Ep04 ” A New Hope with Noel D’Souzsa” – where we discussed the term ‘money coach’ being a synonym for “financial fairy god-mother”… among other things.
Ep14 “Why You (Yes You) Should Care About How Financial Advice is Regulated” in a rousing discussion with the panel and John Robertson, PhD about how financial advice is regulated and if the government is doing enough.

This week were joined by special guest Noel D’Souza. In case you are wondering… it’s pronounced “Know-ell”… now you know.
What we discussed
Lots on the agenda, conversation included the following:
- Does my mother need a fee-only financial planner?
- What the mutual fund industry isn’t telling you!
- Public perception of fee-only planners vs. the commission advisor model vs. the fairy godmother planner
- Potential changes to disclosure requirements
- What does a money coach do
If there is something you would like covered, watch the show live every Wednesday night and join the conversation on twitter using the #becausemoney hashtag.
Here is a promo poster for the event that Sandi put together!



Good show guys, love the poster Sandi!
I agree with “Know-ell” I have been called “my financial quarter back” “personal trainer” and money coach. I find a large part of this role is keeping people on track , life is busy and things fall off the radar. I stop procrastination. Clients know emails titled “helpful; reminder ” mean scoot, get into gear!
