150) Pete Matthew - The Podfather of UK Personal Finance

Today’s conversation is with Pete Matthew, Financial Planner, Podcaster, YouTuber, and CEO of Jacksons Wealth Management.

From flipping burgers in McDonalds to becoming Managing Director of Jackson’s Wealth Management, Pete followed a fairly classic career path. Until he started messing around with a video camera and creating content.

I’ve titled this episode the Podfather of UK Personal Finance and that is for good reason. Pete has shared countless hours of indepth content on the Meaningful Money Podcast and Youtube Channel in the last decade.

Expect to learn about Pete’s background and journey, the 3 steps to Financial Success including insight into budgeting, debt, insuring against disaster, paying yourself first, and how to invest wisely,

I get into the nitty gritty and benefit from Pete’s expertise on striking the right balance between Pensions and Isa payments, the Tax considerations, and how to manage your pension with your employer.

As part of this conversation, you will also hear about multi asset funds and what to look for in your initial choices to have a light touch, relatively low admin approach to investing and personal finance.

Finally, I ask about risk appetite and tolerance as well as the biggest financial mistakes Pete sees being made and the answers might surprise you.

Today's episode sponsor is previous podcast guest, Mike Samuels.

Mike is a copywriter who's been responsible for over $170 Million in online sales for his clients, and now teachers others how to become what he calls 'Coffee Shop Copywriters.' He's personally guided over 300 people to the point where they're now earning their living as highly-paid, highly-respected copywriters, earning up to £350 per hour, and getting paid multiple times for one piece of work.

Mike is very clear that copywriting is not an easy way to riches, rather, it's a skill that requires practice.

However, he's simplified the process, and truly believes anyone who loves writing, and has the drive to earn their living as a writer can do exactly that.

He's put together a selection of free templates to get you started, along with access to a masterclass that shows you how to use these templates, and how to find and sign high-paying clients.

If this is something that interests you, and you like the idea of earning a great living from your laptop, while mastering an in-demand skill clients around the world happily pay for, head to www.thefreedomkickstarter.com/500templates to grab your templates and free class.
