Change the Subject

Is a fear of maths putting people off doing more with their finances? Over half the working population has the numeracy levels of a primary school child, and a third of adults say they actively avoid anything to do with numbers and data. To find out what can be done to change this, we’ve called in the big guns - mathematician and comedian Adam Spencer.  Join Adam and our host, Emmanuel Asuquo, for a fun and fascinating chat about money and maths. Are we teaching maths all wrong? What effect is a cashless society having on children’s understanding of money? Can we make finance fun? Why are some infinities bigger than others? And was learning Pi a complete waste of time?  Tune in for the answers and some mind-bending facts about numbers and the universe that might make you see maths differently.

Om Podcasten

Listen up! The award-winning, hard-hitting financial services podcast from Iress is back for Series 3. Emmanuel Asuquo is a financial adviser, TV personality, author and now the new host of Upfront!  He’ll be asking the questions that nobody else is asking and getting guests to drop some serious gems to help you shine. Series three is full of upfront conversations that everyone in financial services needs to hear, like: What do the most successful financial advisers do differently? Are financial services doing enough to help neurodiverse people? Is a fear of maths and numbers putting people off finance? Does digital transformation cause more problems than it solves? Do you have to get up at 5am to be productive? Is it getting harder to make customer experience a priority? As always, expect honesty, expect humour. Just don’t expect it to sound like any other financial services podcast. The first episode of Season 3 releases on Wednesday 26th June, and then every two weeks from then.
