this episode is brought to you by lloyds now when you have ambitions. Being able to see the bigger picture is just so important and history definitely teaches us that. My favourite example, not necessarily a brilliant man, but the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. He was a visionary, he was an adventurer, but he also grasped that the empire of the Aztecs was vulnerable and he took his men inland and he was able to bring down the Aztecs with just a handful of men. And of course this isn't just a problem for blood-soaked conquistadors it is true for the rest of us as well which is where lloyd's comes in their app helps you to see all your finances in one place so that you can feel clearer and more confident about what comes next and rather like cortez you're managing the micro and the macro so one moment you might be managing day-to-day spending with budgeting insights using the app or you might be getting guidance if you're thinking about starting a business.
