    Thank you for sharing! I have had a very similar career progression within the investment firm I'm with in 5.5 years, and I'm always excited to watch these interviews and learn from others. This one hit close to home as I can see my own career progression in her story. I also enjoyed hearing more of her admin/paraplanner role. So many podcasts highlight the financial advisors, and though extremely valuable, it's so valuable to promote and highlight those who are in supporting roles as well. There are also not enough books in the financial services support or leadership roles. It takes everyone in every role working in alignment to see results.

Great Paraplanners are like gold dust and a lot of employers will be hesitant to let them move up to advice- giving them the hassle of trying to replace the PP.

Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire without any investment.

This whole time I have been in contact with the SJP academy, and everyone I have been in contact with from the recruitment manager (Matin) to the partners have been brilliant. Unlike Natasha Percy Baxter I am opting for the employed route via the academy, but it's great to hear that the same type of things I find daunting and feel anxious about, Natasha and others did as well when they were starting out. As Natasha says, it's about being willing to push yourself in order to expand your comfort zone- I am willing to do that.

    Wonderful podcast, I can't really put into words how helpful and encouraging this is. There is so much to take away from this podcast and it has given me a new set of objectives to work on to make a success out of my own path to becoming an IFA/FA. On a side note something that hit me quite hard is when you were talking about recruiters having the mindset of "if you are not good enough for us we are not going to help you". I have experienced that in my earlier years and was literally told "Don't call us we will call you" in a sarcastic and patronising tone in an early interaction with recruitment agencies in the early 00's. Thankfully now I am established in my current career I have people jumping on trains and taking me out for coffees seeing if they can help recruit people into my team and even if I would be interested in moving on. However the work you are doing to bridge that gap and help people realise their own potential and also help recruiters realise that people are brilliant and with a bit of support and guidance they can achieve great things! You are really doing great things with the FP and Recruit UK brand!
