Adam Piplica The Singing Paraplanner on blogging, simple finance, and running live events - MAF169

On the show this week is my guest Adam Piplica, intriguingly known as, the Singing Paraplanner.

We talk about how Adam set up The Magical Penny blog, how he's training to be an financial adviser and the Money Life Live event he hosted which aims to keep finance simple.

Welcome to episode 169 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.

We chat about:

  • Why jargon confuses potential customers
  • Why Adam set up his blog, The Magical Penny
  • Adam’s transition from blogger to financial planner
  • How Adam became "The Singing Paraplanner"
  • Why he hosted his own live financial services event
  • Whether Adam would run another conference and what he would change

Who is Adam Piplica?

Adam started his blog, The Magical Penny, not long after he left university, following his decision to learn about finance and the stock markets, something he knew nothing about.

He found that most of the online information was targeted to the US market, which often didn’t apply to the UK. He started carrying out his own research, so he could make some investments.

After successfully investing during the recession, the blog was a way to talk about his own experiences and encourage others to invest too, in a simple way. This led to him writing for MSN Money and other online publications.
