How to Learn From Global Experts in #FinancialPlanning for Free with Adam Owen [Ep39]

Welcome to episode 39 of The Innovating Advice Show and to the first time-sensitive episode.

I’m joined by Adam Owen, Director at NextGen Planners in the UK and we are chatting about a great project we’ve been working called The Global Commute.


It’s a virtual, free, 30-minute show happening at 8:30am in every time zone around the world from 8:30am UK time on Monday, 22 June - 8:30am UK time on Tuesday, 23 June. So mark you calendars and you can tune in to one or many shows throughout the 24-hours.

We’ll be live-streaming on YouTube with guests from all around the world and we share a sneak peak at the amazing guest lineup in this episode.


We also chat about how The Global Commute came about and the virtual NextGen Conference happening all next week and open to advisers and planners around the world. And Adam shares the inspiring and innovative way that NextGen gets a lot of its conference speakers.
