Ensombl Advice Australia

One thing we know about the XY Community is they love hearing from other Financial Advisors and listening to what they've been up to, and one very interesting Advisor who is well worth hearing from is the 'grandad' of XY Adviser – Dean Holmes (LinkedIn:/mrdeanholmes/). Dean is the Co-Founder and Wealth Advisor at Absolute Wealth Advisors (www.absolutewealthadvisors.com.au). He also supports four other innovative Financial Advice businesses under his AFSL The Wealth Network (www.wealthnetwork.net.au). When it comes to taking on new advisors under his license 'wing', Dean says choosing the right people is crucial; there must be an alignment of vision and an alignment of values between both parties because the decisions you make about people in the front end of your world ultimately affect the decisions you make within your businesses later on. In this episode you'll learn how to find the right people to join your organisation, the benefit of incorporating a business coaching program into your organisation (and the one Dean uses), the importance of building trust with prospective clients and the different ways Dean has watched advisors in his network do this and the outcome Dean and Clayton would like to see from the Royal Commission.

Imagine having access to a proven financial coaching strategy designed to help millennial clients smash their financial and lifestyle goals and become the best version of themselves. Now imagine learning this strategy from the #1 Advice firm for millennials - Wealth Enhancers (www.wealthenhancers.community). Finn Kelly (@TheFinnKelly) is the Wealth Enhancers co-founder, Young Presidents and Entrepreneurs Organisations Forum Facilitator, Speaker and Millennial Money Expert who built a niche business model which didn't yet exist in Financial Services. Aside from providing a highly successful financial coaching service to high performing millennials, Wealth Enhancers have also built a strong and reputable brand which has become well renowned not only in the finance industry but with consumers seeking advice. In this episode, Finn explains the key differences between a Financial Adviser and a Financial Coach, how Wealth Enhancers built a different view of Financial Advice for a generation who traditionally haven't sought advice, the four elements you need in your offering to help millennials build financial wealth and how Financial Advisers can work together to raise the collective consciousness and provide great advice to those who really need it.

Pop the virtual champagne – XY Adviser celebrates its 100th podcast episode - and what a ride it's been! We invited XY legend Naomi Christopher (@naomi_midwinter) into the studio to reflect and reminisce on early podcast episodes, the modern adviser conference and the day the XY Adviser idea was born. We also discuss how the XY community has evolved thanks to incredible peer to peer engagement (shout out to XY champion Dylan Martin) and give insights into what it's like to moderate a group of 2,500 + professionals. We look at how far advice has come, where it's headed and how the XY Community is going to help it get there. And in light of everything going on in the industry, Ben poses the question – in 12 months from now, will more or less people have a financial adviser?

There has been plenty of discussions as well as some confusion in the XY community around QROPS. What is it (really) and how do we help our UK expat clients in this space compliantly? So to go beyond just the nuts and bolts of it all, we went straight to the source and invited Adam Turk (@adamdturk) – UK Expat and CEO of Harbourside Capital (www.harboursidecapital.com.au/) into the studio to give us the lowdown. Aside from getting the 'everything you need to know about QROPS' spiel, this episode also explores (and debates) Best Interest Duty, holistic advice against vertical integration, important changes coming for anyone using an MDA and Adam's take on passive investing.

Chris Bates (LI: /christopherbates/) is one half of the brains behind new property podcast 'The Elephant in the Room' (www.theelephantintheroom.com.au/) which has already seen up to 300 downloads per day. It's not your typical property podcast with Chris focusing on what buyers and sellers should and shouldn't do, whether or not we should trust real estate agents and how to play the 'auction' game. In this episode, Chris (Director and Adviser of Wealthful - www.wealthful.com.au/) sits down with Ben and Clayton to discuss how his podcast has become an education piece for his clients, the impact and importance of behavioural finance (did someone say cognitive minimalism?), how Chris is streamlining his business processes before looking to hire and why staffing is such a pain point for new(ish) self-employed advisers.
