Mo' Money Podcast | Personal Finance With Jessica Moorhouse

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 CoquitlamSaturday, July 26 - 12pm to 3pm PT - Indigo Robson VancouverFollow 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.

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 you

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. For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/434Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessica

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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/433Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libr

Dan Bortolotti, a.k.a. The Canadian Couch Potato and well-respected investment portfolio manager and financial planner at PWL Capital, came on the show back in 2022 and shared exactly what you need to do to set up the right investment portfolio for you so you can reach your goals, keep your costs low, and spend hardly any time on it per year. Dan is a legend in the personal finance community, so I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!This episode originally aired on June 15, 2022.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/333Follow 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 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.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/432Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted

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.This episode originally aired on January 22, 2020.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/223Follow 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.

Leisa Peterson first came on the podcast in 2020 to talk about her first book The Mindful Millionaire, so I'm thrilled to welcome her back to talk about her new book The Money Catalyst where we deep-dive into the topics of scarcity, abundance, nurturing your inner wealth and transforming your relationship with money. What's also very different about her new book is that it's written as a narrative instead of a more traditional how-to style. If you know me, you know I love personal finance books written like this (like The Latte Factor and The Wealth Barber), so if you're like me, you'll love this book too!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/431Follow 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.

Too often, we confuse money for happiness, while it's simply a tool that can help us increase our happiness (to a limit). To talk about how to get your happy back and how to use money strategically to help you get there, for this episode, we're re-listening to my interview with Melissa Leong, author of Happy Go Money and money expert on The Social.

It’s been an interesting year for investing so far, which is why I’ve invited Amber Kanwar, former anchor and reporter on BNNBloomberg and now host of the top investing podcast In the Money, to come on show to talk about what’s going on with the markets now and what tips she’s learned from her years of interviewing the best investors in the country.

It's not about the latte! Most people (and money experts) misunderstand the true meaning of the latte factor, so who better to ask what it really means than co-author of The Latte Factor John David Mann. In this re-listen episode, we discussed what it was like writing this narrative-style personal finance book with bestselling author David Bach (The Automatic Millionaire), and the core messages of the book such as spending within your value system, setting strong financial goals, and never giving up on yourself, especially when times are tough.This episode originally aired on March 27, 2019.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/190Follow 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.

Knowing what we know now about money, I bet most of us would do things differently if we could go back in time. Although time machines don't exist, at least there's Shannon Lee Simmons' new book Making Bank: Money Skills for Real Life which was written specifically for teenagers so they can not only avoid repeating the same money mistakes we made, but they can learn all the skills they need to reach financial freedom during they most formative years. If you've got a teenager (or know someone who does), you're going to want to listen to this and then buy them a copy of this book!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/429Follow 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.

Want to know how to find your financial joy? Because at the end of the day, money is just a tool. It's not the end goal. But joy, peace and happiness certainly are and money can help you fulfill that. In this relisten episode, Ken Okoroafor, founder of The Humble Penny and now a best-selling author of Financial Joy: Banish Debt, Grow Your Money and Live Joyfully in 10 Weeks, shares his story of humble beginnings to reaching financial independence as well as tips on how we can all find our own version of financial joy.This episode originally aired on April 21, 2021.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/277Follow 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 spend most of our lives saving for retirement, but when we get there... what's next? In this episode originally released in 2019, I interview Mike Drak, author of retirement books like Victory Lap Retirement and Retirement - Heaven or Hell?, all about how to find your purpose in your retirement years, what it means to have a second career in retirement, and how to avoid some of the most common pitfalls for retirees like boredom and depression.This episode originally aired on October 16, 2019.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/208Follow 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.

The saying "Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life" is quite honestly a lie. Even if you find your passion and are doing a job you love, it's still a job. And sometimes it's not fun. Take it from me! I love working for myself, but it's still work. Not only that, I know so many people who have passions outside of work, and their job is just, well, their job. And that's okay, says author and now TED Talk speaker Simone Stolzoff in this interview I had with him in 2023. I hope you enjoy it and his book as much as I did.This episode originally aired on November 29, 2023.To find the original show notes for this episode 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.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had one or two terrible bosses during their career. And I remember thinking "If I had the chance, I would do everything differently." But how do you become a good boss when you finally get the opportunity and avoid repeating their mistakes? That's what I discuss in this episode with CEO coach and author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need) Sabina Nawaz who has decades of experience working with C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 companies and mega-institutions around the world.Starting her career at Microsoft, she went from managing software development teams to leading the company’s executive development and succession planning efforts for over 11,000 managers and nearly a thousand executives. Needless to say, she knows how to lead and what makes a good manager, which is why she wanted to share the guidebook on how to be a good leader, the pressures that can lead to bad management behaviours, and the importance of empathy

With everything that's going on between Canada and the U.S., a lot of us Canadians are rethinking our travel plans by staying on this side of the border to not only save money but to support our own economy. And one of the best ways to see our beautiful country is by travelling by RV. For this episode, I talk to Christopher Mahony, president of Go RVing Canada, a non-profit that's dedicated to promoting the RVing lifestyle in Canada. He shares the financial benefits of RV travel vs. air travel, the growing popularity of RVing among younger Canadians, the intricacies of RV ownership such as choosing between new and used RVs, and the future of electric RVs.This episode of the More Money Podcast is supported by Go RVing Canada.

I rarely have guests on the show to talk about real estate, especially real estate investing, since there are so many sharks out there trying to sell some get-rich-quick scheme or there are just so many other real estate-specific podcasts already out there. But when I had the chance to meet Daniel Foch and Nick Hill at an event recently, I knew I had to have them both on the show to fill us all in on what's going on with the Canadian real estate market. Not only do they host The Canadian Real Estate Investor Podcast, but they also have years of experience working in real estate in a variety of roles as well. They also have personal experience with homeownership and real estate investing too. We go through a lot in this episode, so if you're thinking "Is this a good time to buy a home or sell my property?" you're gonna want to listen to this.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/426Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhou
