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 Investors Win in Markets and Life, joins me on the podcast to share what he was able to glean from interviewing these major players in the financial industry. He also breaks down what we can learn from their successes and failures, including the fact that money isn't everything.

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 Your Financial Well-Being and How to Break Free.
In her book, she shares client stories, case studies, and her professional expertise on how to overcome those psychological barriers, find their root causes, and develop a path forward to achieve a brighter financial future.

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 podcast episode with Mark Matson, author of Experiencing The American Dream: How to Invest Your Time, Energy, and Money to Create an Extraordinary Life, we discuss this topic in-depth including how the “Dream” is still alive despite what some people may think, how money itself can’t make you happy (so don’t lose sight of what matters), how to create your own purpose, and how to actually realize your the “Dream” by investing strategically for the future.

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 invited Natasha Etschmann and Ana Kresina on the podcast who both live in Australia. Ana is originally from Canada (we went to the same university!), so she has a unique perspective on personal finance in Canada and Australia. Natasha has become one of the biggest financial content creators in Australia with a following in the hundreds of thousands.
Together, they've teamed up to write the book How To Not Work Forever: Start Investing and Build a Life You Love to help people in Australia and anywhere in the world achieve financial freedom so they can, well, not work forever. Ana also wrote the book Kids Ain't Cheap: How to Plan Financially for Parenthood and Your Family's Future to help parents navigate the financial change of becoming a parent.

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: How to Reduce Waste, Build Wealth, and Create a Better Future for All. She offers insight into some of the biggest obstacles we're facing, such as the push for overconsumption, reliance on fossil fuels, and unjust systems, while also offering practical solutions for how we can all play our part in securing a better future for us and the generations behind us. She also provides specific guidance on how we can build wealth and achieve financial freedom without having to compromise our ethics or values. In other words, when it comes to being more green with your money but also making sure you take care of yourself, you actually can do both!
This book holds a really special place in my heart because Kara and I were working on our books at the same time, plus I've known Kara for years and is one of the most genuine people in the personal finance space. I hope you enjoy this interview and her book as much as I did.

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-directed through a discount brokerage was fairly seamless, making the switch was still intimidating and I know that's been a common sentiment from students in my Wealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course as well.
That's why I wanted to invite An Le, Business Development Manager at National Bank Direct Brokerage, on the podcast to discuss all the ins and outs of becoming a self-directed investor from setting up your account, developing an investment strategy, and placing your first trade. This is an essential listen to anyone who wants to start investing on their own but isn't sure what steps to take.

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 teamed up with entrepreneur Adrian Brambila to share how you can break free and start thinking rich by reading their new book: Start Thinking Rich: 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Financial Freedom.
I'm gonna be honest, if you want a book that sugarcoats things, this is not the book for you. It's full of home truths that may be uncomfortable to hear, but sometimes they need to be heard if nothing else has been able to make an impact for you. Nevertheless, at the core of the book, the message is that you deserve a better financial life, you are capable of changing your future, and there's never been a better time than right now to take that first step into the rest of your life.

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 strategically, you can fly in luxury for free!
Because my episodes with Shawn Stewart, President of AIR MILES, and T.J. Dunn, Editor-in-Chief at Prince of Travel, were so popular, I wanted to invite Graeme on the show to find out his travel tips we can all learn from.
Over the past few years, Graeme has become one of the top Canadian content creators focused on educating Canadians about which points to collect and how to maximize them for incredible travel experiences. Not only does he make amazing short-form videos on his Instagram and Tiktok, you can also find his longer-form videos on his YouTube channel and stay in the loop of the latest travel deals by signing up for his newsletter.

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: Stories from an Unexpected Life.
This was what she envisioned as her next chapter after pioneering the modern-day home decorating show, writing multiple books, and making her wealth through her production company and brand deals all before it was cool to do it. So the question remains, what's your next chapter look like once you've reached your version of financial freedom?
In this episode, we talk about her incredible career and financial journey from broke model in London to household name in Canada, while also exploring how we should all dream big, make plans and take more risks because we only have one life to live (so might as well live it to the fullest).

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 with money on the podcast too! I think she may be the first guest to share her credit score on the show, which she's working on getting back into the 800s after her second husband forced her to declare bankruptcy.
I say it a few times throughout this episode, but Mary's story is really about how resilience can be your superpower. Life can be difficult and unfair at times, but if you keep getting back up after each financial setback, you never know where it may lead you. In Mary's case, it led her to a successful career as a luxury real estate agent in LA on top of being a star on Netflix's popular TV show Selling Sunset.

