About the Guests:
Terry is all about making money meaningful. He’s got a talent for breaking down big financial ideas into simple, practical steps that help people feel confident and committed to learning.

His expertise comes from two key areas. First, as a performance coach, he worked with some of Australia’s top sports teams and athletes, where he learned how to turn big dreams into concrete plans and a few powerful habits. Then, after earning his MBA and moving into management consulting, he gained the skills to create adult learning programs that make financial knowledge valuable and accessible.

In 2019, Terry teamed up with Ryan Monaghan, his co-founder, to combine their strengths and create a unique financial education platform designed especially for young professionals. Together, they’re making it easier for people to take charge of their finances.
