Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Wealthy Barber Podcast!

Our first guest is Preet Banerjee—one of the top financial educators in Canada, having been a regular for years on CBC's The National, renowned speaker and author of the bestselling book, “Stop Overthinking Your Money.” Recently, Preet completed a doctorate with his research focusing on the value of financial advice to Canadian households and how to improve the outcomes for the mass market.

In this episode, we discuss what Preet learned from his research and all things Canadian personal finance, from RRSPs versus TFSAs, to active versus passive investing, to whether investing in Canadian rental real estate still makes sense, to who has the better hair and much, much more. You'll enjoy this discussion with Preet Banerjee, a great communicator and a truly great guy.
