Private financial community Octo Members Group sponsors The Practical Protection Podcast. The app-based community is dedicated to bringing financial professionals together, to share their knowledge and insights with one another. The network welcomes all financial professionals and has gained a strong following of advisers, fund managers, wealth managers and consultants, and now boasts almost 3000 members.

Octo is free to join and offers many hundreds of hours of CPD to members. Seeking out new sources of valued content, Octo has taken the step to sponsor and accredit the Practical Protection Podcast, with founder Kathryn Knowles.

Regularly joined by co-hosts Roy McLoughlin and Matt Rann, the episodes explore protection insurance, how to access it, how it is underwritten and how it can be a crucial part to a person’s long-term financial security.

“As a community conceived for practitioners by practitioners and dedicated to sharing actionable and educational content with the ambition of collective learning this is a very natural way for us to support the debate within financial planning.”

Quote from Lee Robertson, CEO and founder of Octo Members

“I am absolutely delighted that Lee and his team feel that the podcast is worth their sponsorship. Gaining accreditation of the podcast is a huge pat on the back, that shows that the messages we are putting out to industry, charities and the public, are useful. This step also means that financial professionals who listen to the podcast can feel confident that they are adding worthwhile CPD to their records”
