What do financial counseling, professional wrestling, and Hugh Jackman all have in common? Human connection. In this episode of Real Money, Real Experts, we sit down with international keynote speaker, author, and broadcaster Riaz Meghji to talk about why every conversation counts. With over 10,000 interviews under his belt—from celebrities to changemakers—Riaz has seen firsthand the power of meaningful dialogue. He shares how valuable vulnerability, curiosity over correction, and a beginner’s mindset can strengthen relationships and transform the way we connect with clients. We also explore the role of storytelling in financial counseling, why human connection matters more than ever in an age of polarization, and how financial professionals can make every conversation extraordinary.Show Notes: 02:00 The Fun Fact That Started It All05:26 From Finance to Human Connection08:12 Embracing the Beginner’s Mindset10:21 The Power of Co-Creation14:21 Value-Added Vulnerability23:25 Vulnerability vs. Oversharing24:14 Riaz's 2 CentsShow Note Links:Connect with Riaz on Linkedin!Connect with Riaz on Instagram!Want to get involved with AFCPE®?Here are a few places to start: Become a Member, Sign up for an Essentials Course, or Get AFC Certified today!
