Fast forward

What if your grocery store became your bank? Or your retirement fund merged with your favourite clothing retailer? These are the sort of non-obvious questions financial services businesses need to be asking if they want to be part of the future. But with so much innovation and change going on, we’ve got a big question too: How can financial services keep up in a faster world? So buckle-up buttercup as we take you on a journey to the (near) future with world-renowned trends expert Rohit Bhargava. He joins the Upfront podcast to talk about how businesses can be more resilient and lead the future with a little more non-obvious thinking. Where do you see yourself in the future?

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.
