Pepper Money has launched the fourth season of The Specialist, its podcast for mortgage intermediaries.
The latest season, hosted by Rob Barnard, intermediary relationship director at Pepper Money, will feature a variety of special guests discussing their experiences and critical topics, with a consistent theme throughout the season being personal motivation and the importance of mental health.
The first episode, out now, features Emma Jones, founder of Alder Rose Mortgage Services and When The Bank Says No, who talks about what it’s like to be running a growing specialist mortgage broker firms.
The second episode will feature Jason Berry from Crystal Specialist Finance, who talks about his role in the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) and why it’s so important that we focus on mental health. Future episodes include Matt Tristram from The Loans Warehouse talking about second charge lending and industry recruitment expert Pete Gwilliam providing insights into how to advance a career in mortgages.
The Specialist podcast is available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Barnard (pictured) said: “The Specialist podcast is now into its fourth season and continues to go from strength to strength. Episodes are short and punchy, informal but very informative – and in this season we have a real focus on personal motivation and mental health. Arguably, this has never been more important.
“According to findings from the MIMHC, only 7% of brokers regularly get a minimum of seven hours of sleep, 46% work more than 45 hours per week, and 15% work more than 60 hours per week.
“It’s always been my mission to keep the podcast relevant and helpful, talking about real topics that are pertinent to brokers, and season four of The Specialist is no exception.”
