Mortgage Strategy Launches MS NextGen Podcast with Adviser Joe Maskell
Mortgage Strategy has launched the first episode of its MS NextGen Podcast, featuring Joe Maskell, Mortgage and Protection Adviser at The Finance Planning Group. Maskell is a member of the MS NextGen Class of 2026, the publisher's 12-month talent accelerator.
Kimberley Dondo hosts the episode, a frontline conversation about the practical realities of giving advice in today's market.
What the First Episode Covers
In the launch episode, Maskell discusses the steep learning curves of his early days as an adviser, the persistent misconceptions clients hold about brokers, and how he keeps a clear head when transactions become complicated.
He also talks about what being selected for the MS NextGen 30 Under 30 has meant for his career, why genuine peer support matters, and what he would say to anyone hesitating to apply for the 2027 cohort.
About the MS NextGen Programme
The MS NextGen programme is designed to identify, develop, and champion 30 of the most promising professionals under 30 across the UK mortgage and protection sector.
Applications for the 2027 cohort open later in September 2026, and interested professionals can pre-register online now.
How to Listen
The full video conversation is available on the Mortgage Strategy website, and the episode can also be heard via the audio player and all major podcast platforms.
While the podcast is aimed primarily at mortgage and protection professionals, its themes of client misconceptions, managing complicated transactions and early-career development will also resonate with letting agents and inventory clerks working at the frontline of the UK property sector.
