Why are we 'doing it together'?
This program is being run ‘synchronously’ which means we all do it together, working through the program of content week-by-week, over a six week period. I think this makes the course easier to digest, and much more entertaining - which, let’s face it, is important when we’re talking about money, planning and the life ahead.
The pre-recorded content and associated workbook for the week drops on a Monday morning. Once per week we will be hosting live Q&A sessions with our really special guests who can help to bring the whole course to life for you.

At the start of this course and with not much super I had little confidence for our epic retirement. But now having gone through the financial lessons and already had 1 financial planner meeting am now feeling confident that even with our amount of super we can still make it EPIC.

This course has been absolutely amazing I have learned so much. I now know what I need to put in place for the future. I feel very excited for my Epic Retirement years ahead.
