10 years. If you told me back in 2015 that starting this podcast would change my life, I wouldn't have believed you. Back then, I was just looking for a different outlet other than blogging to continue learning and educating others about money. In no way could I have predicted that I'd end up interviewing hundreds of experts and authors from all over the world, leaving my 9-to-5 to start my own financial education business, and eventually releasing a bestselling book where I share some of the mo...

For my final guest interview for Season 20 (don't worry, I've got one more solo episode airing tomorrow), I am so thrilled to have financial content creator and writer Katie Gatti Tassin on the More Money Podcast to talk about how to claim your financial power when it feels like everything is working against you. Because if you're a woman, the data doesn't lie. There are a lot of things making it harder to build wealth and achieve financial independence. There's the gender wage gap, unfair hirin...

How can we empower Gen Z and even Gen Alpha to take control of their financial futures? As my guest Rachel Rodgers explains in her new book, Future Millionaire: A Young Person’s Step-by-Step Guide to Making WEALTH Inevitable , we need to throw out the old rules and create new ones for this very different world they've just entered. Rachel, who also wrote the book We Should All Be Millionaires , shares that we need to be more open and transparent about the real economic struggles young people fac...

The Canadian Couch Potato and well-respected investment portfolio manager and financial planner at PWL Capital, came on the show back in 2022 and shared exactly what you need to do to set up the right investment portfolio for you so you can reach your goals, keep your costs low, and spend hardly any time on it per year.

On her personal finance journey, she realized she could help other women, especially Black women, in similar circumstances, which led her to create a massive community onli...

One of my favourite Canadian personal finance books to recommend is Larry Bates' Beat the Bank because it's exactly what every Canadian needs to know about how to advocate for yourself, not pay too much in fees, and navigate the complex and sometimes secretive world of finance. Considering Larry worked in finance for over 35 years, he knows what he's talking about and holds nothing back. This episode originally aired on January 22, 2020.

Leisa Peterson first came on the podcast in 2020 to talk about her first book The Mindful Millionaire , so I'm thrilled to welcome her back to talk about her new book The Money Catalyst where we deep-dive into the topics of scarcity, abundance, nurturing your inner wealth and transforming your relationship with money. What's also very different about her new book is that it's written as a narrative instead of a more traditional how-to style. If you know me, you know I love personal finance books...

Too often, we confuse money for happiness, while it's simply a tool that can help us increase our happiness (to a limit).

In this re-listen episode, we discussed what it was like writing this narrative-style personal finance book with bestselling author David Bach ( The Automatic Millionaire ), and the core messages of the book such as spending within your value system, setting strong financial goals, and never giv...

Knowing what we know now about money, I bet most of us would do things differently if we could go back in time. Although time machines don't exist, at least there's Shannon Lee Simmons' new book Making Bank: Money Skills for Real Life which was written specifically for teenagers so they can not only avoid repeating the same money mistakes we made, but they can learn all the skills they need to reach financial freedom during they most formative years. If you've got a teenager (or know someone who...

The saying "Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life" is quite honestly a lie. Even if you find your passion and are doing a job you love, it's still a job. And sometimes it's not fun. Take it from me! I love working for myself, but it's still work. Not only that, I know so many people who have passions outside of work, and their job is just, well, their job. And that's okay, says author and now TED Talk speaker Simone Stolzoff in this interview I had with him in 2023. I ho...

With everything that's going on between Canada and the U.S., a lot of us Canadians are rethinking our travel plans by staying on this side of the border to not only save money but to support our own economy. And one of the best ways to see our beautiful country is by travelling by RV. For this episode, I talk to Christopher Mahony, president of Go RVing Canada, a non-profit that's dedicated to promoting the RVing lifestyle in Canada.

I rarely have guests on the show to talk about real estate, especially real estate investing, since there are so many sharks out there trying to sell some get-rich-quick scheme or there are just so many other real estate-specific podcasts already out there. But when I had the chance to meet Daniel Foch and Nick Hill at an event recently, I knew I had to have them both on the show to fill us all in on what's going on with the Canadian real estate market. Not only do they host The Canadian Real Es...

Freedom fund, f*** off fund, no matter what you want to call it, we all need an escape plan from a bad job, bad relationship, or just bad situation that involves having a stack of cash in the bank in case we need to leave. I discussed this and more with Paulette Perhach, who coined the term "f*** off fund" in an article she wrote which subsequently went viral. Paulette is also an author of Welcome to the Writer's Life and continues to write articles for publications like the New York Times, Elle...

This was such a special episode to record. I've been talking with Brian Rump online over email and DMs for years as he's been a longtime podcast listener. When I did a call out in 2023 for money stories I could feature in my book Everything but Money , he volunteered and his story ended up being one that impacted readers the most. When my book came out and I sent him a copy, he asked if he could step out from the anonymous name I gave him, come on the podcast, and share the rest of his story inc...

If only I grew up wealthy, like Richie Rich, then all my problems would melt away. That's what I initially thought as a child and something I explore in my book "Everything but Money," but as it turns out, more money does in fact lead to more problems. Or if not more problems, different ones. To explore this topic further, I want to re-listen to the episode I did with Kristin Keffeler, a family wealth advisor and author of The Myth of the Silver Spoon. In this episode, she shares real-life stori...

I'm so glad I started this podcast back in 2015 because it gave me the perfect opportunity to get a recording of my maternal grandpa, Jacques Hardy, before he passed away a few years later. And it's because of this recording I was able to more accurately share his financial journey in my book "Everything but Money." To say my grandpa came from humble beginnings is an understatement. Throughout childhood, scarcity was common place, but he was able to find a way out, get married, and make sure his...
