More Money Podcast

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 children never had to experience going without like he did. He's always had such an optimistic nature, I think that must helped him along the way. I feel so lucky to share his story with you.

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 bestseller 7 years after it was published. It’s an incredible memoir about her upbringing, her personal and financial evolution, and of course her shopping ban story that went viral in the media. Here’s my interview with her when her book first came out which first aired on February 14, 2018.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/144Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.

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 Going Broke: Transform Your Spending and Get More of What Money Can't Buy. They wanted to help people transform their spending by cutting out the noise so they could finally start listening to their own needs, wants, and values so they can feel empowered, not shamed, for how they spend their money. You may remember Jen and Jill from episode 351 where they shared their stories of getting out of debt and finding freedom through frugality. If you liked that episode, you'll love this one and their new book!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/419Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/418Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/417Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/416Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/415Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.This episode of the More Money Podcast is presented by National Bank Direct Brokerage, the first broker from a Canadian bank to offer online trading of stocks and ETFs for zero commissions.

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.This episode of the More Money Podcast is made in collaboration with National Bank Direct Brokerage, the first broker from a Canadian bank to offer online trading of stocks and ETFs for zero commissions.

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.This episode of the More Money Podcast is supported by Saily, a new eSIM service app by Nord Security.

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.This episode of the More Money Podcast is supported by Saily, a new eSIM service app by Nord Security.

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).This episode of the More Money Podcast is presented by National Bank Direct Brokerage, the first broker from a Canadian bank to offer online trading of stocks and ETFs for zero commissions.

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.This episode of the More Money Podcast is presented by National Bank Direct Brokerage, the first broker from a Canadian bank to offer online trading of stocks and ETFs for zero commissions.

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. For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/408Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.This episode of the More Money Podcast is presented by National Bank Direct Brokerage, the first broker from a Canadian bank to offer online trading of stocks and ETFs for zero commissions.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/405Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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!).For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/404Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/403Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/402Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/401Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

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. For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/400Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

I've been a big fan of Brian Preston and The Money Guy Show for years, so it was so fun having Brian on the show to talk money and discuss his new book Millionaire Mission: A 9-Step System to Level-Up Your Finances and Build Wealth. The reason I was initially drawn to Brian, besides his super friendly demeanour (and that amazing southern accent), is he just tells it like it is. No fluff. No BS. Just damn good financial advice. And that's because he has over 25 years of financial planning experience, so he's seen it all and he knows bad advice or people just trying to get clicks online when he sees it. But more than that, you can tell that he genuinely loves helping people improve their financial lives, which is likely why he's helped millions of people over the years get out of debt, save more money, and build wealth through his podcasts, YouTube channel, courses, social media posts, and his Abound Wealth Management company. For anyone looking for a clear guide on how to build wealth so they can eventually become a millionaire, Brian has some great strategies he shares in this episode as well as his book (which don't forget, I'm giving away a copy of!).For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/399Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

It's been over a year since my last solo episode, and oh boy did I have fun with it! Thank you to everyone who submitted a question. I tried my best to get to most of them, but if I'm honest, some of them were just too specific so on those cases, as I mention in the episode, I'd suggest hiring a fee-only financial planner to get specific financial advice which is something I can't provide through the podcast. I hope to do more of these in the future, maybe even make it a regular thing, but for now, enjoy!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/398Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

If you're self-employed in Canada, listen up because this episode is for you! Since posting some videos about setting up a small business and figuring out income tax and sales tax on my YouTube channel years ago, I still get questions about write-offs, tax rules, and registering a business on the daily. But I'm not an accountant, so often I have to tell people to seek professional advice from a CPA. Enter my next guest Jami Monte who is a CPA and has a ton of great resources including a course all about how to set up your small business properly in Canada. In this episode, she shares some new tax updates if you haven't filed your 2023 taxes yet, but for the most part, we just do a deep dive on the most common questions I get from self-employed folks about bookkeeping, accounting and making sure they are doing everything right.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/397Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

With finfluencers everywhere talking about 6-figure incomes and starting a side hustle, is it even possible to build wealth, reach your financial goals and retire one day working a 9-to-5? It sure is, and that's one of the reasons I invited Nathan Kennedy, who you may know from TikTok or Instagram as NewMoneyNate, to talk all about it. In this podcast episode, Nathan not only shares his tips for employees to earn smarter, not harder while living the life they want, but we also discuss financial certifications and the lack thereof with many financial content creators (and whether it really matters), Nathan's journey from 9-to-5er to full-time financial literacy educator, common money mistakes he hears from his audience, and career and negotiation advice that actually works.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/396Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Fans of The Bachelorette/Bachelor... I've got a treat for you! Jason Tartick, former constant on The Bachelorette (Season 14) is on the show! As an expert in the financial field, with an MBA in accounting and finance and a decade of experience in banking, but also because hey, he put his love life out there and isn't afraid to talk about it, in his second book to hits shelves, he's the perfect person to talk to about how to balance love and money. It also makes sense why he wrote his second book to hit shelves, Talk Money to Me: The 8 Essential Financial Questions to Discuss With Your Partner. In this episode, Jason shares a behind-the-scenes look at his time on reality TV looking for love, as well as his best advice for couples on how to navigate the complicated realm of money together. We also talk about financial red flags to be aware of, combining your finances (or not), the importance of prenups, and why no matter how awkward it may be, for any relationship to thrive, you need to talk about money!To enter to win a copy of his book, make sure to visit jessicamoorhouse.com/contest to enter to win.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/395Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

