WealthTalk - money, wealth and personal finance. 300 Episodes of Wealth: Celebrating the Journey & Shaping the Future
This week marks a major milestone for WealthTalk as Christian Rodwell and Kevin Whelan celebrate the 300th episode of the podcast.

They highlight the importance of family, recurring income, and legacy, and preview upcoming changes in content and focus, including the impact of new inheritance tax rules and the growing relevance of women in wealth. Listeners are invited to join the conversation, share feedback, and help shape the future of WealthTalk.
