Have you ever thought you were "bad with money"? Well, in this relisten episode, I interview Gabe Dunn, author of Bad with Money, where we discuss breaking bad money habits, how mental health can have a big impact on your money behaviours, and how to find balance with who you really are and your finances. Not only is this such a fun episode to re-listen to, but it also inspired me to reach back out to Gabe and include their story in my book Everything but Money (isn't the universe funny like that?).

Did you know that the LGBTQ wage gap means that queer people earn 90 cents on the dollar, with trans women earning 60 cents on the dollar? If you didn’t, that’s because the unique financial obstacles faced by the LGBTQ community rarely gets the attention they deserve. To bring more awareness to it, I’ve invited Nick Wolny on the podcast to speak about it. He’s a finance columnist for Out Magazine and the author of Money Proud: The Queer Guide to Generate Wealth, Slay Debt, and Build Good Habits to Secure Your Future.
In this episode, Nick shares the systemic barriers many queer people face every day to build wealth, how the AIDS epidemic had a big impact on long-term financial planning in the community, and what we all can do as allies to make things more equitable in the future.

There's a lot more to investing than math and strategies. In fact, some would argue that behaviour is a bigger indicator of how good an investor you are. This is what I discuss in this episode with Dr. Daniel Crosby, a prolific psychologist, behavioural finance expert and author of several books, including The Behavioral Investor.

Rose Han, a former Wall Street trader who turned million-subscriber financial YouTuber, joins me on the More Money Podcast, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I have followed Rose's incredible journey since her early days on YouTube, and I was eager to discuss how she went from being $100,000 in debt to becoming a millionaire in only 7 years.
We also discussed her new book, Add a Zero, which provides a straightforward path for anyone to achieve financial freedom and reach their first million, no matter their starting point. It all starts with creating a solid foundation, getting your net worth to zero, keeping your emotions in check and having a growth mindset, and slowly getting to your first $1,000, then $100,000, then finally your first $1 million.

Since credit was the topic of yesterday's episode, I thought it only right to relisten to this episode I did with Canada's credit expert and author of The Credit Game, Richard Moxley. He shares his insight and years of experience helping people get out of debt and rebuild their credit and I'm telling you, you've likely never heard someone so passionate about credit!

And we're back for Season 22 of the More Money Podcast, and just in time for my favourite time of year — Financial Literacy Month! To kick it off, I've invited Becca Mintz, VP of Credit and Data at Capital One Canada, on the show to talk about a subject many still feel is taboo. I'm talking about having bad credit.
Here's the thing, there are a multitude of ways that you have bad credit, or maybe have zero credit history, making it hard to get a credit card or a mortgage. But that doesn't mean you're bad with money and it doesn't mean you don't have any options. Anyone can rebuild their credit, it just takes time and knowing the steps to take to get you there.
In the episode, Becca and I clear up some misconceptions and myths about credit (like how checking your credit score negatively impacts it... it doesn't), discussing tools and strategizes to help you rebuild your credit, and why educating yourself about credit is one of the best ways to improve your financial future.

In the final episode of this special series, I interview Bean Gill and Nancy Morrow, co-founders of ReYu, a neuro-recovery center based in Edmonton, Alberta. ReYu helps kids and adults with neurological conditions retrain their nervous systems through expert rehab and one-on-one therapy. Inspired by Bean's personal journey after she was paralyzed, she not only discovered the benefits of activity-based therapy but also met her co-founder, Nancy, a kinesiology student at the time. Together, they realized the immense need for a centre like this to help others beyond traditional physiotherapy and have since helped nearly 500 people, with clients travelling from places as far as Switzerland to access their services. Bean and Nancy share their journey opening a new business, the challenge of dealing with the Canadian healthcare system, and their hopes to open more centres throughout Canada in the future.

Is it possible to be sustainable and profitable as a business? Michelle Wong, founder of Bo, a software company focused on reusable containers, is on the podcast to share just how possible it is to run a green business. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, after a decade working a 9-to-5 in sales for an industrial cleaning solutions company, Michelle realized she wasn’t fulfilled in her career. That’s when she decided to start her entrepreneurial journey, which started with a tutoring franchise but pivoted into the reusable container space. Inspired by the increase in takeout due to the pandemic, she saw how big a need there was for a sustainable solution for food packaging. Since then, Bo has scaled from restaurants to festivals and cafeterias, reducing waste and a reliance on single-use plastic. Michelle shares how her social mission has always been at the forefront of her business, what barriers she’s faced as a woman founder, and goals for the future.