It's always exciting to have another Jessica on the show and I've got the amazing Jessica Spangler on the podcast today! Doctor by day and financial content creator by night, she has just come out with her first book called Invest Like a Girl aimed at empowering women to take control of their finances and build wealth. Because as the data shows, women are actually really, really good at investing. However, data also shows that many women are still hoarding cash instead of investing it, and this needs to change (especially since statistically we live longer than men so we need that extra money!). In this episode, we delve into what inspired Jessica to take her finances seriously and start teaching others about it on the side, what barriers women face when it comes to financial education, earning higher incomes and taking action with their money, and some practical steps to get started right after this episode. And one of those steps could be to check out my very own investing course called Wealth Building Blueprint for Canadians.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/394Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Are you leaving money on the table by not collecting rewards? Or maybe you don't think it's worth the time and energy of signing up and remembering to scan your card (or use the app) to collect? Well, to hopefully change your mind and get you to start earning rewards on things you're already spending money on, for this episode, I'm joined by President of AIR MILES Shawn Stewart who shares what big changes have happened to the program, what innovations are to come, and how you can take advantage of this free program to earn miles and redeem for travel, merchandise and so much more.I've actually been an AIR MILES member since I was in my early 20s and it was the first rewards program I ever signed up to since I remember being told by my mom that if you're not collecting rewards, you're missing out on free money. And it's true. Over the years, I've been able to redeem my miles for gift cards, free groceries, and merchandise, and it costs me nothing to participate besides the time it takes for me to whip out my card (or the app) and scan it whenever I'm doing my shopping. I've always been of the mind that loyalty programs should be part of everyone's financial plan, so hopefully you'll learn a few things about why rewards are important, why you should take advantage, and what are the best ways to earn and redeem AIR MILES specifically.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/393Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do there's never enough? Never enough time. Never enough stuff. And especially never enough money. If you said yes, you're not alone. For most of us humans, we're stuck in a scarcity loop without knowing how we got there or how to get out. Luckily, there is a way out, and New York Times bestselling author of Scarcity Brain, Michael Easter, is on the show to talk all about it.For your reference, the scarcity loop is: Opportunity -> Unpredictable Reward -> Quick Repeatability. Once you understand this, you can start seeing how it appears in all aspects of your life and how it can especially impact your financial present and future. But as Michael shares in his book, although scarcity helped our ancestors survive in a world where there wasn't enough, it's actually hurting us in this new world of abundance. The only way to combat this is to become aware of our triggers and behaviours and reevaluate what success and fulfillment mean outside of consumerism.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/392Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

It's been a tough road for millennials and Gen Zs with mountains of student debt, recessions, layoffs, and housing prices going through the roof to deal with. But as my next guest shares in this episode, all hope isn't lost and it's still possible to live your best financial life and have a comfortable retirement. Anne Lester, author of Your Best Financial Life, has been hailed as a "pioneer and innovator" by Morningstar and has worked in all aspects of retirement for the past 30 years. In other words, she's seen plenty of ups and downs in the markets and people's financial lives and still believes that anyone can change their financial future if they follow the strategic path she sets out in her book. She was able to become "work optional" at 60 and hopes to teach as many people as she can how they can take control of their financial destinies and live a better financial life moving forward.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/391Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

When my Canadian listeners ask me "I want to get a hold of my money, but I don't know where to start, also I'm looking for something that's free..." that's when I direct them to one of the best free personal finance resources around — the McGill Personal Finance Essentials course. Having first launched in November 2019 as free way to improve Canadians' financial literacy, it now boasts over 200,000 participants, and lucky you (and me), I've got Dr. Benjamin Croitoru on the podcast to talk all about it! Benjamin serves as the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and an Assistant Professor of Finance, McGill Desautels Faculty of Management. But more importantly, he's the Academic Director of the McGill Personal Finance Essentials online course and has been vital in its development and in helping so many Canadians level up their financial lives over the past 5 years. I wanted to bring him on the show to share why the course was built, what you can expect as a student, and some of the key things every Canadian should know about money. He even shares some of his best money tips, financial pitfalls to avoid and top book recommendations too. So I hope after you listen to today's episode, you'll take another step on your personal finance journey and take this free 8-module course. Did I mention you get a certificate upon completion to boot?For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/390Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

