The Life and Money Unfiltered Team
At Life and Money Unfiltered, we believe in transparency, honesty, and unfiltered discussions about money. Our journey began with a chance meeting and a shared passion for breaking down the complex world of financial planning and wealth management. What started as a podcast on George Ladds' Money Wise UK channel has grown into something much bigger: a platform where real conversations about money, investing, and life take place.
Meet the Hosts
Sam Gee, Founder of Manning Gee Investments
Sam founded Manning Gee Investments in 2020—right in the middle of a turbulent financial landscape. With a vision to help people take control of their financial futures, Sam approaches financial planning differently. Despite being told he was “fishing in the wrong pond” by some, his approach has resonated with clients, and his business continues to grow year after year.
Coming from a family with a successful financial planning background, Sam always knew he would start his own business. His unique perspective on life and money fuels the discussions on Life and Money Unfiltered. And as a fun fact, Sam has a bit of an obsession with watching airplanes and their flight paths—though we’re still not entirely sure how that connects to money!

George Ladds, Founder of Money Wise UK
George is the founder of Money Wise UK, a consultancy that helps financial planning businesses break down the myths around money. With a career that spans insurance sales, marketing, PR, and even running a direct-to-consumer investment platform, George brings a wealth of diverse experience to the table. Having worked with financial advisers, managed investments, and overseen compliance, he’s a true “jack of all trades.”
George’s passion for simplifying financial concepts and breaking down the barriers surrounding money is at the heart of Life and Money Unfiltered. And in case you're wondering, George has a penchant for spending his money on Lego—just another way to show that life and money don’t always need to be serious!
