  • How Advice Firms Prove Value and Grow Businesses That Buyers Can Trust, Paul & Colin, Silverback (#26)
    Mar 17 2026

    Exit readiness is what you can show, not what you can say: fair value delivered consistently, with costs under control.

    In this episode of Sense of Identity, Paul and Adam are joined by Colin Sloss (Consultant) and Paul Miles (Principal) from Silverback Consultancy.

    Colin has over 30 years of experience across wealth management and adviser technology, and Paul focuses on making advice businesses simpler, more efficient, and exit-ready.

    They discuss what that looks like for the intermediaries they work with, focusing on the operating model, the evidence, and how reliably the firm delivers outcomes.

  • The Pensions Data Crisis: Mortality Manifest on Accuracy and Trust, Sam & David, Mortality Manifest (#25)
    Dec 16 2025

    Pensions run on data, and it's vital to make sure that data is robust enough to trust with people’s futures.

    In this Sense of Identity episode, we speak with Sam Drye, Managing Director, and David Rich, Chief Data Officer at Mortality Manifest, a specialist data service that helps financial organisations address the complex realities of mortality, tracing, and overseas members.

    Together, we explore why pensions data is under more pressure than ever, how poor records translate into real risk for schemes and savers, and what it takes to build a data strategy that can stand up to scrutiny.

  • From Pocket Money to Policy: Building Financial Fluency For The UK, Leon Ward, Money Ready (#24)
    Dec 2 2025

    Most of us left school knowing more about Pythagoras than payslips - and we are still living with the consequences.

    In this episode of A Sense of Identity, we speak with Leon Ward, CEO of Money Ready, a charity working across classrooms, youth clubs, and workplaces to help people build practical financial skills.

    Leon talks about what compulsory financial education could mean for England, why teachers will need as much support as pupils, and how to help a generation growing up contactless, online, and targeted by everything from influencers to in-game spending nudges.
