  • Spending habits

    This week I chat to presenter and podcast host Alacey Brooks for an honest chat about about spending habits.  I wonder if any of you will relate to how she approaches money management?  We also touch on how to know if you're being paid fairly, emotional spending and whether social media is good or bad.  A really candid and frank episode - give it a listen!

  • Taking risks with your career

    This episode I'm chatting to the COO of MPM Products, Jimmy Bracewell.  

    You might not immediately recognise the brand name, but if you own a cat, chances are you will have bought one of their brands.  Famous for their food brands, Encore and Applaws, and their cat litter 'Nature's Calling', their brands are sold in 49 markets worldwide with offices in the UK, Australia, USA and China.  Jimmy has overseen their sales growth from £10m to over £100m, with a few management buy outs along the way.

    In this episode, fellow accountant Jimmy talks about how taking risks, as well as having a 5 year plan, have led him to where he is now.

  • Simplifying investing for beginners

    This week I chat to Pete Komolafe, host of the Conversation of Money You Tube Channel.  Pete's channel has over 25k subscribers.  He's so popular that someone recently tried to imitate him.  Which would have been a compliment had they not been trying to defraud his followers.  Pete and I discuss his channel and how you should go about investing.

    By the end of the episode, you'll realise it really doesn't have to feel so daunting after all!
