More Money Podcast

When I'm asked who my favourite personal finance author is, my answer is always the same: Andrew Hallam. His book Millionaire Teacher changed my life and the way I thought about money. But it was his second book, Balance , that cemented him as my all-time favourite. In this interview about this book, we discuss the connection between money and happiness, how to live a financially healthier life, a...

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 chi...

One person I’ve always looked up to when it came to writing is my friend Cait Flanders. We’ve been friends for going on 10+ years now, getting to know each other when we were both just personal finance bloggers, but funnily enough we’ve never lived in the same city at the same time. Cait has always had such a way with words, which is why it was no surprise that her book The Year of Less is still a...

As we get closer to the More Money Podcast’s 10-year anniversary this June, I wanted to bring back some of my favourite and most popular episodes from the archives to celebrate the show’s decade-long run. And there’s no better episode to start with than my very first one! I share my comments at the end of the episode after listening to it again and wow, it’s wild how much can change over the years...

To continue from last week, I wanted to share another excerpt from my now bestselling book  "Everything but Money: The Hidden Barriers Between You and Financial Freedom" so you can get a feel for the book (and audiobook especially since I narrated it), to see if it’s something you’d like to buy or borrow from your local library. This excerpt is from Chapter 1. To buy a copy of my book and for...

Happy New Year! To kick off season 20 of the More Money Podcast and to celebrate the release of my book "Everything but Money: The Hidden Barriers Between You and Financial Freedom", which is not only an Indigo bestseller but also the Non-Fiction Staff Pick of the Month, I'm going to read an excerpt from my book's introduction so you can get a taste of what to expect.

If you'd like to support my book launch, please buy a copy in paperback, ebook, or audiobook. And stay tuned for news about my upcoming book tour!...

People sure have a lot to say about how you spend your money. The funny thing is, those people don't know you as well as you know yourself. So why would you listen to their advice or opinions, when the real person you should be listening to is yourself? This notion is what inspired Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, co-hosts of The Frugal Friends Podcast , to write their book Buy What You Love Without G...

What sets us apart from the best investors in the world, like Sir John Templeton, Jack Bogle, Ed Thorp, and Howard Marks? What hidden talents do they have that made them millionaires or billionaires? And what lessons can we take away from their journeys that can help us become better investors too? William Green, financial journalist and author of Richer, Wiser, Happier: How the World's Greatest I...

What's the driving force behind your money habits? Where did you learn your beliefs and values about money? What are some of the psychological hurdles you've encountered most of your life, preventing you from reaching your full financial potential? I discuss these questions and more with financial psychotherapist Vicky Reynal, author of Money on Your Mind: The Unconscious Beliefs That Sabotage You...

What does the “American Dream” mean to you? Or if you live in Canada like me, the “Canadian Dream”? Personally, I think it’s something only you can define for yourself, but for me it means living in a country that gives you access, freedom, opportunity, a voice, and the potential to reach heights you never thought possible when it comes to your career, finances, and life in general. In this podcas...

Isn't it amazing how, no matter where you live in the world, we can all be doing the exact same thing like chasing financial freedom? Sure, there may be different tax rules, account types, and even strategies depending on the country, but at the end of the day, the actual steps to build wealth and achieve your financial goals can look the same no matter where you live. To prove this point, I invit...

With everything going on in the world — the climate crisis, wars overseas, the widening wealth gap — it can often feel like our voices don't matter and we have little control over the future. Although it can feel like that, the good news is that it doesn't have to be that way. Especially if we make sure to use our money for good. And that's exactly what Kara Perez explores in her book Green Money:...

I became a fully self-directed investor in 2021 and no exaggeration, it was one of the best financial decisions I've ever made! Up until then, I'd used an advisor, then switched to a robo-advisor. But then I came to a point where I wanted more control over my investments, not to mention wanting to save more money on fees. Even though the transition from leaving my robo-advisor to going self-direct...

Do you have a rich mindset when it comes to money? Or are you unconsciously holding yourself back from financial freedom? As the data shows, many people are in fact holding themselves back, and financial psychologist Dr. Brad Klontz knows this all too well. That's why, after writing several amazing books on psychology and money, including Mind Over Money and Psychology of Financial Planning , he's...

Do you dream of flying business class in one of those lie-flat seats with multiple course meals and unlimited wine on a long-haul flight like I do? Personally, the cheapskate in me could never pay for such an expensive airline ticket. But after interviewing Graeme Bligh, founder of The Canadian Jetsetter , I've learned that you may not have to. If you know how to play the credit card points game s...

If you've been watching Debbie Travis decorate on TV for years like I have, then you're going to love hearing what she's up to now! Basically, she's living my dream, having moved to Tuscany a decade ago where she now spends her days making her own olive oil and wine, hosting groups of women for life-changing retreats at her villa and writing books about her life like her latest one: Laugh More: St...

If you're a big Selling Sunset fan like I am, then you're going to love this episode! I had to pull a few strings with my publisher to get Mary Bonnet on the show, but I'm so glad! Not only did I absolutely love her new book Selling Sunshine: Surviving Teenage Motherhood, Thriving in Luxury Real Estate, and Finally Finding My Voice , but she was so candid about the ups-and-downs she's experienced...

We're more global than ever, and the same goes for our money. We travel internationally more frequently, work or go to school abroad, move to different countries and receive or send money back home. Our money needs to keep up with how fluid our lives are. Unfortunately, most banks or currency exchange shops are still living in the dark ages, making it hard for us to easily move money around with u...

When you're at the start of your personal finance journey, typically you've got one focus — how to get by. That means catching up on your bills, getting rid of your debt, putting money into savings, and getting to a place where you can finally breathe again. But once you've scaled that big mountain, where do you go next? That's where Holly Trantham's book Beyond Getting By: The Financial Diet's Gu...

If you're an employee, this is a must-listen episode! We should all know more about our employee rights, so why not learn it straight from two powerhouse lawyers who help clients navigate the complex world of employment contracts, salary and severance negotiation, and standing up for themselves in the workplace every day? That's why I've invited David Whitten and Daniel Lublin , founding partners...

We can learn a lot about wealth if we just look to the Stoics. So much so that author Darius Foroux wrote a whole book on it! In his new book The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity , he shares how closely interconnected wealth-building and success are to Stoicism, the philosophy of focusing on the things in life you can control (such as your thoughts, emotions, and behavi...

How do you feel about your life right now, in this moment? I've gotta say, this question has been heavily on my mind the past year since I've had to do a lot of introspection for my upcoming book. Am I happy? Where am I headed? What is my personal potential and am I doing all I can to unlock it? For the season 18 finale of the More Money Podcast, I invited my guest Jeff Lerner on the show to discu...
