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.

The Budget has been everywhere but how much of what you’ve heard is actually happening, and how much is just noise?

In this episode, Adrian Murphy sits down with Neil Law, Director of Financial Planning at Murphy Wealth, to separate fact from speculation and talk through what really matters for long-term planning.

Together, they unpack the most common questions people are asking right now:

• What will and won’t change after the Budget?
• What could pensions and inheritance tax look like in the coming years?
• Where might tax tweaks actually land?
• And the big one: what’s the smartest move right now?

Neil gives straight answers. Adrian pushes for what this means in real terms. And together they explain why staying calm, informed, and focused on your long-term plan is more powerful than reacting to headlines.

In this short episode, Adrian Murphy, CEO of Murphy Wealth, explains why acting on rumours about tax-free lump sums can be risky.

There’s a lot of chatter about tax-free lump sums being cut or disappearing altogether in the next Budget, and it’s causing panic. Some people are rushing to take as much as they can from their pensions 'just in case'.

But once you take that money out, you can’t simply put it back. And acting too quickly could damage your retirement plan.

Rumours aren’t a reason to make life-changing financial decisions. Even if rules do change, it rarely happens overnight and good advice will help you navigate them safely.
