Increasing Financial Wellbeing and Mindfulness, with Dave Harvie Goals Based Advice Podcast

In challenging times for the advice industry, it is important that those with influence step up to the plate and encourage Australians to seek financial advice. Financial wellbeing empowerment is a growing topic of discussion in Australia, especially in the midst of a recession. The great news is, there are companies out there spreading this message.

We discuss the importance of language when addressing financial knowledge with clients, understanding client bias and tendencies, and get some fascinating insight into new industry statistics.
