Thanks, Gemma.
It's good to be back.
Sure.
So my background has been in finance systems and consulting.
I recently spent 10 years in the Workday ecosystem, so working with medium to large enterprises to implement financial systems.
I was a consultant there and then as a people leader as well.
So
About three or four years ago, I discovered the Rask podcast and became aware of the Pocketsmith app and decided I should move off my spreadsheets, practice what I preach and move on to an app.
So I've been using Pocketsmith for about three and a half years now.
My initial focus with it was just spend tracking, but quickly realized it could do a lot more.
For me, I found it fairly natural to start using it, but I realised for someone without my background, it could be quite overwhelming.
So I had a conversation with Owen January last year and bounced an idea of starting a coaching business focused on sort of personal finance systems and Pocketsmith.
So since then, I wrapped up my career at Workday last year, took a bit of a break, and I've since launched my coaching business.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I've got them going back for quite a few years and, you know, I used to enjoy tweaking them and spending time in them.
But, you know, it's been a real sort of game changer moving on to an app to replace them.
So a lot of people have come to me who are existing Pocketsmith users and I think sort of like the tool but are overwhelmed with how to best use it, how to set it up right.
There is, which is great, but it can take some time to really get the value out of that.
So my...
The way I help is getting them to a position much quicker where they're getting good data, getting data that they can use for decisions much quicker than if they did that on their own.
