In fact. It could be the case that people…real people, are not here at all. AI has allowed us to produce content at a rate of knots that would not have been possible 5 years ago. And it seems like everybody has jumped on board. I saw a LinkedIn post the other day. It was telling a story, obviously written by AI. Em dashes everywhere. Phrases like ‘the truth of it is’ and ‘in today’s fast paced world’. There was nothing wrong with...]]></description><link>https://www.bengrahamnellor.com/post/ai-is-not-a-replacement-for-a-personality</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a54a04e91ff44a595393b69</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 08:25:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e516a9_f27b4ec423f5461bb78b4ac215c40820~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_696,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Graham-Nellor</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is Splitting Bills 50/50 Ruining Good Relationships?]]></title><description><![CDATA[I hooked up with Steph when I was 18. We were both in high school, and neither of us had any money. We married a few years later and our money has always been combined. So we never really had to face the question of who pays the bill, because we pay the bill. But for many people dating is alive and well. Tinder, Bumble, Grindr, all the apps getting people together for meals (and other activities). How do you figure out who should pay? Let’s look at an example and work it out together. Matt...]]></description><link>https://www.bengrahamnellor.com/post/is-splitting-bills-50-50-ruining-good-relationships</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a505231661479e527e02d63</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2026 02:06:21 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e516a9_8b2c263ff6b24b4d96957739559e2f56~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Graham-Nellor</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The client who needs us most is the client we’ve made hardest to reach.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ask any financial adviser how their fees have changed in the last five years, and you already know the answer before they say it. Up. Substantially up. The median adviser fee in Australia now sits at $3,960 a year. That is a rise of 58 per cent in five years. A comprehensive Statement of Advice, the document that used to be the entry point into our profession, now commonly costs between $3,500 and $6,500. The Financial Services Council itself has said the cost of advice has climbed past...]]></description><link>https://www.bengrahamnellor.com/post/living-well-money-as-a-tool-for-meaning</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4a1e82f7b480551f11aac5</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:06:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e516a9_cbd63e45fec249dc80181e2194bd192c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_910,h_506,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Graham-Nellor</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Building an Inclusive Business Isn't a Marketing Strategy]]></title><description><![CDATA[I am a white, middle-aged man in financial advice. So is most of the room at every industry conference and event I've walked into this year. Same suits, same haircuts, same well-meaning nods when someone mentions diversity from the stage.  (To be fair, I never wear a suit)  I'm not saying that to be self-deprecating. It's just the maths of our profession right now. And it's exactly why I think inclusion is one of the most underused business advantages available to advisers today. The comfort...]]></description><link>https://www.bengrahamnellor.com/post/the-role-of-generosity-in-personal-wealth-building</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4a1e80fa58f0a255d3da6f</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:06:08 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e516a9_104cc01e2128472394a16cf47962ca76~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_672,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Graham-Nellor</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Grey Space of Business Ownership]]></title><description><![CDATA[Running a business looks great from the outside. You set your own hours. You build something that's yours. You get to make the calls. That's all true. But it's also only half the story. What people don't see is the Tuesday afternoon where nothing has gone wrong exactly, but nothing feels right either. A client who's gone quiet. A number that doesn't add up the way you wanted it to. A decision you made six months ago that you're now not sure about. Nobody warns you that most of business...]]></description><link>https://www.bengrahamnellor.com/post/aligning-wealth-with-values-a-guide</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4a1e7dfa58f0a255d3da63</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:06:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e516a9_6b1f4a249e20470a8ccc9a13e6154de5~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ben Graham-Nellor</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