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 us.
That's why I wanted to discuss how we can all be wiser with our money with Ankita DMello, Principal Product Manager at Wise. I've personally been using Wise for years for a few different reasons. It started with my business, as I work with contractors from different countries and wanted a seamless and low-fee way to pay them. Then, I started using it for travel. Instead of relying solely on my credit cards and being charged a foreign transaction fee plus a marked-up exchange rate, I now load up my Wise card with funds (which works similarly to a debit card) so I can pay for things in that country's local currency for a much lower fee and the mid-market exchange rate, which is the fairest exchange rate out there.
In this episode, we explore different scenarios in which you may not even realize you're paying high fees or aren't getting the best exchange rate, some common misconceptions about exchanging currency, current trends Wise is seeing with its customers' use of the platform, and the importance of being strategic with the financial tools available so you can reduce the fees you pay and keep more money for more important things.

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 Guide to Abundant and Intentional Living comes in.
Holly is the creative director of The Financial Diet, where she's been talking about money on and offline since 2016. This new book is the sequel to TFD co-founders Chelsea Fagan and Lauren Ver Hage's first book The Financial Diet: A Total Beginner's Guide to Getting Good with Money. It's your guide on how to not only get to the next level with your money, but more importantly, how to start feeling good about your money. This means starting to think of money less as a goal to achieve and more as a tool to help you live a life that brings you comfort and joy. It also means determining what does true happiness mean for you outside of money, because money can only help so much.

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 behaviours) while accepting those you cannot.
Darius has been practicing this way of thinking for years and has been able to see first-hand the fruits of his labours for doing so. He's been able to take the emotion out of investing, stay disciplined when managing his finances, and not get sucked into the greed trap by remembering that money is just a tool to live the life you want, it's not the goal itself.

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 discuss how we can all design a fulfilling life and change course if we need to... and what money's role has to do with it.
Jeff has a very interesting background. He quit high school to become a professional pianist, but in 2008, his world flip over. Faced with eviction and a divorce, struggling with depression and $495,000 in debt, he was not where he wanted to be in life. So, he set out on a quest to change that, and a decade later he was able to redesign his life into one that truly fulfilled him, but one that also helped him gain financial security through his multiple 8-figure earning businesses. Nowadays his focus is to teach others how to develop their own life operating system through his ENTRE Institute so they too can live a life that checks all their physical, personal and professional boxes.
As the last episode of this season, I hope this interview serves as some much-needed inspiration for you as you continue working on yourself, and your finances, while I take a break for the summer. And guess what, when the podcast comes back in the fall, I'll have many more details to share about my book! But also speaking of books, make sure to grab a copy of Jeff's book Unlocking Your Potential (or enter to win a copy in my book giveaway!).

Is there an advantage to being an outsider? Often we just want to fit it, but what would happen if we leaned into what sets us apart? That's what Ciera Rogers, founder and CEO of BABES and author of The Outsider Advantage, did to get herself out of poverty and eventually build a multi-million dollar fashion brand. In this episode, we talk about changing your money story, accepting and healing from your money trauma, and changing course so you can achieve the life you want and deserve.

We talk a lot about investing, budgeting, and spending our money... but what about giving it away? An often overlooked but important element of personal finance is making sure our money flows through our communities and helps make the world a safer, kinder and better place. That's why I invited founder and CEO of Charitable Impact, John Bromley, on the podcast to discuss the importance of philanthropy, how to give in alignment with your values, and how to donate to make the biggest impact. Make sure to check out after this episode Charitable Impact. I stumbled upon it and just think it's such a great tool to help you donate your money to multiple causes through one simple account while also giving you that oh-so-nice charitable tax receipt for tax time.

We talked about how to use AIR MILES to travel better in episode 393 with President Shawn Stewart, and since getting so much great feedback from that episode, I thought why not do an episode talking about another great loyalty program for travel — Aeroplan. And since one of the best online sources for information about Aeroplan is Prince of Travel, I invited Editor-in-Chief T.J. Dunn on the show to find out all his tips, tricks, and secrets.
As someone who has been travel-hacking with Aeroplan points for years, T.J. now helps others learn how to use points to get free (or almost free trips), how to fly business class for a fraction of the cost, and when are the best times to book travel with points to get the best value.
All I can say is I've never been more excited about my future trip to Italy now that I know my flights are basically already paid for!

Us women have come a long way to close the pay gap... or have we? Legal scholars Naomi Cahn, June Carbone, and Nancy Levit would argue that we are actually further away from pay parity than we think and there is much more work to be done for us to have a just economy.
Despite leaning in, getting advanced degrees, and working twice as hard, women's wages are still being eroded and there is still barely any female representation in lucrative industries like tech, finance, and law (as they've personally witnessed as lawyers and law professors themselves). So, what can be done?
In their new book, Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy and in this podcast episode, they not only identify the root problem and share real-life stories from women fighting the good fight, but they also share a path forward that both women and allies can walk together.
