George Kinder is a friend, mentor and widely recognised as the Father of the Financial Life Planning movement. For over 30 years, George has trained thousands of financial advisers from 30 countries in life planning, which enables them to help deliver freedom into their clients’ lives. George has published seven books, and central to most is this concept of freedom. His most recent book The Three Domains of Freedom sets out to empower readers to experience profound freedoms in their own lives and bring about positive change to our civilisation as a result. In our conversation we explore the book’s three core concepts, delve into the challenges of balancing mindfulness with future planning, the feeling of insignificance in a chaotic world, and the potential impact retirees can have on society. George also shares his vision for a more just and sustainable world and the practical steps he suggests for making that vision a reality.

I'm thrilled to have with us a guest whose work has profoundly shaped the way we think about time, productivity, and living a meaningful life. Oliver Burkeman is a renowned British journalist, author, and former columnist for The Guardian, best known for his groundbreaking book 4,000 Weeks, Time Management for Mortals. I loved this book and am honoured that Oliver joined me to share his story and research, and to introduce his latest book, Meditations for Mortals - Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make More Time for What Counts, which has sparked a global conversation about the finite nature of our lives and how we can make the most of our limited time, especially as we enter the later stages of life. We chat about how life’s too short to wait for the “right” moment, especially for retirees and soon to be retirees, and Oliver urges us to live meaningfully now—not later. After all, time is finite.

Approaching retirement and frustrated with her job, Siobhan Daniels made a big decision: to start living life on her own terms. Rather than feeling broken, voiceless and hiding from life’s challenges, she took early retirement, swapped her possessions for a motorhome, and drove off to find them. Since that day five years ago, Siobhan has published a book she called Retirement Rebel: One woman, one motorhome, one great big adventure - an honest and uplifting story of how one woman stepped off the merry-go-round of life. Through her podcast, public speaking and book Siobhan is keen to show older women they can have their adventures and age positively.

Billy is a highly regarded financial adviser with over 30 years’ experience and founder of the Retirement Planning Project which aims to make it easier for people to get information and help on all aspects of retirement planning.

Do you believe you can heal faster just by tricking your brain? Could you lose weight with only a change of mindset?
Could you think yourself into being younger?
Can the power of your thoughts defy ageing? In short, have you ever wondered if you could improve your health by harnessing the power of your mind? When it comes to our health, too many of us feel trapped by a medical diagnosis, believing that it can only mean a static or worsening condition. Whether it is stiff knees, frayed nerves or failing eyesight, your mind can lead you to believe things will only get worse. But this week’s guest has proven through decades of scientific research that with practical steps you can take control of your mindset, by using your thoughts and perspective to help improve your wellbeing. Award-winning social psychologist Professor Ellen Langer has been studying the connection between the mind and body for over 4 decades as an esteemed psychologist at Harvard. Known as the "mother of mindfulness”, she is the author of 13 books, including her most recent release Mindful Body - Thinking Our Way to Lasting Health, which will help you navigate a path to improved health and wellbeing. We also explore the concept of risk as a personal phenomenon and its impact upon how we approach retirement planning.

As a highly regarded financial adviser and an industry expert with over 30 years’ experience, Billy Burrows first joined me in 2019 to chat about all things to do with annuities. Since we last spoke the annuity landscape has changed significantly and has become harder to beat as a solution for pension income. So, I welcome Billy back to talk about the pros and cons of buying an annuity versus entering pension drawdown to help you decide the best way to provide an income in your retirement. Billy believes that many people are unknowingly throwing income down the drain due to a lack of understanding. Intuitively people may think that drawdown is the “best thing since sliced bread”. But, in reality, and especially now that interest rates and bond yields have increased, an annuity is actually a very hard act to beat! Listen here to find out why this is the case!

Chatting to me today is Dr Ben Hicks, Research Fellow at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. I first met Ben 5 years ago and invited him to be on the panel of one of our first Retirement Café events. Back then he was working hard to change the perception that dementia is no longer a death sentence in his role as psychologist and researcher with Bournemouth University Dementia Institute. Although dementia is one of the most common and serious conditions society faces today with more than 800,000 people affected in the UK, Ben believes that with the right research technology and care, dementia sufferers can live well with the disease for many years. As Co-ordinator of the DETERMIND research programme, Ben explains how the project looks at why care for dementia patients is unequal and the impact this has upon people’s health, level of comfort and happiness. Ben also shares some of his research findings and what this could mean for the future of care.

