The Green Room: Questions That Matter Most In Business

Why aren’t we taught how to adult? With Gemma Tetlow and Dan Lyons

Tax forms. Mortgages. Pensions. Most of us have to deal with them at some point in our lives, but do we really understand them? We all know we’ll have to take control of our finances when we ‘grow up’, but we don’t always know where to start. In fact, our research shows that most people in the UK do not understand their personal tax affairs, with the younger generations the most confused. So why are we leaving them to fend for themselves? Is a lack of financial understanding holding young people back? What about those of us still struggling? Will we ever get to grips with it all? Is the tax system really that complicated? Do we understand what we’re paying towards? And why does it matter anyway?   Hosts: George Parrett and Ethan Worth Guests: Dan Lyons and Gemma Tetlow Technical support: Deloitte’s Creative Studio Original music: Ali Barrett

Each episode we ask one big question about the world around us that’s affecting business. From climate to technology, inclusion to the future of work and much more, we’ll call on experts and great research from our firm and beyond to find the answers that business is debating.

We’ll ask questions like: Can AI help us be more human? Is technology our planet’s best hope? Are leaders born or made? And do elections change anything?
