This September I’ll be taking on the Thames Bridges Trek to raise money for @Petalscharity. On this morning’s training walk I shared a bit more about what they do. Links to this charity and my JustGiving page can be found here - linktr.ee/danatkinsonuk

Professional Paraplanner Awards 2024 – The Paraplanner Winners! professionalparaplanner.co.uk/professional-p…

@ProfParaplanner A huge honour to receive this award

@GWRHelp @GWRHelp a bit of communication would help… We haven’t even left and are already 90 mins late. Train crew were told the line has reopened a while ago & are still waiting for permission to proceed (perhaps the signaller could tell them what to expect?)

@GWRHelp Is there any update? We are sat at Bristol Temple Meads on the 1500 to London Paddington…

@BenjaminFabi That’s the one (and will be fixed)👍🏻 I’ve not read up hugely on the precommencement pensions as we’ve not had clients impacted. @LesCameron7 might have a view?

@BenjaminFabi Welcome back fellow pension geek! It is a bit of a shambles in some of these areas. I’ve described it all as being quite straightforward- right up until the moment when it is VERY much NOT! To me the age75 issues relating to LSA are more impactful… Hopefully being fixed soon…

@behaviorgap Another great conversation

I'm bursting with excitement because the latest episode of 50 Fires went live today! 🔥 This time, I had the absolute joy of chatting with my oldest daughter, Lindsay. I didn't come to teach... I came to learn. My main goal was to understand Lindsay's journey. What was it like growing up with me? How did our family dynamics shape her relationship with money? What could we have done better? Lindsay's responses blew me away. It's a conversation you won't want to miss! Tune in to 50 Fires on your favorite podcast platform, and let me know what you think. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/car… 📲 You can drop me an email at hello@behaviorgap.com to let me know. Cheers, my friends!

@fryer_nathan @plan_works All the best for your challenges. A super way to celebrate that milestone 👍🏻

Today was the first of my 10 challenges over 10 months to celebrate 10 years of the business @plan_works the first challenge was to run 10k which I haven’t done in over 2 years. If you like to sponsor me or get more information about the challenges see here

@fryer_nathan @Transact …and they actually answer the questions!

Sent @Transact platform due diligence questionnaire late yesterday evening and it’s back this morning. If only all platforms could offer that level of transparency and co-operation.

@jeremywalter If having a bar/wheel is important maybe pair with a Streamdeck (they have one with knobs). I have a streamdeck for my work shortcuts etc.

@jeremywalter I like my Logitech MX Keys (paired with my MX Master 3 mouse). Works well on PC (for work) and Mac (for home!). It also has a number pad which is sooo much better than the laptop keyboard (tempted to get a second one for travel) Might be worth trying?

Alright... taking a shot here. Anyone have any good keyboard recommendations for a PC? I've spent an absurd amount of time researching and trying them out. I want a full size, high quality keyboard that has quiet keystrokes, media controls (specifically volume bar), is well made, and is backlit. RGB lighting a bonus but not required. Not a gamer, but I have a gaming setup for higher performance and speed. Don't care if it's wired or wireless. I've purchased and returned the following: Steelseries Apex 3 (loved the function and noise level, but kept crashing and required a manual unplug) JLab Wireless Scissor (too small, keypad also funky layout) Corsair K70 Pro (love the layout and feel, but keys are way too loud). Help! This shouldn't be as hard as it seems to be.

If this sounds interesting for your next step as a #paraplanner and you are #Bristol based head over to paradigmnorton.co.uk/financial-plan… for more info. Happy to have a chat if helpful 👍🏻

Fancy a new challenge in the Bristol area? @paradigmnorton are looking for a #paraplanner to work closely with one of our Directors. ✅Complex clients ✅Exam support to Chartered & beyond ✅Leading financial planning firm Details coming soon or DM #bcorp #financialplanning

Looking forward to Humans Under Management today

Start now. Optimize later. Imperfect starts can always be improved. Obsessing over a perfect plan will never take you anywhere on its own.

@theactualpolson I would definitely be there. ERI and is something I am painfully familiar with. Almost as geeky as the treatment of Tax Transparent funds… Sadly diary clash means I’ll have to miss out on #geek&eat

Come have breakfast with me and FSL next Thursday? We're getting our geek on and diving deep into Excess Reportable Income on offshore funds. It'll be fun. Lovely venue, nice #bacon and, I dunno, vegetarian stuff, good techy chat. Book on here: tickettailor.com/events/thelang…

At @paradigmnorton we’ve been thinking about the concept of #unreasonablehospitality that @wguidara talks about. This thread is filled with inspiration!

‘What is the listening I am speaking into?’ This phrase stopped me in my tracks when I heard it on this episode. Listen, reflect, and tailor. Get this in your ears ASAP!
