What does a former commando know about financial freedom? As it turns out, quite a lot. In this illuminating conversation with Kev Halborg, chartered financial advisor and military veteran, we explore how true financial resilience creates the foundation for everything else in your life.

Kev shares his remarkable journey from council estate to financial advisor, revealing how early exposure to entrepreneurial thinking shaped his understanding of money. With refreshing clarity, he breaks down his three-part framework for building financial resilience: knowing your number through comprehensive auditing, establishing a fighting fund for emergencies, and implementing proper protections for yourself and your business. 

The conversation takes fascinating turns as Kev explains the unexpected spillover effects of financial awareness - from weight loss to improved sleep and relationships. He challenges common misconceptions that financial resilience requires wealth, demonstrating how people at any income level can implement these principles. Parents will appreciate his practical approach to teaching children healthy money habits without transferring anxiety.

Business owners receive particularly valuable insights on continuity planning and protection strategies that not only safeguard families but enhance business value during potential sales. Kev's military background brings a unique perspective on risk management and preparedness that translates perfectly to financial planning.

Throughout our discussion, one truth emerges consistently: financial resilience begins with awareness and honesty. By understanding your current financial reality and implementing basic protective measures, you create the security needed to pursue growth in all areas of life.
