Since pivoting from financial advice into a more permanent mortgage broking role, Marcus Roberts (@mrmarcusroberts) of Brighter Finance (www.brighterfinance.com.au) is the co-creator and co-host of the new Sydney Property Insider podcast (www.sydneypropertyinsider.com.au). A B2C podcast created with the intentions of providing property purchasing advice without the hard sell (no off-the-plan spruiking here!). This episode is one part stand-up comedy and one part thought-provoking discussion with Marcus sharing the process, the costs and considerations of setting up a new B2C podcast in the finance space, why he chose a podcast over blogging and why he shifted from Advice to Mortgage Broking (and is killing it in the referral space).

She's been dubbed the 'Walking Corporations Act', and has been on the pulse of Financial Services regulation since the beginning of the AFSL. So, if you're thinking about self-licensing or if the regulator ever comes knocking, Jaime Lumsden Kelly (@jaimelumsdenkel), Solicitor Director from The Fold Legal (www.thefoldlegal.com.au) is who you'll want to call. In this episode, Clayton and Jaime discuss what self-licensing is, how it works and everything you need to consider if you're thinking of going down the independent path. Jaime gives examples of how some Advisers have come unstuck, the risks associated with self-licensing and what she believes is the root cause of conflict between ASIC and Advisers (and how we might fix it).

Like most entrepreneurial journeys, Drew Davison's (LinkedIn: drew-davison-b0013aba/) began when he saw a huge pain point for agents in the digital marketing of real estate. This led to his light bulb moment on a beach in October 2013 where B4 Real Estate (www.b4.com.au) was born; a piece of tech now being dubbed the 'Tinder of Real Estate'. This episode is a deep dive and step by step discussion into the long and arduous, but rewarding journey of bringing a real-time property app to market. Drew reflects on things he would do differently and how he used an out-of-the-box marketing strategy to make noise in a market dominated by two giant players.

You've heard the term 'holistic advice', but what does it actually mean and how do you shift yours or your boss' way of thinking to adopt this more modern approach to financial advice? Andrew Shakespeare (@ajshakey82) of The JSA Group (www.jsagroup.com.au), and 2010's AFA Rising Star Award Winner leads a team of financial professionals who are consistently looking beyond client's investment returns and super balances to develop strategies that are far more meaningful and valuable to their client's wealth and wellbeing. In this short and sweet episode with Ben and Clayton, Andrew explains why he rarely starts with traditional financial planning concepts in the first meeting, how he prices initial and ongoing advice, how to attract organic referrals and why it's conversations like this one that are important ones to be having in light of the Royal Commission and the future state of financial advice.
