124 Meet Pete Matthew - the ultimate personal finance guru

The Retirement Café Podcast

If you are a fan of money-related podcasts or video blogs, you may know of this week’s guest already – it’s none other than Pete Matthew.

From flipping burgers in McDonalds to becoming Managing Director of Jackson’s Wealth Management, Pete followed a fairly classic career path. Until he started messing around with a video camera.

Knowing that the work he was doing with his clients at Jackson Wealth Management wasn’t making the impact on the universe that he wanted to make, Pete sat on the beach talking to his camera and posted the video on YouTube.

A decade later, he is now host of the award-winning podcast Meaningful Money – a podcast dedicated to helping anyone get their finances in order.

With the success of the podcast and YouTube channel, Pete has set up an online academy – The Meaningful Academy – which teaches you everything you need to, and should, know about money.

Pete joins me today to discuss what motivates him to run Meaningful Money, and why he believes everyone is capable of investing. We also delve into his recent retirement planning series, discussing why retirement planning is so important and the steps everyone should take when thinking about their retirement.
