In the latest episode of the Beyond Advisory podcast, we welcomed Michal Göttlicher – a financial advisor with over 15 years of experience and a strong background in both the Czech and British financial markets. In this conversation, he openly compares how financial advisory works in the Czech Republic versus the UK, and what these differences mean for both clients and advisors.

Michal has handled hundreds of mortgage cases in the UK and has years of hands-on advisory experience directly within the British market. This episode therefore offers a perspective built on real everyday practice, not on theoretical comparisons or second-hand impressions.

🧩 In this episode, you will learn:

• why financial advisors in the UK enjoy significantly higher social status
• how strict British regulation really is
• how advisor compensation differs across mortgages, investments, and insurance
• why UK advisors carry long-term responsibility for their advice
• and what the Czech market could take away from the British approach

🎧 A clear and honest discussion about the differences between markets, advisor accountability, and why true financial advisory ultimately depends on character and professionalism.
