#36: Risk specialist and Olympian Scott Dawes March 19, 2019

Today special guest Scott Dawes takes us on his journey from representing Australia in the 1996 Olympics, to the significant events in his life which led him to becoming a specialist risk adviser.

Scott is a trusted adviser who helps clients protect wealth through life insurance, TPD, trauma and income protection insurance.  Protecting against injury, illness and death is a key part of any sensible lending strategy, and so this is an important episode particularly for all listeners who have taken on debt.

We discuss the following:

  • Scott’s background and his greatest highlight representing Australia in the Olympics
  • The background to Australia’s under-insurance problem, and why it often pays to take a more proactive approach
  • Key junctures where people should at least review their existing cover, and understand what options are available to them
  • Why the cover many people have in their super funds my be outdated or inadequate
  • Why consumer advocacy is most critical at claims time
  • Working with an experienced broker, vs. going ‘direct’ – the pros and cons

Thanks for tuning in, and enjoy the show!
