In the first of our summer specials, we’re joined by Dr. Daniel Crosby - psychologist, behavioural finance expert, and author of The Soul of Wealth.

Daniel’s work invites us to rethink wealth not as a number, but as something deeply connected to our values, our behaviour, and our vision of a meaningful life.

We explore:

• Why we often know the right thing to do with money, but still don’t do it

• The hidden power of “Enough is a decision”

• Why women often outperform men as investors

• How the PERMA model helps us plan for fulfilment, not just freedom

• The small wins that make delayed gratification easier

• Why vulnerability could be an advisor’s greatest strength

Whether you’re building your financial future or helping others plan theirs, this episode is packed with insight, warmth, and actionable ideas.

In this season finale of The Century Plan, we wrap up our exploration of what often holds people back from engaging in financial planning. Throughout this season, we've tackled several common barriers and uncovered ways to overcome them. Here are some key factors we discussed:

• Difficulty connecting with our future selves: Many people struggle to envision their future and prioritise present desires over long-term goals.
• Perfectionism: The fear of making the "wrong" decision or not having all the perfect information can prevent action.
• Lack of time: We explored whether people truly don't have time for financial planning or if procrastination is the real issue.
• Decision overwhelm: With so many options available, the inability to make decisions can lead to inaction.
• Not knowing where to start: Financial planning can feel like a huge, overwhelming task, and not knowing where to begin stops many from taking action. We give you five actionable steps to help.
• Emotional barriers: Past financial mistakes or the emotional attachment to money can prevent people from taking the next step.
• Cost concerns: Many people hesitate to invest in financial planning due to concerns over cost, despite the potential for long-term savings.

If any of these resonate with you, you're not alone. Tune into this episode for a recap of the season and tips on how to get started with your own financial planning journey.

In this episode, Sarah throws out a challenge to Dennis: Is financial planning actually worth it?

Is she about to regret her question!?

But it has to be addressed, because there are some who think it’s a waste of time—believing pensions won’t be there when they retire, their business or property will fund everything, or they’ll just keep working. But are these assumptions really true?

In our latest episode of The Century Plan, we tackle the common myths that stop people from planning for their future. Financial planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about making sure you have real choices later in life.

Listen now and find out why planning is worth it.
