The truth about financial advice!

If you've ever felt unsure whether financial advice was really built for someone like you, this episode will help you understand the landscape and hopefully feel more confident navigating it.  I chat to Paul Feeney, founder and CEO of Otivo and someone who has spent years inside the advice industry. It’s a refreshingly honest take on where it works, where it falls short, and what everyday Australians can do about it. The reality is that quality personalised advice has historically been more accessible to people with significant assets, leaving many everyday Australians without affordable guidance at the very moment they need it most. We dig into the real difference between information, guidance and advice, because these words get thrown around a lot and they don't mean the same thing. Information educates, guidance helps, and regulated advice is personalised to your exact situation. We also explore the use of AI for advice. These tools are genuinely useful for exploring ideas, stress-testing thinking and preparing smart questions before you see an adviser or call your super fund.
