Hello and welcome to the Growth Workshop Podcast with your hosts, me, Matt Best, and Jonny Adams.

In this podcast, we'll be sharing insights from our combined 30 plus years experience and hearing from other industry leaders to get their thoughts and perspectives on what growth looks like in modern business.

We'll cover all aspects of leadership, sales, account development, and customer success, alongside other critical elements required to build an effective growth engine for your business.

This podcast is aimed at leaders from exec all the way down to line managers.

Welcome back to the Growth Workshop podcast with myself, Matt Best, and Jonny Adams, and continued discussion with Jonathan Tweedy from RBC Brew and Dolphin.

Jonny, I had a cool conversation with one of those US firms just around what the government in the US are mandating in terms of its benefits and things that need to be in place.

You talk about corporates and the regulator.

So corporate...

What are some of the things, and I know we're going to potentially open some cans of worms, but for me, there's a couple of things here.

There's a bit of a kind of mandating what the future needs to look like.

There's going to need to be some policy that helps drive that forward, but there also needs to be that sort of willingness.

Which of those things do you think is going to happen fastest?

Do you think it'll be corporate saying, you know what, this is a sufficient benefit for our employee base that actually we're going to provide a service that helps financial health of our employees?

Or do you think it's more likely that the government will do something first?

I'd like to go back, Jonathan, you mentioned something about providing advice and the story you told about your son and how what you were sharing with him or what he was seeing didn't feel relevant or appropriate to him.

The other thing, of course, in all of this is where technology can help support and reach in that market because we can't wait for this educational change to happen at school level because otherwise we're 50 years away from the problem.

We've got to find a way to reach those students.

soon to be retirees or soon to inherit wealth and we've got to be able to reach those who are coming into that you know 18 early 20s or even in their um you know in in a sort of later stage of life so what's your view on how technology and perhaps even ai can help reach well help help make make your business or this industry's business is more effective but then also help reach this um this audience better

Brilliant.

Jonathan, thank you.