What's the best path to carve out a successful career for yourself, especially if you're a woman who has to navigate unique biases and barriers like the gender pay gap and the motherhood penalty? Let's ask my next guests Grace Puma, former PepsiCo COO and Christiana Smith Shi, former Nike President of Consumer Direct. Not only have both women built decades-long careers from scratch reaching the coveted C-Suite, but they've also joined forces to share all the wisdom they've learned along the way in their new book Career Forward: Strategies from Women Who've Made It. The facts are that as women, it's still harder to reach certain career heights since we don't yet live in a perfectly equitable world. But that shouldn't stop us from trying, especially since it also means making it easier for future generations to get to the top. There are so many amazing pieces of career (and life) advice in this episode, but I think my favourite ones are thinking of your career as a growth stock and focusing on your career, not your job.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/389Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

How would your relationship with money change if you had a terminal illness? Let me tell you right now, it would have a huge impact on it! This is why I wanted to have Jeremie Saunders on the show to share his story. He's the co-host of the Sickboy Podcast and lives with cystic fibrosis. From an early age, he knew that having CF would cut his lifespan short, which on the one hand made him live life to the fullest but on the other, meant he didn't think too far into the future when it came to his money. That is until he was introduced to a new drug that would lengthen his life exponentially. This meant that things like getting married and starting a family were no longer out of reach, but it also meant he needed to start thinking about tackling his finances and building long-term wealth. In this episode, Jeremie provides insight into his battle with CF, how provincial healthcare has played a significant role in his life and career, and how he hopes his Sickboy Podcast can not only put a spotlight on living with illness but why it's so important to have open conversations about health, wealth, and our own mortality.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/388Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

And we're back with Season 18 of the More Money Podcast! I think it's finally not "too soon" to talk about the pandemic and what the heck happened (right?). That's why I invited Scott Fulford on the show, a senior economist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the author of the newly released book The Pandemic Paradox: How the COVID Crisis Made Americans More Financially Secure. I know, that sounds a bit odd doesn't it? How could people have become more financially secure when all the news headlines talked about were layoffs and people struggling to pay their bills? Well, as Scott discovered in his research and interviews with Americans across the country, although many people did have a tough time riding out the COVID wave, the majority actually thrived financially. But why was this? That's what you'll learn by listening to the full episode.

It's the Season 17 finale and to wrap up yet another incredible season, I've got Vivian Tu of on the show to share her journey of being raised by immigrant parents, getting into an elite university to make her parents proud, becoming the lone woman of colour Wall Street trader on her team, then leaving it all for the world of Tiktok to become one of the most followed finfluencers who's been able to amass a net worth north of a million dollars in only two years. Oh, and did I mention she also has a new book coming out (that you can enter to win!) called ? As someone who has been a financial educator and influencer for close to 12 years, it was so fascinating for me to learn how Vivian was able to skyrocket into online popularity during the height of Covid while sticking to her Wall Street roots by making sure to educate her young following about the key things they should know about money and building wealth while staying true to her values. The podcast will be on break for January but expect to see Season 18 in February so I can finish writing my own book that will be out next winter!For full episode show notes visit: jessicamoorhouse.com/386Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Money can be a simple thing, but it can also be complex when you take into account one important factor — people. Financial content creator and new author is on the podcast today to discuss her new book, , as well how we all need to adopt a more shame-free and trauma-aware approach to money. You see, there's a reason managing money and building wealth comes easy to some and not others. For Ellyce, she realized that her identity as a queer woman with ADHD played a much larger role in her finances than she initially realized. So just think, what does your identity say about your money? Does it mean you face certain barriers that others don't? Does it mean it takes you longer to learn? Does it mean you'll struggle more with things like sticking to a budget or overcoming your anxiety with investing compared to others? The answer is a resounding YES! Personal finance is personal as they say, but often I think that important fact is still overlooked or ignored by many.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/385Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

I'm so excited to have my next guest come back for a second time on the show because she's not only that much closer to achieving her goal of financial independence but she's also just published her first book on how we can all follow in her footsteps! I'm talking about , the host of the Journey to Launch podcast who you may remember from . Her new book, Your Journey To Financial Freedom A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Wealth and Happiness, goes in-depth about what specific steps we all should be taking to save more, pay down debt, and ultimately build more wealth so we can live more and be able to pass down more wealth to future generations. Although Jamila has reached some big milestones recently, it's been a long journey to get where she is. Her journey actually started with paying down $169,000 in debt in just two years, while also balancing running a full-time business and being a mom of three young children in Brooklyn, New York. If you're looking for some motivation to either start or continue your own personal finance journey, you need to listen to this episode.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/384Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

