Techlink in Conversation Podcast – Research Series - Episode 65 – Kelly Mills and Eddie Grant discuss

Eddie Grant chats to Financial Planner, Kelly Mills about her insightful research about goal setting for young adults and their reluctance to seek professional advice.

In this episode of the TechLink in Conversation, host Eddie Grant interviews Kelly Mills, who discusses her 2023 dissertation on young adults' financial goals and their reluctance to seek professional advice. Key findings include a common goal among interviewees to purchase a house, yet a general hesitance to consult financial advisors. The research highlights a perceived inaccessibility of financial advice, with many believing it's tailored for the wealthy, middle-aged demographic, despite recognising its universal benefit. Kelly suggests the potential for more extensive future research to explore the impact of expert financial advice on achieving such goals more effectively.

Techlink in Conversation Podcast – Episode 62 – Research Series – Simon Neville, Business Exits

Eddie Grant in conversation with Simon Neville who discusses his recent MBA research on ““a critical analysis of the effectiveness and influence of financial advisers working with entrepreneurs on business exits”

The research establishes three key themes that influence this:

  1. The entrepreneurs' mindset when it comes to managing their finances.
  2. A demonstrable lack of knowledge and uptake of financial solutions that could enhance financial outcomes by entrepreneurs.
