Pinnacle Adviser Alwyn van Staden recently joined the Financial Planner Life podcast with Sam Oakes, where he shared his journey into the profession and the perspective he brings to client relationships.

There are many paths into financial advice, and those experiences often shape how advice is delivered. Coming from a technical investment background, Alwyn is always able to explain complex financial strategies in a clear, straightforward and unintimidating way.

Alongside his client work, Alwyn also supports the development of new Advisers through the Pinnacle Academy, sharing his expertise to help the next generation build confidence and capability.

The episode will be released soon and we’ll share it once it’s available.
