Finance talks people actually sit through

Mention loans or finance and many people reach for their phones. Chris skips the theory. He breaks down the way banks assess loans into step-by-step calculations, and the audience works out their own numbers as he goes.

  1. Easy to follow

    Chris started out in banking, in loan approvals and credit risk. He explains in plain words how a bank sees a person or a company, so even people with no finance background can keep up.

  2. Hard to tune out

    Every key idea comes with a calculation using real numbers. People raise their hands, ask questions and work it out with him, so the room stays involved throughout.

  3. Ready to use

    Afterwards, people can estimate their own borrowing power and cash flow, and they know what to do first.
