In this episode of the Propulsion podcast, host Francois Du Toit interviews Amanda Dusse, the owner of a Liberty franchise specializing in financial planning.

The interview takes place during a Lean In vision board session, where Amanda discusses the benefits of creating a vision board and how it has helped her be more intentional in her thoughts and actions.
She also talks about the role of vision boards in her financial planning practice, including potentially using them to help clients with their financial planning.

Ep. 7 - Everything you want to know about running a fee-based practice with Arno Burger
PROpulsion LIVE
05/14/19 • 57 min
Arno Burger, CFP® started his practice as a young, 25-year old in a flatlet at the back of his house in 1992. His clear vision and strong work-ethic quickly got him to move to bigger offices.
In 1994 he started charging fees, and although it was by no means perfect, he pioneered the business model in South Africa in his own unique way.
We discuss what led him to make the change and the journey and learnings over the years and we get into detail about his model. We discuss setting prices, something that is a challenge for most financial planners.
Arno discusses the structure of the business, FIDIUS, and their intentional approach to ensure clients do business with FIDIUS and not the individuals in the business. We talk about the FIDIUS client experience, all the technology they employ and we get to know Arno a little better and find out how he gets away from the business when not working.

The Future of Money and Mindset with Charlotte Kemp
PROpulsion LIVE
03/15/25 • 31 min
In this episode of PROpulsion LIVE, we sit down with Charlotte Kemp, a futures thinking coach, to explore two key trends that are shaping the future of financial planning:
Binary vs Fluid Thinking – Do we see financial decisions as fixed or adaptable?
Scarcity vs Abundance – Do we operate from a place of limitation or opportunity?
These trends influence client behaviour, investment strategies, and how financial professionals position themselves for long-term success. Understanding them is key to helping clients make better decisions and ensuring your own practice stays ahead of industry shifts.