Most entrepreneurs walk an unexpected path, and Ashley Werhun, founder of Mentorly, is the perfect case study. Starting out her career as a professional ballerina who toured the world and performed hundreds of shows per year, when it was finally time to hang up her ballet flats, she took a very different direction by becoming a tech founder. Seeing that there was a big need for mentorship, well beyond just ballet, Ashley founded Mentorly, a B2B mentorship program and learning and development platform, to help companies invest in their people by using smart mentor matching and AI that seamlessly integrates into existing HR tools. With her diverse background, Ashley not only shares how she was able to make such a big career change, but also advice she’d give to people just starting out, such as building your audience before your product.

In this episode, I interview Ashley Cammisuli, founder of GLOW Beauty Bar, about her journey that started out in classical music and working at a record label, to launching a business in the highly competitive beauty industry. With her personal struggle with acne significantly impacting her confidence, she felt guided to a path where she could empower women through skincare, advanced aesthetics, and education. Starting out as a small mobile spray tanning service, Ashley’s business evolved into a now award-winning facial spa. Although GLOW Beauty Bar is growing today, Ashley shares how it nearly came to a halt because of Covid, and how pivoting her business ultimately saved it. Ashley shares the real-life ups and downs of entrepreneurship as well as her vision for the future — franchising.

For this episode of the series, I’m speaking with Mallory Maynard, founder of Gibbly, a Canadian company dedicated to helping teachers fight burnout and reclaim their time so they can be more effective educators. Though not a teacher herself, Mallory’s first company, which built mobile games to inspire girls in STEM, gave her firsthand insight into the challenges teachers face every day. Due to the advent of generative AI, she saw a huge opportunity to streamline tasks by creating an AI-powered teaching assistant to help teachers create curriculum-aligned lesson plans, presentations, and quizzes in a fraction of the time. Although Gibbly has since grown to over 50,000 users, Mallory also shares the sometimes difficult realities of being an entrepreneur and shares advice to others looking to start their own company.

For the first episode in this series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Linda Biggs, founder of joni, a Canadian period care brand that aims to revolutionize the industry while working to improve menstrual equity, accessibility and sustainability. Linda shares her unique entrepreneurial journey, which began after a long career in computer science and was inspired by the realization that 1 in 3 women under 25 cannot afford period care. This episode delves into how Linda started the company with her co-founder, how they navigated a challenging launch during COVID, and her best advice for other budding entrepreneurs.

I've got a special summer announcement! I know I mentioned I was going to take a longer-than-usual hiatus after 10 years of the podcast, but I got this great opportunity to do a special 6-part mini series focused on spotlighting Canadian women entrepreneurs that I couldn't pass up. So expect to see that air in August and September.
In addition, if you live near Coquitlam and Vancouver, British Columbia, I'll be doing two book signings while I'm there over these next two weeks, and I hope to see you there:
Saturday, July 19 - 10am to 1pm PT - Chapters Coquitlam

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 most vulnerable parts of my relationship with money I'd never told anyone before.
What an absolutely amazing ride this has been. But it's not over yet. Although I'll be taking a break over the next few months to recharge and reflect on what I want the next 10 years of this podcast to look like, I'm not going anywhere. This podcast has given me so much, and I know it's given you so much too. We've been on this personal finance journey together after all, and there's so much more to explore. Thank you so much for all of your support this past decade. I can't wait to see what exciting things are ahead.

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 hiring processes and unconscious (or conscious) biases at every step of the corporate ladder, and financial advice that was developed for men by men.
Katie has been very vocal about these topics on her Money with Katie podcast and newsletter, and she dives even deeper into them in her debut book Rich Girl Nation: Taking Charge of Our Financial Futures, which we explore in this episode.

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 face today, how side hustles are becoming an essential addition to any job, and how having a positive mindset and practicing self-care to avoid burnout and foster personal growth is key for any financial plan to work.

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, especially Black women, in similar circumstances, which led her to create a massive community online where she now teaches others how to build generational wealth, increase your income, and ultimately move beyond broke once and for all.

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.
