This week’s guest is Marcus Crowther of MWC group. Marcus is a young adviser based in sunny Malta, he talks to Elena about his career journey so far.

Marcus goes into detail about how he got into financial planning and, in true FPL style, really opens up about his thought processes, as well as his own mental health which has led him down the path he has chosen.

This is a fantastic episode for anyone who is looking to get into the profession, but also great for those who have ever felt like fear has stopped them from taking a career leap at any time in their lives. Marcus is a meticulous planner and a creature of habit, so he gives us some tried and tested tips which have helped him in his career thus far.

Marcus also talks us through his thoughts around going to university. He is a brilliant example of someone who is driven, successful and career-minded who chose not to go down the university route.
