Welcome to the F* Word, presented by Legal News Wales & RBC Brewin Dolphin – a series of frank, honest & informative podcasts on one of today’s conversational taboos – Finance (see what we did there?)

If you’re someone like me who dreads thinking about long-term financial planning but loves to make plans for the future – is too afraid to ask obvious questions about money and needs a financial kickstart, then join me as I start on my own adventure to address the F* Word and use it to better my life with confidence.

I’m Emma Waddingham, Editor of Legal News Wales and in each episode I’ll be joined by a series of guests and our partner, RBC Brewin Dolphin, who will help me, and you, navigate Finance.

We’ll explore why we don’t talk about it enough, what on earth the current economic climate means to the vast majority of us, and how to take full control of your life and let money work hard for you, whatever your age, gender, income and mindset. I’m here to ask the stupid questions for you and make sure the conversations are down to earth, realistic and fun.

Episode 1: In this episode, Emma is joined by Greg Tait, Financial Planner, and Col Ellis, Development Specialist, both at RBC Brewin Dolphin, to explain why Finance is today's F* word, why most of us shy away from talking about it and what we can do to change this, to improve our lives, and the world around us.
