If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, and certainly if you've read my book, you'll be aware that we adhere to a framework in helping people gain choice. A core element of that framework is the three pathways. The entire Financial Autonomy framework, and in particular these three pathways, are the product of my 20 odd years as a practising financial planner. I've observed how hundreds of Australians have accumulated wealth, and the various ways in which they've used that wealth to impact their lives. The Financial Autonomy framework isn't some theoretical idea that popped out of the ether.

I sometimes refer to which of the pathways a particular podcast episode relates during the introduction. I do this in the foolish assumption that everyone listening has read the Financial Autonomy book or at least checked out our website and knows what it is I'm talking about. But of course there will be many listening who have only recently stumbled across the podcast, so let's take a moment in this episode to bring you up to speed on this foundational element of what we do here at Financial Autonomy.
