In this episode of ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐, Kelsey is joined by recognised Life Insurance Subject Matter Expert, Mark Everingham (Managing Director and Founder of Personal Risk Professionals).
Personal insurance is often misunderstood, overlooked, or put on the "I'll deal with it later" list. In this episode, we challenge some of the most common misconceptions about personal insurance, discuss how changing industry pricing models and pricing volatility are impacting policyholders, and explore what these shifts mean for individuals and families seeking financial security.
We unpack one of the most important questions in financial planning: When should you start thinking about personal insurance? From major life events to career progression and family responsibilities, we examine the key moments that should trigger a review of your cover and why regularly revisiting your policy is just as important as taking it out in the first place.
The conversation also focuses on the three critical pillars of managing financial uncertainty: managing debt, protecting ongoing income, and maintaining adequate contingency funding. Together, these foundations can help create a more resilient financial future and provide confidence when life doesn't go according to plan.
Whether you're reviewing existing cover, considering insurance for the first time, or looking to better understand the evolving insurance landscape, this episode offers practical insights to help you make informed decisions and protect what matters most.

26 min
In this episode of ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐, Teneale is joined by Financial Adviser and Alman Partners business owner, Jason Kirk, to unpack the realities of running a small business in Australia.
With 98% of Australian businesses falling into the SME categoryโand many owners sacrificing a salary in the early yearsโJason explores how financial advice for business owners differs from that for individuals. He explains why effective advice comes down to sequencing risk: understanding what to prioritise, what to put on hold, and what to avoid altogether.
They also dive into the strong link between personal and business finances, and the value of a well-rounded professional networkโespecially collaborating closely with accountantsโto achieve better client outcomes.
Jason shares his perspective on the right time for business owners to seek financial advice, challenging the common mindset of waiting until โlater.โ
Whether youโre launching a start-up or managing an established SME, this episode delivers practical insights to help you make smarter financial decisions at every stage.
