That’s A Problem For Future Olga

How do we get more people to understand the importance of financial planning? Making a financial decision is scientifically proven to be one of the hardest things for a human to do. We just can’t get our heads round it, so we bury them in the sand instead. In this episode, comedian Olga Koch is joined by one of the UK’s leading behavioural economists, Mark Pittaccio (Quilter). He talks about why good people make bad decisions and shares some clever mind-tricks financial advisers can use to help clients empathise with their future selves.

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.