The FCA has issued a warning about the mismanagement of Asset Protection Trust Schemes. They’re concerned about the number of firms mis selling trusts on behalf of Trustees who don’t understand what they’re invested in or what benefits the trusts actually provide. Asset Protection Trusts are trusts into which you typically transfer assets, often including your home, during your lifetime. Some people fall victim to unscrupulous or unqualified advisers who suggest these trusts provide specific protection from Inheritance Tax or are a good place to shelter your assets from any liability for paying care fees. In this podcast episode, learn about the common traps people fall into when setting up Asset Protection Trusts, the genuine benefits they offer and reasons to consider one, and how to check whether your trust is suitable for you.

Laura Black successfully climbed the corporate ladder to become a successful attorney. When retirement hit, her descent down that same ladder was marked by loss and marginalization. She no longer possessed the CEO status she placed so much of her worth in, her children fled the nest for lives of their own, and she had to cope with the decline and eventual deaths of her parents. Plus, well, aging, which is hard in itself. In a nutshell, Laura discovered that as a mature woman, mother and wife, it can be harder to find true happiness after leaving a long-term career. Laura’s first book, Big Butts, Fat Thighs, and Other Secrets to Success, empowered women to accept and use their vulnerabilities in forming critical business relationships. Laura’s latest book, Climbing down the ladder, a journey to a different kind of happy investigates how woman can keep their identify after losing their business card.
In this episode Kathy & Justin chat about the important changes to the lifetime allowance announced in the Chancellor’s budget in March. It’s fair to say that the extent of the changes has taken the financial advice sector by surprise. It was widely anticipated that the lifetime allowance would be increased, but not fully abolished. We aim to clear up any confusion about what this latest change to pensions legislation means for you, by reminding you first of the annual allowance rules and when the Tapered Annual Allowance and Money Purchase Annual Allowance take effect. The contribution limits for these two allowances have increased from £4,000 to £10,000, so it’s important to understand if you’re affected. We also go into detail about the impact of scrapping the Lifetime Allowance Tax Charge, the change to tax-free cash levels (also known as the Pension Commencement Lump Sum), the anticipated scrapping of the Lifetime Allowance itself, and what this means if you have fixed protection in place. We don’t have all the answers as yet, so this episode covers what we know to date.
I want to help my clients make the best possible decisions about their financial future, so over the years I’ve done a lot of research into how to make smart decisions. I’d like to share some of the insight I’ve gathered in this podcast. The topic of decision making is vast, so I’m going to focus on one specific set of tools which I feel are incredibly powerful – that’s Mental Models. I first came across Mental Models from Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway fame. I share a story of Charlie using one of the models I share in this episode as far back as 1943, that of Inversion. The pair are renowned for using Mental Models to inform their decisions about which companies to invest in. Mental Models are powerful tools that can help us make better decisions and navigate complex situations, as they provide a framework for understanding the world around us. In this episode Kathy and I share three models: Inversion, Backcasting and Compounding, and how you can apply them to the decisions you make everyday.
Robin Wigglesworth is editor of FT Alphaville, the Financial Times’ financial blog, where he focuses on the biggest trends reshaping markets, investing and finance across the world. Robin is also the author of a book called ‘Trillions – How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented The Index Fund and changed Finance Forever’. It’s been described as the definitive book on the past, present and future of passive investing. Trillions is a riveting read for anyone interested in the story of index funds, which is a topic I’ve discussed with several guests on the podcast over the years. Robin describes the index funds as one of the most disruptive inventions in the history of investing and he joined me on the podcast to explain why, with humorous anecdotes and stories, including Warren Buffet’s famous bet against any active manager to beat the index over a 10 year period. We also chat about a concept known as index hugging or closet indexing, different types of index funds available, where Robin shares the story of value stocks, and how building a judicious portfolio can help make for a successful investment experience. Oh, and Robin shares the secret of FT Alphaville’s success (it’s free!).
