Season 3 Episode 2 - Why Emotional Intelligence matters with Author Amy Jacobson

Throughout this podcast series, we have been exploring saving, investing and finances from many different angles but with a primary focus on the educational side which is a fundamental building block to building your confidence around your finances. Knowing WHAT to do is a key component but it is not quite enough to really move the needle. We first need to explore the emotional drivers that influence how we feel about money, why we feel that way, why it actually matters and then how do we seek to increase our emotional intelligence to help us affect positive change.

Emotional Intelligence, human behaviour expert and Author Amy Jacobson joins me as we explore this and more!

Season 2 Episode 6 Transitioning to Retirement with David Counsel

The "mental" side of transitioning to retirement planning is often underestimated and an aspect that is just as important to consider and plan for alongside the financial side. 

David and I talk through both sides in this episode - the financial side of retirement  – we will decipher what can happen to your super when you retire, explain what an Account Based Pension is, the minimums you have to draw,  how much is “safe” to draw and how the Centrelink pension works and interacts with it all…….
Then we explore the mental side Retirement which can mean different things for different people – some sail into retirement and don’t look back – have hobbies/interests/passions they jump straight into – others find it more challenging.  Perhaps they have been so focused on retirement as an end goal that they haven’t really thought about what the other side looks like – so lets explore how you can prepare and plan for this key life transition!

Season 2 Episode 5 - Deciphering our Superannuation System with Travis Edwards

Growing your Superannuation is the foundation through which you can plan for a comfortable retirement in a tax effective way.  It has been specifically designed and endorsed by the Federal Government as the preferred way to save for your retirement and has added tax benefits that make it particularly attractive.

Travis Edwards joins me to unravel and decipher how you can tackle this key aspect of your financial affairs.

What is not commonly known is that our super system is the envy of the world and whilst we can always find fault in any system – on balance, if you haven’t already started to get your head around super – please start today – one day, for most of us, it could well become our most valuable asset ….
