Living The Dream

What will make financial services a sector where people want to work and stay? The lack of diversity in financial services is putting people off joining the industry - brilliant people who could be bringing much-needed skills, new ideas and different perspectives to the sector. In this episode, Olga is joined by renowned financial adviser and TV personality Emmanuel Asuquo. He talks about his experience joining the industry as a young black man from a council estate in East London, what inspired him to become the success he is today and the change he wants to see happen. iress.com/upfrontSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.
