The real work starts after CeMAP: On Networks, Leads & Studying

Author: Charlotte Hemmingway September 13, 2026 Duration: 22:06

Over a decade in retail, then a total career pivot.

In this episode, Lewis joins me to talk through exactly how he made the leap into financial services, starting with his CeMAP studies and the support that got him through to qualification.

But the real gold is what comes after the exam. Lewis gets honest about finding the right network, actually landing clients when you're starting from scratch, and the practical lessons he wishes someone had told him before he sat his first paper. If you're mid-CeMAP, or wondering what life looks like on the other side of it, this one's for you.
