Goals-based advice podcast

Behavioural finance is an area of study that has piqued the interest of financial advisers increasingly over the years. With a multitude of courses, books, outlets to learn more about the topic, it is easy to get lost in the science and lose sight of how to actually apply the concepts to the adviser-client relationship.

We got some great tips from Philip, as well as a couple of quick activities you can use with your clients.
