In this episode, Miles Beamish joins Shane and Andrea to explore how a love of numbers can drive meaningful impact, both professionally and personally.

They unpack the value of finance brokers and accountants working together with clients over the long term, offering consistency and trust, rather than being passed from one client manager to the next at a big bank.

Miles also opens up about the physical challenges he takes on to support causes like Movember, Cancer Council, and Beyond Blue. From 100km charity rides to endurance training, he shares how he breaks down the numbers—pace, time and mindset—to stay on track and push through.
