“I am a big fan of all four of these gents. This podcast is a hugely valuable resource for every adviser at any stage of their journey. I also know clients that listen to it and gain a huge amount of value. Even funnier when watched on YouTube.”

“This show is an ESSENTIAL listen for all advisers who care about real financial planning from the very best in the profession.
Hugely grateful to you all taking your time out to share your knowledge and experience. Each episode is more valuable than all the NAAC-filled conferences combined....”Read full review »

“I've just finished listening to episode 42 in the car, and since you always ask for reviews, I thought, "Well, it's Easter weekend, I might as well write one."
Good Points:
The dynamic between the four guys is amazing, but it would be nice to hear another woman's voice...”Read full review »

“As an adviser in Singapore, the pod provides extremely refreshing content compared to the normal, backwards-looking industry subject matter. I’ve passed it on to other advisers as an example of a better way to give planning advice.

“I’m 25 years old and have been advising for a year and a half now with a great company that does full fat financial planning (in Nick’s words).
I love the podcast, not just because of the ‘banter’ between you all, but because of the nuggets of knowledge you can take away. It helps me a lot...”Read full review »

“Congratulations! 12 months late, but the honesty now about SJP. It wasn’t ever about how high the charges are/were. But that their “fees” are commission by another name on the pension and bond wrapper. The front end loading of adviser remuneration has driven the lack of on-going servicing. Hence...”Read full review »

“When I first heard about TRAP, knowing Andy and Nick and having met Alan I thought “OMG this’ll be a large dose of The Ego Has Landed!” And to a certain extent the banter and sometimes arguments that spill over do lean in that direction. But it’s humour and that’s a large part of the appeal...”Read full review »

“Nobody should be paying 1-1.5% for this bog standard boglehead advice. Nor should they be paying for “hand holding”. These guys never mention investment risk management and appear to have forgotten Buffet’s golden rule “don’t lose money”.”
