TEBI podcast 42: Alex Davis on life planning, universities, and everything!

The Evidence-Based Investor

In the second of a series of 12 TEBI episodes looking at meaning and money during later careers or second lives, Jonathan Hollow interviews doctoral student (and student ambassador) Alex Davis. She talks about her previous career as a finance director, and how she made a challenging transition, after more than 20 years, from running a family business to becoming an expert on the Roman poet Ovid. She also talks about her part-time work as an outreach ambassador for the University of Kent, which gives her the chance to encourage students of all backgrounds to make the leap from school to university.

This podcast series has been developed with financial planning firm Mulberry Bow. Based in London, they offer a highly personalised service to around 150 individuals and families. Robin Powell and Jonathan Hollow are very grateful for their enthusiastic support for "Second Lives”.
