Kieran Blackwood

Lead Financial Educator

Kieran spent eight years as an investment analyst before realizing that most people learn finance better through stories than spreadsheets. After watching too many friends make expensive mistakes with their money, he shifted focus to education in early 2022.

His approach combines behavioral psychology with practical market knowledge. He's particularly interested in why people make irrational financial decisions and how to build better habits around money management.

Why We're Here

Financial education shouldn't feel like deciphering ancient scrolls. We started glorianexito because too many smart people were making basic money mistakes simply because no one explained things in plain language.

Our goal isn't to turn everyone into day traders or investment experts. We want to help people make informed decisions about their money, understand the basics of investing, and avoid the common pitfalls that can derail financial progress.

How We Work

  • We test everything with real people before publishing. If it doesn't make sense to someone new to finance, we rewrite it.
  • We update content regularly based on market changes and learner feedback. Financial education can't be static.
  • We focus on practical skills over theoretical knowledge. Everything should have a clear application to real-world situations.
  • We're honest about what we don't know and always cite our sources. Financial advice requires transparency.

Our Approach to Learning

We've spent the last few years figuring out what actually works when teaching financial concepts to adults with busy lives.

Real Scenario Practice

Instead of abstract examples, we use situations our learners actually face. Buying a home, changing jobs, planning for family expenses - the stuff that matters.

Progressive Complexity

We start with the absolute basics and build up gradually. No one gets thrown into advanced concepts before they're ready.

Canadian Context

Our content specifically addresses Canadian tax laws, investment options, and financial institutions. Generic advice doesn't help when you're dealing with RRSPs and TFSAs.
