WealthTalk - money, wealth and personal finance.

Christian Rodwell and Kevin Whelan unpack the latest UK budget and what it means for business owners, property investors, and retirees. They break down the key tax changes, highlight what’s getting more restrictive, and share practical steps to help you protect your wealth and plan ahead without getting overwhelmed by all the new rules.

In this WealthTalk episode, Christian Rodwell and Kevin Whelan chat with Adrian Knight about how senior executives can successfully transition from full-time corporate roles into portfolio careers as non-executive directors (NEDs). Adrian shares his personal journey, the challenges and rewards of leaving the “golden cage” of corporate life, and how experienced leaders can use their skills to create multiple income streams, more freedom, and a renewed sense of purpose.

In this special WealthTalk episode, Christian Rodwell shares the replay of a live webinar with WealthBuilders founder Kevin Whelan and SSAS director Paul Brooks on the major inheritance tax (IHT) changes coming in April 2027. From that date, any unspent pension pots will be counted as part of your estate on death, potentially dragging many more families into the 40% IHT net. Kevin and Paul explain what’s changing, how it affects pensions, property and businesses, and the practical steps you can take now to protect your family from unnecessary tax.

In this episode of WealthTalk, Christian Rodwell and Kevin Whelan speak with property investor and Girls in Property founder, Athena Dobson. Athena shares how being furloughed during COVID pushed her to leave a successful travel career and build a life centred on property, recurring income and freedom. She explains her journey from a tough first deal and rent‑to‑rent HMOs/SA, through burnout and a major pivot, to a simpler buy‑to‑let strategy and a thriving female‑focused community and podcast. Athena also unpacks key lessons on when to invest in education, how to choose the right strategy for your resources and personality, and why health and defining your own version of success sit at the heart of true wealth.

In this episode of WealthTalk, Christian Rodwell and Kevin Whelan welcome back long-time WealthBuilders member and property expert Mike Hedgecox.

The episode explores the realities of building wealth with property, the importance of action, and the value of community and expert support.
