In this bonus episode, Bex interviews Simon about his own faith and finance journey, including the values and principles that have underpinned the creation and development of his business, Stewardship Wealth.

Some key points covered in this episode include the following:

• Simon describes an incident that triggered his appreciation of the power of generosity [01:38] and goes on to talk about various other factors that shaped his thinking about why we might want to cultivate the habit of giving some of our money away. [03:18]
• Prioritising giving money away and exploring what it means to give sacrificially were two themes that came to the fore for Simon when moving on from being a student to the world of paid employment. [06:00]
• Simon outlines the steps and experiences that led him to conclude that God was prompting him to start up his own business. [11:43]
• Simon identifies three key values [16:34] and six big goals [18:28] that he feels have been the hallmark of his business and have distinguished it from other financial planning companies.
• In response to a question from Bex, Simon provides some headline advice for anyone interested in following in his footsteps by setting up a generosity-inspired business venture of their own. [22:52]
• In his concluding remarks, Simon encourages each of us to make a priority of identifying the unique skills and abilities that God has given us and also the individual passions that He has put within our hearts. That will then provide a great platform for us to serve God’s purposes in an individually fulfilling and distinctive manner. [25:02]
• Next up will be a second bonus episode, explaining the intricacies of the HMRC Tax Return, which will then be followed by Season 5, on the theme of Giving, which will commence in early September. [27:25]
