Some ads you need to log in for and sadly we can't get those. Also, since

Introducing a new podcast project with me and my
youngest daughter Kate Matthew. Aimed at younger folks
than Meaningful Money, we hope to get decent financial
info out there in a world dominated by influencers and
get-rich-quick schemes.
Check it out wherever you get your podcasts (except
Spotify who are taking their sweet time indexing it, but
it’ll be there soon!)

Video Diary: Meet Pete 🎥
Pete is the CEO here at Jacksons, but we all agree that
feels far too stuffy a title! He is warm, open and
always willing to help. He has a wealth of knowledge and
we feel very lucky to have him to look up to!

transcript: >-
Hi, I'm Pete Matthew. I'm CEO and Chartered Financial
Planner here at Jacksons. One of the things I think we
do really well here is to allow every member of the team
the space to do the job in the way that works best for
them. I've never really understood businesses that kind
of constrain people to do the job a certain way. Given
that we all have different strengths and talents. I
think if we allow people to bring those to bear on the
job, then everybody benefits, not least the business
itself. I think the thing I'm most proud of. Is the new
generation coming through? It's not that long ago that I
was the youngest person here at Jacksons and now I'm
pleased to say that I'm one of the oldest. So important
to bring new people into this incredible profession and
I'm proud that we're doing our bit for that. Absolutely.
Let's go. Kindle, Kindle holiday, hot holiday by the
pool N I'm from Yorkshire. Cake if I'm by the pool,
maybe a cocktail, but generally a beer.

🎙️When you’re self-employed, investing and planning for
your financial future can feel like another thing you’re
expected to figure out on your own.
But when it comes to investing, Pete Matthew explains
that it isn’t necessarily the stock market that loses
people money - it can be the decisions we make at the
wrong time.
In the latest episode of The Healthy Practice Podcast,
Pete explores how time, diversification and taking a
long-term approach can help reduce investment risk.
Listen to the full conversation now on Spotify, Apple
Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧
