Alan learns important money lessons of humility, resilience, and ingenuity

Real Money Stories Podcast

This week I speak to financial services entrepreneur Alan Smith.

Alan tells how his relationship with money was influenced by the childhood experience of his family going from living a life of opulence and luxury, to one of living on the breadline, following the collapse of his father’s property business in the 1970s.

A brief brush with debt and high living early in Alan’s career was brought into check by a doubling of his mortgage payments following the interest rate hikes of the early 1990s. Alan explains why and how he made the leap from comfortable, successful corporate executive to unprepared small business owner with an uncertain future.

And be sure to listen to the end when Alan shares what he has learned about money from his clients and the money success framework that he know teaches his children.
