The Modern Day Midlife Crisis

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Episode 8 of the podcast!This week, we're joined by Neil, a good friend of Rishi's and a former colleague from their days working together at Capita. But while many people talk about making the leap from corporate life to entrepreneurship, Neil actually did it.Not long after Rishi left Capita, Neil followed a very different path, teaming up with his brother and two of his brother's colleagues to launch a wealth management business. The challenge? Neil came from an accounting background and had virtually no experience in wealth management. For the first 6 to 12 months, his full-time job was essentially studying, taking exams, and learning everything he needed to succeed in a completely new industry.Fast forward six years, and what started from scratch has grown into a thriving business managing around £250 million in assets, with no signs of slowing down.In this episode, we talk about the realities of building a business from the ground up, the steep learning curve of changing careers, and the huge contrast between life inside a corporate giant like Capita and the freedom that comes with creating your own culture, values, and way of working.It's a fascinating conversation about risk, growth, resilience, and what can happen when you back yourself and take the leap.

Send us Fan MailAfter a short break over the Christmas and New year holidays, Loz and Rishi pick up on the topic of new years resolutions and that general new years feeling of making a fresh start to create positive action in January.

Send us Fan MailIn episode 3 we talk about what goes through our heads as we come to the end of a year and the start of a new one. How a new years resolution may start as just that, often targeted at fixing what may be considered a crisis..e.g. .excessive weight gain, lack of fitness, poor life choices and grow into something more. This is a time for reflexion and often a bit of time to think about the changes we may want to make in our lives. so join us as we explore the components of the festive season over a mice pie and mulled wine.
