Welcome to the F* Word, a new series of frank, honest & informative podcasts on one of today’s conversational taboos – *Finance (see what we did there?) presented by Legal News Wales, with RBC Brewin Dolphin.
If you’re someone like me who dreads thinking about long-term financial planning but loves to make plans for the future – is too afraid to ask obvious questions about money and needs a financial kickstart – then join me as I start on my own adventure to address the F* Word and use it to better my life, with confidence. Episodes 1 and 2 are now available to stream, below.
As the host of each episode I’ll be joined by a series of guests and our partner, RBC Brewin Dolphin, who will help me, and you, navigate a culturally taboo subject – our F* word – Finance.
We’ll explore why we don’t talk about it enough, what on earth the current economic climate means to the vast majority of us, and how to take full control of your life and let money work hard for you, whatever your age, gender, income and mindset. I’m here to ask the stupid questions for you and make sure the conversations are down to earth, realistic and fun.
the F* Word Episode 1: Why don’t we talk about it?
In this episode, I’m joined by Greg Tait, Financial Planner (profile) and Col Ellis, Learning and Development Specialist (profile), both from RBC Brewin Dolphin, to explain why Finance is today’s F* word, why most of us shy away from talking about it and what we can do to change this, to improve our lives, and the world around us.
the F* Word Episode 2: Does it keep us awake at night?
One of the most common causes of stress – is money – or at least worrying about achieving the things you need money for. Sleepless nights and poor mental health can stem from uncertainty surrounding earning it, keeping it, growing it and even spending it.
In this episode, Legal News Wales Editor Emma Waddingham is joined by Greg Tait, Financial Advisor at RBC Brewin Dolphin, to tackling the F* Word head on. They’ll highlight the dangers of continuing to sidestep the Finance and planning taboo and offer some simple, encouraging and positive steps for change (and a good night’s sleep).
