RISK - What you need to know
This season is called One Big Thing, and the idea is that I have a guest on each week and we discuss something that they’re passionate about, annoyed about, or that is their specialism. I have some great guests lined up for you, starting this week with my good buddy Andy Hart from the Maven Money podcast. Andy and I are going to talk about risk. It’s an important subject to say the least and it’s fair to say that Andy has some strong views on the subject, as do I.

Positioning The Pieces
Today’s show is from February last year, 2020 - back when there were only rumours of something big about to go down. It was part of the Home Straight season, Season 16. The thinking is to get your ducks in a row as you approach retirement, but to be honest, it’s ALWAYS good to have your ducks in a row, so even if you’re in your 30s and retirement seems like miles away, there’ll be something here for you.

Planning To Invest? WAIT!
Today’s show is from May 2019 and was part of the New Accumulators season, Season 14. It’s a plea to take planning seriously before diving into an investment regime which, without planning, would be just done in the abstract. Investing without purpose is crazy, aimless and will never succeed because there are no goals to measure its success against.

Enjoying the Empty Nest
This week’s encore episode is from September 2017 and comes from Season 7 - Life Stages. This episode focuses on the Empty Nest, a stage I’m heading towards in the next few years! This stage very often coincides with our peak earning years, so it’s important both to enjoy the extra cash in the present and also to store up some serious wealth for the future.

Simplifying Pensions
The podcast is currently on hiatus while I plan for Season 20 and also get things in place for the final launch of Meaningful Academy Retirement Planning. More on that in just a sec, but for the next few weeks I will be reviving some older episodes on various topics. This week’s old show is about simplifying pensions. The episode should stand alone, but the shownotes have been updated to meaningfulmoney.tv/session425