I've been teasing this episode throughout the season because Simone Stolzoff's book just so happens to be one of the best books I've read all year (and I can't shut up about it). In the personal finance space, we often talk about working, earning an income, getting raises and promotions, and the ultimate dream of having a career you're passionate about. But the reality is... work is still work even if it is your passion. Not only that, there are a ton of downsides to working a job you're passionate about as Simone shares stories about in his book. Maybe there is something to be said for keeping your life and livelihood separate. Maybe you don't have to be passionate about your job but can funnel that passion into your personal life instead. Maybe Mark Twain was full of crap when he was quoted as saying "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life." As a journalist, designer, author and now someone who quit his 9-to-5 to work for himself, Simone joins me on the podcast to discuss why having a job that's good enough may actually be what we should be striving for instead of a career that tries to fulfill us in every possible way.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/383Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Why is there still a gender pay gap? Why are women so often criticized or penalized for being ambitious and career-focused? Why is it so much harder for women to build the same kind of wealth and achieve the same form of success as men when they follow the same rules? These are some big questions to ask, which is why I invited back on the show to try to answer them. Since Stefanie was first on , all the way back in 2016, a lot has changed since then. Over the past few years, she's launched the website as well as an award-winning newsletter of the same name to tackle topics often overlooked in the personal finance space such as the gender pay gap, the motherhood penalty, and other barriers that women in particular face when it comes to building wealth and successful careers compared to their male counterparts. In our discussion together, Stefanie not only shares her take on some of the hot-button issues, but she also brings receipts in the form of hard data and academic studies.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/382Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

This is a very special episode for all my Canadian listeners who are also fans of Canadian personal finance YouTuber . Having amassed over 140,000 subscribers on YouTube and millions of views, Adrian has been consistent with his get-rich-slowly approach to teaching Canadians about taxes, investing, and saving their money. And what's even more exciting about having him on the show is I had Adrian over at my home studio to do the recording! I haven't done this since 2019, and it was seriously such a blast talking about his journey from working in AI to becoming a full-time content creator, his investment philosophy and strategies he lives by, and of course his top money tips for listeners like you.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/381Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

What's it like to be an Olympian, a Cirque du Soleil performer, and a Vice President of Entertainment and Pictures for Shark Tank Robert Herjavec's company? Well, that's why I've got my next guest on the show to tell me, in addition to sharing the lessons she's learned about reinventing herself (multiple times) which she documents in her new book . Mary learned the value of a dollar early in life when her dad passed away when she was 8 and her mom had to raise her and her siblings on a single income. Inspired by her dad's legacy as a Big Ten Champion, she started taking gymnastics seriously and soon became a two-time Canadian Champion in Rhythmic Gymnastics. Keen to reach her full potential, she started competing for the U.S. and eventually made it to the 2004 Olympics. But what happens when you've aged out of professional sports? You need to reinvent yourself, which is what Mary did by starting a new career with Cirque du Soleil. But after several years as a performer, she realized she needed to pivot again, which brought her to her current career in business. Mary's story of starting from almost nothing to becoming a champion gymnast to then having to switch careers multiple times should serve as inspiration for us all that life isn't a straight and narrow path and it's okay to experience setbacks in life. What's important is to keep going, changing, and being open to what life has in store for you next.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/380Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Money isn't everything, and it most certainly shouldn't be the thing that dictates where your life takes you (or holds you hostage). No one knows this better than Mick Heyman, author of . After working in wealth management for 40 years, he realized he wasn't happy where he was and had been chasing the money to a life he couldn't even recognize anymore. That's when he made a big change, moved from Louisville, Kentucky to San Diego, and finally started living life on his terms. His years of experience in finance and life change (that turned out to be one of the best decisions he ever made) inspired him to share his experience and best financial tips with others in his new book so we all can learn how to mellow our money a bit more.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/379Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

It’s not easy immigrating to a new country and trying to navigate a new workplace with different shorthand, customs, and rules… especially when that workplace isn’t set up so all employees feel seen, heard, and safe no matter their background. This was Ayo Owodunni’s initial experience when he immigrated to Canada from Nigeria back in 2016, before he became a City Counsellor for Kitchener Ontario and a management consultant for large-scale organizations such as Spotify, Canada Life, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, CIBC, TMX Group and Hydro One. Seeing as over the past 5 years, Canada has welcomed over 1.5 million immigrants, with 6 out of 10 being economic migrants with years of professional experience and education, Ayo realized fairly quickly in his work that big change needed to happen on the institutional level. This is what inspired him to write his new book The Immigrant View to help companies develop a more inclusive culture and take advantage of the extensive skill sets that newcomers to Canada bring to the table as employees. In this episode, we discuss the specific challenges that immigrants may face in the workplace, the qualities of inclusive leadership, the importance of cultural intelligence, as well as practical steps for building a harmonious and diverse team.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/378Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.
