How do we get more people to understand the importance of financial planning?

Making a financial decision is scientifically proven to be one of the hardest things for a human to do. We just can’t get our heads round it, so we bury them in the sand instead.

In this episode, comedian Olga Koch is joined by one of the UK’s leading behavioural economists, Mark Pittaccio (Quilter). He talks about why good people make bad decisions and shares some clever mind-tricks financial advisers can use to help clients empathise with their future selves.

Comedian Olga Koch returns to ask the questions that nobody else is asking in a series of bold and frank conversations that everyone in financial services needs to hear.

Could we close the advice gap by thinking more creatively? Can Homer Simpson get more people interested in financial planning? What would an ex-hacker do to fight rising financial crime? Do we need to completely rethink investing? And just how do we make the financial system better and fairer?
