In this episode of The Human First Podcast, Adrian Murphy, CEO of Murphy Wealth, explores one of the most important conversations couples avoid: money.

Talking about finances on a first date is more likely to give someone the “ick” than talking about marriage or children. Yet money remains one of the biggest sources of tension in long-term relationships.

In this episode, Adrian breaks down:

• Why couples avoid money conversations (and what it’s really costing them)
• How “finance dates” can strengthen both your relationship and your financial future
• The difference between financial compatibility and financial alignment
• Simple ways to start money talks without them turning into arguments

This isn’t about spreadsheets or budgeting apps. It’s about clarity, communication, and building a shared vision for your future.

Because love and money aren’t separate. If you’re building a life together, they go hand in hand.

What if your money was secretly working against you?

In this special Traitors Edition of The Human First Podcast, Adrian Murphy, CEO of Murphy Wealth sits down with Oliver Bass, Financial Planner, to put three common financial strategies to the test. Cash, investing, and pensions, which one really gets you to your goal first?

Using a simple target of £120,000, they break down:

• Why cash often feels safest… but usually loses the race
• How investing can accelerate growth
• And why pensions often come out on top, not because of risk, but because of tax advantages and employer contributions

Three different strategies, one endgame.

This episode isn’t about hype or hot tips, it’s about understanding the rules of the game and making sure your money isn’t quietly betraying you.
