Chapter 1
Introduction
Vicky Pearce
Hello and welcome to the very first episode of the B-Compliant AI Podcast! I'm so excited you're joining us today as we launch this brand-new adventure.
Rachel McRae
Yeah, it's brilliant to finally be here! We've been planning this for ages, and now we’re, well, live. I can’t wait to share everything we’ve lined up.
Vicky Pearce
Absolutely. This podcast is all about making compliance accessible, enjoyable—even, dare I say it, a bit of fun.
Rachel McRae
Fun and compliance—those two words don’t usually go together, do they?
Vicky Pearce
No, but that’s exactly why we’re here! Compliance doesn’t have to be scary or dull. In fact, it can be a fascinating part of, you know, running an FCA regulated business. And we’re here to help show that.
Vicky Pearce
We’ll share stories, practical tips, and insights into the world of compliance. And, trust me, we might even surprise you a couple of times along the way.
Vicky Pearce
So who are we? I’m Vicky Pearce, the founder of B-Compliant. I’ve been in this industry for a good long while now—
Rachel McRae
And she’s amazing. She won’t tell you herself, but honestly, you know your stuff inside out, don’t you?
Vicky Pearce
Oh, stop it, Rachel. Anyway, with me today is Rachel McRae, Senior Compliance Consultant and resident history buff. She brings so much energy and perspective—it’s just brilliant having you here, Rachel.
Rachel McRae
Thanks, Vicky! It's gonna be such a ride, isn’t it? But yeah, like you were saying, compliance isn’t just rules and red tape—it’s kind of about navigating the bigger picture.
Vicky Pearce
Exactly. And that bigger picture is what we’re diving into throughout this series. Together, we’re bringing you insights, tools, and a bit of banter around compliance for the financial and wealth management sectors.
Chapter 2
What can you expect from this podcast
Vicky Pearce
So, as we were saying, this isn’t just any old podcast where we waffle on for hours, drowning you in jargon.
Rachel McRae
Oh no, definitely not—who’s got time for that anyway?
Vicky Pearce
Exactly. These episodes are short, snappy, and straight to the point. We’re here to give FCA-regulated firms, particularly in the financial advice and wealth management sectors, the updates you actually need to hear.
Rachel McRae
Yeah, like bite-sized chunks of compliance goodness. It’s kind of like giving you the headlines, but adding a little depth so you know what actually matters.
Rachel McRae
And each week, we’ll be calling out updates or developments in regulation—stuff we think is worth your time, really.
Rachel McRae
It’s about cutting through the noise. Because, let’s be honest, compliance updates can sometimes feel overwhelming. But we’re here to sift through it all so you don’t have to.
Vicky Pearce
Exactly. It’s all about keeping you ahead of what’s happening without bogging you down. No fluff, just the essentials for your business.
Rachel McRae
And we won’t shy away from explaining how some of this ties back to your day-to-day work—it’s got to be practical, doesn’t it?
Vicky Pearce
Spot on. So, in a nutshell, expect somewhere to turn for all your compliance updates, delivered with a sprinkle of fun—
Rachel McRae
Or maybe a big dollop, depending on how much coffee we’ve had.
Vicky Pearce
Exactly! But yeah, we’re here to make sure compliance is something you’re equipped to tackle head-on.
Chapter 3
