In this episode I chat to Holly Mackay, finance and investment expert, and founder and Managing Director of Boring Money.  She talks about her mission to democratise finance and the opportunity costs of being an entrepreneur and mother to two young children.

Our conversation covers her love for language and desire to banish financial gobbledygook. The sacrifices of an entrepreneur.  How covid has been a ‘feast or famine’ for many. Her crush on Mark Carney and the risk of not thinking sustainably when investing. And we philosophise around the purpose of money, what really matters and how emotions trump rational thinking when making lifestyle decisions.

Finally Holly shares her best money purchase for around £30 (or in Holly’s case a tad more!) and her Money Pearls of Wisdom.

Sit back, grab yourself an espresso (or drink of your choice!) and enjoy the conversation.

Holly Mackay – A Hippy in a capitalist’s body on a mission to democratise finance.

Tommy talks about life growing up as the son of a professional footballer and his early money and life lessons. We talk about his career in finance, both in the UK and Singapore, before becoming a Client Manager and Co-Leader of the London Team for Paradigm Norton. 

Tommy tells us about falling out of, and back in, love with Financial Planning.  He shares the wisdom he learned from his upbringing around money, the importance of stability and the simple pleasures in life.  We learn about how he and his wife are planning their financial future, managing expenditure drift and we debate the meaning of ‘enough’.

Finally, Tommy shares his best money purchase for around £30 (and the bittersweet experience of being an Evertonian!) and his Money Pearls of Wisdom.

Sit back, grab yourself an espresso (or drink of your choice!) and enjoy the conversation.
