Wake Up Call

Do we have to get up at 5 a.m. to be productive? It might work for the tech bros, but what about in the real world, like financial services, where 91% of people consistently work longer than their contracted hours and 60-80 hour weeks have become normalised?  It’s time for a wake-up call. Organisational psychologist Dr Amantha Imber has helped thousands of people turbo-charge their productivity, well-being and energy levels. Now, she shares her productivity hacks with Emmanuel Asuquo on the Upfront podcast to help you improve your focus, prioritise your day and sleep better. And the good news is, you don’t have to get up at 5 a.m. to do it (unless you’re a Lark). Listening to this episode could be the best 30 minutes you spend today.

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.
