Join me for this episode as we reflect on the intricate tapestry of history to understand the evolution of gender roles and their impact on our lives today and how significant events like wars have necessitated shifts in responsibilities, altering the perceptions of men and women in society 
 
I discuss the  temporary empowerment of women during the Second World War and the subsequent societal push back to traditional roles, examining how these historical patterns influence the modern workforce and the complex balance between professional aspirations and family obligations.
 
In this thought-provoking episode , I turn the attention to the modern landscape of gender roles and financial equality. I share a revealing anecdote that sparks a conversation about the importance of financial literacy and the shifting paradigms of men's and women's roles in contemporary society. 
 
The discussion also looks into the profound influence of the internet on social structures and encourages listeners to embrace innovative thinking, challenging the entrenched stereotypes that have long defined us.
 
Concluding with a powerful argument for financial resilience, this episode implores both men and women to embrace fiscal independence as a form of empowerment. 
 
Discover how financial autonomy can reduce strain in relationships, challenge the traditional breadwinner model, and contribute to a healthier, more inclusive society. 
 
I leave you with strategies to examine your own money habits and inspire a shift towards a future where financial resilience paves the way for a wealthy and fulfilling life.

This week, I pulled back the curtain on my life in this industry, sharing the beats of property viewings and negotiations. 
 
With tales of a four-hour drive to scope out prospects, and the stamina needed to tackle ten viewings in a single day, I weave a narrative of a profession that's as demanding as it is rewarding. 
 
It's a glimpse into a world where strategy and knowledge are currency, and where every deal struck is a step closer to harmonising our personal and professional tunes.
 
Managing a property concierge and project management service is akin to conducting an orchestra; it's about ensuring each section comes in at the right time, creating a symphony of success. 
 
This episode reveals the art of juggling commitments, from month-long trips to the Maldives to staying plugged into the pulse of the business. 
 
 
For those poised to dive into property investment or ignite their own sourcing venture, this episode is a mentor's guiding hand.

Episode 110: A to Z of investing – What you need to know with Jay Rooney
 
 
Welcome back to another episode of "A Wealthy Life," where we explore the intricate world of financial planning for a secure retirement. 
 
We're joined again by Jay Rooney, a dual expert in pensions and property investment, who helps unravel the complexities of creating a robust retirement strategy. 
 
Together, we compare the pros and cons of property investment and pensions, examining types of pensions like defined contribution schemes and how they stack up against the allure of property investing. 
 
Jay provides valuable insights into why it might not be advisable to use self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) for residential property investments due to potential heavy taxes and fines, while also shedding light on the benefits of commercial property investment within a pension.
 
The choice between property and pensions can be daunting, but fear not, as we discuss strategies that can lead to a secure financial future. 
 
Business owners, in particular, will find our conversation on using retained profits to reduce corporation tax through pension contributions especially intriguing, as well as the potential for leveraging intercompany loans for property investments.
 
We discuss the direct control property investments can provide and contrast it with the benefits of pensions, particularly the tax advantages and the way they can be passed on to beneficiaries. 
 
The conversation also covers how a well-managed pension can outlive the holder and continue to provide for future generations.
 
If you're curious about how financial education has evolved and why it's so vital today, or you're pondering the use of ISAs for your savings, then this episode is an essential listen.
