It’s a fact that people would rather talk about sex, politics or their mental health than money. Could this be why 24 million UK adults don’t feel confident managing their money, or why 85% of Australians don’t have a financial plan? Research shows that if we talked more about our finances, we’d all make better decisions, feel less stressed and more in control. Our kids would also be more likely to form good lifetime money habits. So it begs the question:

Why would people rather talk about anything but their finances?

Financial wellness coach and author of How to Save It, Bola Sol, joins comedian Olga Koch for a frank and fearless conversation about our weird relationship with money and why understanding it could help the financial services industry out.

Listen up! The award-winning, hard-hitting financial services podcast from Iress is back for Series 3.

Emmanuel Asuquo is a financial adviser, TV personality, author and now the new host of Upfront! 

He’ll be asking the questions that nobody else is asking and getting guests to drop some serious gems to help you shine.

Series three is full of upfront conversations that everyone in financial services needs to hear, like:

What do the most successful financial advisers do differently? Are financial services doing enough to help neurodiverse people? Is a fear of maths and numbers putting people off finance? Does digital transformation cause more problems than it solves? Do you have to get up at 5am to be productive? Is it getting harder to make customer experience a priority?

As always, expect honesty, expect humour. Just don’t expect it to sound like any other financial services podcast.

The first episode of Season 3 releases on Wednesday 26th June, and then every two weeks from then. Subscribe to Upfront so you never miss one. Get in touch at upfront@iress.com and visit the blog at iress.com/upfront.
