Although Fidelity is a financial services business, tech and Digital is at the heart of everything that we do.

The word “Digital” describes the intersection of our raw technological capabilities and their application to our clients, including websites, apps, and other media through which we interact and do business.

On this episode of the Young Money podcast, I speak to Ian Hood, Fidelity’s Head of Digital for the UK, and Maddie Debney, a former graduate and now a rising star on the FinTech Solutions team.

We debate whether the term “disruption” is overused, discuss whether knowing how to code is essential for success in the modern job market, and consider why a technology graduate would want to work in financial services instead of at Google.

On this episode, we look at one of the most lucrative and unexpected ways to strike it big today: buying and reselling shoes.

It all started with young sneaker heads in the 90s, buying up the coolest kicks in Brooklyn and Covent Garden.

Over the years, shoe reselling ballooned from these humble roots into a multimillion pound industry defined by secret locations, snaking queues, and increasingly stretched prices. A single trader can haul in tens of thousands of pounds in a single sitting - at home, on the computer. But for how long can this continue?

To get to the sole of the matter, Daniel Lane and Cameron Ho hop on the #56 bus from the City of London to see one sneaker head flex his collection in his Clerkenwell flat.

Then they head back to Fidelity's recording studio to talk money and motivations with a top up-and-coming player in the London market.

So you want to start investing but you don't know how ... yet.

Cameron Ho and Daniel Lane tell all on this episode of the Young Money podcast.

Changing jobs frequently used to look bad on your CV. But job hopping, and career switching, is becoming more and more acceptable. Encouraged, even.

What are the advantages of changing jobs? Do you have to move to a different company, or can you take on new challenges within the same firm?

Cameron Ho and Daniel Lane address these questions with two Fidelity guests:

Jonathan Wright: Senior Production Manager for the UK Markets and Insights (investment communications) team. Jonathan is celebrating his 20th anniversary at Fidelity this year.

Alex Duffy: Joined Fidelity in 2004 as an equity analyst straight from the University of Nottingham. Today he manages the FF Emerging Markets Focus Fund from the Singapore office.

Our brains are wired to help us respond quickly to different situations. In the 'cave man' days, these mental tools ensured our survival.

Today, much of that programming still exists, and it affects every part of our modern lives. Most importantly, it influences how we spend, save, and invest our money.

On this episode, Cameron and Daniel speak to two Fidelity colleagues about 'behavioral investing' - how can we harness our behavioral biases to make better financial decisions?

Our special guests:

Nick Armet: Head of Investment Communications
Matthew Jennings: Investment Director, European Equities

Why bother going to university? If you do go, should you study the so-called ‘practical’ (business or engineering) or ‘arts’ (humanities) subjects? Is there any truth to these stereotypes, and do the choices you make affect your job prospects?

Cameron Ho discuss these issues on the first episode of the Young Money podcast.
