UK financial services-related live podcast held in the UK and, secondly, there has never been any financial services event in the UK involving so much alcohol.The show follows the normal format, albeit in a slightly more "shamboli...

Excellent podcast

As a solo practitioner in Ireland, I get a lot of value from fun, informative, and topical discussions between a good bunch of guys with whom I share the philosophy of delivering real financial planning to clients. Will definitely be at the live event in 2024. John McWey @ardbrackfin

Outstanding podcast from 4 pioneers of the noble profession

As a financial advisor based in Ireland, I have followed all 4 members of the TRAP pack for many years.

I am currently running a product selling / transaction brokerage. I have wanted to make the commitment to transform the business into a proper financial planning firm for years but I never made the commitment.

Listening to the gents talk about real financial planning in such great detail has been the catalyst I’ve need for change. Hearing the meaning relationship they develop with clients and the true job satisfaction that they get from providing real financial planning has been inspirational.

These four gents are true pioneers of this noble profession and I am extremely grateful for each of their contribution and willingness to share their expertise. Thanks lads. Darragh
