<p>There's no denying uncertainty within Financial Services is at an all-time high.

<p>Being a Financial Advisor is not all that different to being a cop, according to Shane Black of Pearl Financial that is.</p> <p>As an ex police officer, Shane uses behavioural psychology to help clients get in tune with what's actually important to them, rather than what they think should be important to them.</p> <p>He's a 'Masters of Applied Finance' graduate who switched from law enforcement to Financial Advice in 2012 and has been helping his client's kick their biggest financial and lifestyle goals ever since.

This led to his light bulb moment on a beach in October 2013 where B4 Real Estate (www.b4.com.au) was born; a piece of tech now being dubbed the 'Tinder of Real Estate'.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode is a deep dive and step by step discussion into the long and arduous, but rewarding journey of bringing a real-time property app to market. Drew reflects on things he would do differently and how he used an out-of-the-box marketing strategy to make noise in a market dominated by two giant players.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Support us on Patreon -</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/xyadviser"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.patreon.com/xyadviser</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join XY Adviser -</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.xyadviser.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.xyadviser.com</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">General Disclaimer -</span></p> <p><a href="https://www.xyadviser.com/disclaimer/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.xyadviser.com/disclaimer/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This podcast has been brought to you by Zurich Life & Investments (</span><a href= "http://www.zurich.com.au"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">www.zurich.com.au</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">), one of the last true independent life insurers in Australia.
