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 conversation is with Gary McGowan also known as Skinny Gaz. Gary McGowan is a 27-year old personal trainer, the co-owner of Triage Method, and a current medical student. With various practical qualifications in personal training, nutrition and strength & conditioning, as well as a BSc in Physiotherapy, Gary is interested in how individuals can live their lives in the most healthful way possible. Beyond exercise, nutrition, and the behaviours we typically associate with "health", he also has a keen interest in philosophy and psychology as it relates to the pursuit of a good life. Given Gary wears a number of different hats, I ask about his identify and how he views himself. This is of particular interest given his recent hamstring injury which impacted his ability to train. Expect to learn much more about the different aspects of identify, how our mindset, self talk, upbringing and sources we consume can shape how we view ourselves. I mentioned Gary has a keen interest in philosophy and psychology which leads to us discussing what an anti-fragile and good life looks like. Within this you’ll hear about coaching, Nasim Taleb, Jordan Peterson, resilience, being happy, and even jump style dance. Lastly, as Gary is such a busy individual we touch on productivity, work ethic, morals, self improvement, as well as fatphobic behaviours, fit shaming and virtue signalling.

Eric served under the Obama Administration as a Presidential Innovation Fellow for AI and Robotics in the Executive Office of President, as the sole authority driving the agenda for U.S. leadership in research, commercialisation, and public adoption of AI & Robotics. Expect to understand on a basic level what AI is, how it has been implemented in society and which sectors it is likely to be more prominent in. I ask about Healthcare, transport, and even data. Importantly this leads to ethical discussions on what AI can and should do, what boundaries we should draw, and what frameworks need to be in place. As part of this, we delve into the impact of AI on the job market which is a common criticism of machines taking the jobs of humans. Eric shares his vision for AI in our lives and how he hopes people like you and I engage with the conversation about how it will impact society and our lives.

Stu is the number one back pain expert in the world and works with athletes and general population, covering the principles to cure your back problems and sciatica. Having published over 240 papers, and written several books about back pain, I was privileged to host Stu on the podcast. Expect to learn from Stu’s years of experience to better understand the causes of back pain whether they are physical, psychological, social and more. We discuss the common mistakes clinicians and individuals make when it comes to both assessing back pain and treating it. The world has continued to evolve and change during the time that Stu has been researching and practising and we explore how the modern lifestyle can influence pain or causes of pain. Naturally, we learn about combating the sedentary lifestyle whether that is office based or working at home remotely.
