Ed Rempel in the Media
I am a popular financial blogger with 25 years of experience as a fee-for-service planner professional and 36 years as a tax accountant.
My “Unconventional Wisdom” blog:
- Awarded Top 50 Personal Finance Blog by Feedspot! #17 in 2023. I am the only full-service professional financial planner in the top 30! Feedspot is the most comprehensive list of best Canadian Personal Finance blogs on the internet from thousands they track.
- 2,500 unique viewers per month.
- #1 financial blog in Canada for a full service financial planner.
- #28 of the top Top 70 Money Influencers in Canada in 2023 by Hardbacon.
- My YouTube channel has over 60,000 views (2023). I launched Unconventional Wisdom Podcast in 2023 that already has 14,000 unique downloads.
My mission in life is to educate Canadians about what really works to achieve financial security & freedom.
My blog is a unique voice on among financial blogs. I have a ton of real-life experience having written thousands of comprehensive Financial Plans. A prolific writer, I am passionate about sharing my insights. Disillusioned with the “conventional wisdom” often espoused by financial planners and the media, I show you financial strategies proven to provide results over time. I steadfastly dislike “financial quackery” – financial advice that’s really just a sales pitch – and “placebo advice” – bad advice meant to make you feel good.
“To have unconventional success, you can’t be guided by conventional wisdom.” – David Swenson
I often guest post for leading financial publications & websites, and have been interviewed for many articles.
