What is the future of work?

It’s the question everyone wants the answer to. Has anyone got it right yet? The jury’s out. One thing’s for sure, we all want to work smarter, not longer. 

In this episode, Olga is joined by Charlotte Lockhart, co-founder of 4 Day Week Global. She talks about why a focus on productivity, not time, can help us all be happier, healthier and more successful. Anne-Marie Lister, Chief People Officer at Atom Bank, also joins in to talk about their new approach to work.

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?

Are We Nearly There Yet?

What will make financial services a sector where people want to work and stay?

The lack of diversity in financial services is putting people off joining the industry - brilliant people who could be bringing much-needed skills, new ideas and different perspectives to the sector.

In this episode, Olga is joined by renowned financial adviser and TV personality Emmanuel Asuquo. He talks about his experience joining the industry as a young black man from a council estate in East London, what inspired him to become the success he is today and the change he wants to see happen.

Living The Dream

Who will take one for the team for a better, fairer financial system?

Financial services and technology are moving fast. But stop. We need to pause and ask ourselves what we’re really doing, and who for, otherwise we risk not making progress at all.

In this episode, Olga is joined by Adah Parris, a creative provocateur who helps people see the world differently. She wants financial institutions to get out of their echo chambers, ask some big questions and start building a new world. But first, someone’s got to step off the hamster wheel - fast.
