This is the Podcast for providers and advisers looking to share business ideas and inspiration in the world of protection and finance.
In Episode 5 my guest is Phil Knight.
Phil has worked in the medical insurance sector since 1994 for the likes of WPA, Standard Life Healthcare, AXA PPP and Simply Health and financial services more generally from 1989, he set up his own specialist medical insurance practice in 2011 (working with Premier Choice Healthcare) and advises clients on all aspects of medical insurance in the UK and around the world. He promotes his practice as a fusion of technical knowledge and focused customer transparency.
Away from work he has two main passions: technology and martial arts. I wanted to get Philip on the podcast so that we can talk about how he uses technology via his medical insurance podcast to pass marketing messages and information on to his customers.
Here’s a little known fact - Phil has studied several martial arts since 1980 and now holds separate black belts in two styles of karate - but so far Phil hasn't found a way to successfully merge martial arts into his business life!
You might think that Private Medical Insurance, Podcasting and Social Media are strange topics to lump together. But Phil has boosted the success of his private medical insurance business by launching PMICast and using social media to drive traffic to his website.
Listen to how he has generated new leads and built a loyal audience of advisers and clients.

What is the Marketing Finance and Protection (MPAF) Podcast?
The MPAF Podcast is a 30 minute audio show you download from http://rogeredwards.co.uk/mpaf, iTunes or Stitcher Radio. Each week I’ll be interviewing financial services providers, advisers, experts and journalists. Interviews to listen to in the car, on the train or on the treadmill.
I’ll be asking what we can do to make protection and finance more accessible to the consumer. We’ll talk about:
• Marketing, communications and propositions.
• Financial and protection products
• Interesting business models and campaigns
as well discussing how advisers can promote their own businesses using modern content and social media methods.
My aim is to make sure that you will get one or two big business ideas that you can apply to you own business, whether it is a sales idea, advice idea, product tweak or simply an app that is worth looking at.
I’m your host, Roger Edwards. A Marketer for 25 years, ex-MD of Bright Grey and Scottish Provident, content and social media champion, I’m now in business to help your business.
