More Money Podcast

Dan Bortolotti, a.k.a. 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. Dan is a legend in the personal finance community, so I...

I've got an incredibly inspirational guest for this episode! Dasha Kennedy, founder of the Broke Black Girl and author of Moving Beyond Broke: The Power of Perseverance in Personal Finance , shares her story of growing up low-income, surviving divorce and becoming a single parent, and learning about managing money on her own. On her personal finance journey, she realized she could help other women...

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 epis...

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 narrativ...

Too often, we confuse money for happiness, while it's simply a tool that can help us increase our happiness (to a limit). To talk about how to get your happy back and how to use money strategically to help you get there, for this episode, we're re-listening to my interview with Melissa Leong, author of Happy Go Money and money expert on The Social . This episode originally aired on February 6, 201...

We also discuss her unconventional journey to b...

It's not about the latte! Most people (and money experts) misunderstand the true meaning of the latte factor, so who better to ask what it really means than co-author of The Latte Factor John David Mann. 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...

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 rea...

This episode was incredibly relevant back in 2020 (and this originally aired before Covid and the crash!), and it's still just as relevant with the current economic situation we find ourselves today. If you want to know what to do with your investments from a true professional and expert in the field, Ben Felix, who is not only a CFP, CFA and CIM, but also the Chief Investment Officer and Portfoli...

Want to know how to find your financial joy? Because at the end of the day, money is just a tool. It's not the end goal. But joy, peace and happiness certainly are and money can help you fulfill that. In this relisten episode, Ken Okoroafor, founder of The Humble Penny and now a best-selling author of Financial Joy: Banish Debt, Grow Your Money and Live Joyfully in 10 Weeks, shares his story of hu...

Where do you even start with investing?

Cut to her going on a learning journey with her dad, a well-known motivational speaker, author and hedge fund manager, to discover all the ins and outs of building wea...

We spend most of our lives saving for retirement, but when we get there... what's next? In this episode originally released in 2019, I interview Mike Drak, author of retirement books like Victory Lap Retirement and Retirement - Heaven or Hell? , all about how to find your purpose in your retirement years, what it means to have a second career in retirement, and how to avoid some of the most common...

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,...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had one or two terrible bosses during their career. And I remember thinking "If I had the chance, I would do everything differently." But how do you become a good boss when you finally get the opportunity and avoid repeating their mistakes? That's what I discuss in this episode with CEO coach and author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (an...

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 pro...

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...

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...

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 s...

Life can be unexpected, but no matter what, it's important to be prepared in case the unexpected happens. That was one of the key messages Keisha Blair shared with me in our podcast interview and her award-winning book Holistic Wealth . Soon after giving birth to her second child, her husband fell ill and within the span of 24 hours, Keisha became a widow and single mom to two young children. This...

A huge thank you to my co-host and MC Melissa Leong who was absolutely incredible. Make sure to grab a copy of...

If you liked the episode where I interviewed my maternal grandpa, then you'll love this episode where I interview my paternal grandma! Audrey Moorhouse immigrated from Scotland to Canada with her husband in her 20s when my dad was about 3 years old. She had a rough childhood to say the least being brought up in foster care, but through all of her struggles, she was able to build a beautiful life f...

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 we...

What does human behaviour have to do with whether we are a good or bad investor? A lot! Which is why I was so pleased to have Dr. Daniel Crosby come on the show to share his insight on the podcast. Not only is he a behavioural finance expert, he's also written five books on the topic including The Behavioral Investor which we discuss in this episode. This episode originally aired on December 4, 20...
