At like minds, we understand that people are unique, with different backgrounds and life experiences. The stuff we communicate about – like pensions, benefits, and money – can be complex and sensitive too.
It would be easier for us to avoid these complexities, but that’s not our style. Instead, we put people at the heart of what we do, making things like pensions and money stress-free and easy for everyone to navigate.
Talk to the Elephant tackles the topics and issues we encounter along the way - things that we might not naturally talk about or shy away from as an industry.
We’re not perfect, and this podcast is about learning, sharing inspiration and ideas. Why? Because we believe it could have a real impact on peoples’ lives and ensure that no member is left behind.

8. Lost in Translation - communicating in a multi-cultural society
12 SEP 2023 · In this episode of Talk to the Elephant, we chat to Rachel Edwards, Senior Content Designer at Content Design London, to explore the importance of making communications accessible to those for whom English isn’t a first language – and ask: - what are the risks of not considering language when we communicate about money and pensions? - does plain and simple language as we know it really make sense? - how can we ensure our communication caters to people, whatever their background? - and how can we better recognise culture when we communicate? -
7. Investing for good - aligning our investments with our values

4. You don’t know what you don’t know - who’s responsible for financial education
17 JAN 2023 · When we communicate about pensions and money, we might spend time considering the words and delivery mechanisms we use, to ensure the relevant people get the message. But what happens if they simply don’t understand what they’re being told or overlook it because they don’t know what it means? We chat with Ola Majekodunmi, founder of All Things Money, and explore when financial education should start, who's responsible for providing it, and what happens when people join the workplace. -
3. Financial freedom vs retirement with Lisa Conway-Hughes
23 NOV 2022 · The way we talk about saving for the long-term is changing, with many people rejecting the traditional model of ‘study, work, retire’ and aspiring for financial freedom. But what’s driving the movement? Who’s most likely to subscribe? And should the pension industry move with the times and talk about financial independence instead of retirement? We chat with Lisa Conway-Hughes, author of 'Money Lessons – how to manage your finances to get the life you want', to find out. -
