This week Charlie is joined by Rebecca Kowalski, sustainable finance specialist and director of Overstory Finance. Today Rebecca shares her financial planning career, from Paraplanner to business owner. She explains how she helps forward thinking financial planning firms to fully enter their sustainable investment comfort zone. Maybe they simply lack in-house resource and expertise in the sustainable investment space or perhaps they are worried about recommending inappropriate investment solutions to their clients. Rebecca tells why this area of financial planning is her main focus, the barriers that she’s faced when talking about sustainability, the real life impacts the climate crisis is having and she gives some great advice for those looking to get into sustainable finance. 

We cover: 

• Rebecca’s career journey 
• What service does Overstory Finance provide? 
• What is sustainable investing? 
• How the conversation around financial planning has changed 
• Advice for someone wanting to get into the sustainable side of the financial profession
