It's All Relative with Dr Eliza Filby

Baby Millionaires | Why Parents Are Saving for Their Kids’ Pensions | It's All Relative | Dr Eliza Filby

More parents than ever are opening pensions for their children, but this trend isn't really about retirement. It's about how families are adapting to an increasingly uncertain economy.In this episode of It's All Relative, I explore one of the fastest-growing financial trends you've probably never thought much about: parents and grandparents setting up pensions for children from birth.At first glance, it sounds strange. Why would you start saving for someone's retirement before they've even started school?But I don't think the rise of child pensions is really about pensions at all.It's about how parents are thinking differently about security, inheritance and opportunity in a world where housing is unaffordable, university is expensive, careers are uncertain, and retirement keeps moving further away.As families become less confident that they'll be able to hand over a house deposit, pay university fees or leave a substantial inheritance, they're increasingly turning to the one advantage every child has: time.🔔 SUBSCRIBEIf you enjoy conversations about generations, work, wealth, technology, family and the future of society, subscribe for a new episode every week.📚 BUY MY BOOK – INHERITOCRACYInheritocracy: It's Time to Talk About the Bank of Mum and Dad––––––––––––––––––📩 SUBSCRIBE TO MY SUBSTACKWeekly essays exploring generations, work, wealth, AI, family, parenting and the future.––––––––––––––––––🌍 FOLLOW MEWebsiteLinkedInInstagram

Career Advice Nobody Tells You | Freedom, Agility & Uncertainty | It's All Relative

The future of work is changing. Entrepreneurship, AI, portfolio careers, career advice, Gen Z, millennials, small business, financial resilience, purpose, and freedom are reshaping what a successful career looks like. In this episode, I reflect on my own journey from academia to building a business, and the career advice that completely changed my life.When I was in my thirties, someone gave me a piece of advice I've never forgotten: talk to people five to seven years ahead of you, not twenty. It transformed how I thought about my career, why I left academia, and ultimately how I built the business I run today.This isn't a "how to become an entrepreneur" video. In fact, I'm deeply sceptical of hustle culture, the glorification of entrepreneurship, and the endless LinkedIn clichés about success.Instead, this is an honest reflection on what it takes to build a career in an age where the old scripts no longer work.🔔FOLLOWIf you enjoy conversations about generations, work, wealth, technology and the future of society, follow for a new episode every week.📚 BUY MY BOOK – INHERITOCRACYInheritocracy: It's Time to Talk About the Bank of Mum and Dad📩 SUBSCRIBE TO MY SUBSTACKWeekly essays on generations, work, wealth, culture and the future.🌍 WHERE TO FIND MEWebsiteLinkedInInstagram

Capitalism Is Not Free Market | Grace Blakeley Explains Why | It's All Relative

The defining political emotion of the 21st century is powerlessness, says Grace Blakeley who I sat down with on this episode. Capitalism, inequality, stagnant wages, the housing crisis, Gen Z, millennials, entrepreneurship, AI, social mobility, and the future of work are all colliding in ways that are reshaping how we live, work, and think about our future.If capitalism won, why do so many people feel like they're losing? Grace argues that capitalism was never quite the free-market system we were promised. Instead, she suggests we live in an age of concentrated power, monopoly, political influence, and growing inequality. Together, we unpack how this affects everything from education and homeownership to entrepreneurship, community, social mobility, and our sense of freedom itself.🔔 FOLLOWIf you enjoy conversations about generations, wealth, work, demographics, technology, and social change, follow It's All Relative on Spotify and join me every week on It's All Relative.📩 SUBSCRIBE TO MY SUBSTACKWeekly essays and analysis on generations, work, wealth, and social change🌍 FIND ME ONLINEWebsiteLinkedInInstagram
