episode of our Professional Year 'mini-series' is all about that pathway from university to the world of advice - and where the PY piece fits into that entire puzzle.

Nathan and Jordan are joined by Alisdair Barr of Striver, a key player in the recruitment, training and retention of new talent in advice.

Alisdair takes us through:

• Their ambitious goal of helping find the next 5,000 advisers over the next 10 years
• The absolutely critical role academics play in showing students the joy, satisfaction and meaning that can come from a career in financial advice (and how they help shepherd them out of those other, less appealing roles!).
• The huge gap we have in our demographic profile - not just from a lack of people coming into the profession, but also after the multitude of departures.
• The possibilities that can come by opening up our perspective on who can contribute roles into the entire advisory, employment ecosystem.
• And, in news totally gobsmacking for Jordan and Nathan, just how old the youngest PY participant was.

It's a fascinating contribution to our PY series and should you have any questions for Alisdair at all, you can reach him via:
