That’s what I asked Tom Hegarty in the latest episode of  In The Know  - a follow-up to the post that sparked so much debate. We covered: 📉 Adviser numbers – real growth, or just a pause before the cliff edge? 🔁 Why firms keep hiring experience but won’t back new talent 🧱 The power of apprenticeships and why more firms must engage 💬 How to shift short-term mindsets in firm leadership 🪄 And Tom’s magic wand moment Do you agree with Tom? Are you as optimistic or is this just the beginning of the end? Hosted on Acast.
