AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast by The Financial Bloke
Tune-in along with our 6,000-8,000 listeners each month for the Wealth & Wisdom!
The wisest among us will tell us that money and wealth are important, but alone they will not make you happy or your life a success. Success and happiness require wisdom and wisdom comes from cultivating a learning mind set, a strong drive to always do better and by surrounding yourself with people who can teach or inspire you.
Ben Law spent over 20-years working with successful business owners and farming families which allowed him to unearth the timeless principles on how to successfully grow, protect and maintain wealth. Now he has decided to hang up his financial adviser boots, hand over the reins of his award-winning financial advice practice and become The Financial Bloke so he can help share the wealth and wisdom with you via The AgriCoach Podcast.
Each fortnight Ben will be joined by guests from varying backgrounds, each with an interesting story or experience or a specialist financial knowledge you and your family need to know.
So if you want to learn the principles of how to grow your family’s wealth throughout the generations join The Financial Bloke each fortnight for more Wealth & Wisdom!
