What appeals to me about financial planning is that it's about the present and the future. And it's about relationships. Getting to know clients, understanding their lives beyond their financials."
One thing I hear often from clients is that they feel relaxed about money for the first time. They're actually enjoying it, rather than hoarding it. Which is how it should be. Money is a tool to do the things you want to do, see the places you want to see, and look after the people you love.
I have a sailing boat that I spend as much time on as I can with my family. I've also picked up wingfoiling recently, which has been a humbling experience. And I follow boxing, which is possibly the most frustrating sport to follow.

James Cook. I could do with some of his motivation to venture further afield! The sheer scale of what he accomplished is remarkable — the vast oceans he crossed, the coastlines he charted including the East Coast of Australia, New Zealand, and Alaska, and the navigational charts he produced that remained in use for over a century. On top of that, he effectively conquered scurvy among his crew and sailed further south than any explorer before him.

Mevagissey, a small fishing village on the Cornish coast in England. No major city has ever really called to me. My wife's grandfather lived here and we've visited a number of times — it's the kind of place that's simply impossible not to love. The harbour, the pace of life, the scenery — I'd move there tomorrow if I could.
