			<video:title>What is a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)?</video:title>
			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/e3Iu1JrhaMY</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>What is a TFSA? In a nutshell, a TFSA is a tax-shelter for your investments. Despite what the name implies, a TFSA is more than just a simple savings account—you can hold a wide range of investments and securities inside a TFSA. For some of the best TFSA savings account, check out https://www.ratehub.ca/savings-accounts/accounts/tfsa 

The reason it’s called a Tax-Free Savings Account is because all the earnings generated by the investments in your TFSA aren’t taxed and therefore your investments or savings can grow tax-free.

The greatest benefit of the TFSA is the tax-free growth that it provides to your investments. This allows your savings to grow much faster than they would elsewhere. For example, if you’re invested in a stock and it doubles in value, holding it in your TFSA means you wouldn’t have to pay any capital gains tax on your earnings. If this stock pays out a dividend, you wouldn’t be taxed on that either. This rule applies to all investments held in a TFSA. 

There are limits to how much you’re allowed to contribute to your Tax-Free Savings Account. The TFSA contribution limit, also called the annual TFSA limit, is the maximum amount you’re allowed to contribute to your TFSA in a given year. If you go over the limit, you’ll be subject to penalties. There are no limits to how many TFSAs you can open, but your total contributions between all of them during the year must not exceed your allowable limit.

In order to open a TFSA, you need to have a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN) and you need to be at least the age of majority in the province or territory that you live in.
That means if you live in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec, or Saskatchewan, you need to be 18 or older.
If you live in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or Yukon, you have to be at least 19 years old to open a TFSA.

			<video:title>What is an RRSP?</video:title>
			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/ggj2bv7azyQ</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>What is an RRSP?

A registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is a government-approved account that allows Canadians to plan for retirement. First introduced in 1957, RRSPs provide a way for individuals to save and invest their money in a tax-efficient manner. Annual contributions to an RRSP can be used as a tax deduction, which reduces the amount of tax a person will pay on their income. In addition, all capital gains and dividends aren’t taxed a long as the money remains in the RRSP.

How does an RRSP work?
Every year, Canadians with “earned” income (salaries or wages from a job) who file a tax return may contribute money to an RRSP. The contribution limit is defined as either 18% of your previous year’s earned income or a specified amount set by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), whichever is less.

This contribution may then be used as a deduction when filing for the previous year’s taxes. For example, if you contribute $2,000 to your RRSP, your income is then reduced by $2,000 for the purpose of calculating the tax you owe.

Canadians are permitted to hold a wide variety of investments in their RRSPs. Some common RRSP investments include GICs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, cash and more. 

There are three main benefits of having an RRSP:

1. You get a tax deduction—Contributing to an RRSP gives you a deduction when you file your taxes. What this means is that your taxable income is reduced, which lowers the amount of tax you’ll pay. It may also put you into a lower tax bracket.

2. Money grows tax-free—As long as the money remains in your RRSP, all capital gains and dividend/interest income won’t be taxed. This allows your RRSP to grow significantly until such time as you either withdraw money or reach the age of 71.

3. Tax deferral—Money held in an RRSP (both the contributions and investment gains) won’t be tax-free forever. You’ll pay tax on the money when you withdraw it, presumably at retirement. However, for most people their marginal tax rate will be lower in retirement, so by deferring the tax until you’re older, you will end up paying less.

			<video:title>What is an RRSP?</video:title>
			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/ggj2bv7azyQ</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>What is an RRSP?

A registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is a government-approved account that allows Canadians to plan for retirement. First introduced in 1957, RRSPs provide a way for individuals to save and invest their money in a tax-efficient manner. Annual contributions to an RRSP can be used as a tax deduction, which reduces the amount of tax a person will pay on their income. In addition, all capital gains and dividends aren’t taxed a long as the money remains in the RRSP.

How does an RRSP work?
Every year, Canadians with “earned” income (salaries or wages from a job) who file a tax return may contribute money to an RRSP. The contribution limit is defined as either 18% of your previous year’s earned income or a specified amount set by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), whichever is less.

This contribution may then be used as a deduction when filing for the previous year’s taxes. For example, if you contribute $2,000 to your RRSP, your income is then reduced by $2,000 for the purpose of calculating the tax you owe.

Canadians are permitted to hold a wide variety of investments in their RRSPs. Some common RRSP investments include GICs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, cash and more. 

There are three main benefits of having an RRSP:

1. You get a tax deduction—Contributing to an RRSP gives you a deduction when you file your taxes. What this means is that your taxable income is reduced, which lowers the amount of tax you’ll pay. It may also put you into a lower tax bracket.

2. Money grows tax-free—As long as the money remains in your RRSP, all capital gains and dividend/interest income won’t be taxed. This allows your RRSP to grow significantly until such time as you either withdraw money or reach the age of 71.

3. Tax deferral—Money held in an RRSP (both the contributions and investment gains) won’t be tax-free forever. You’ll pay tax on the money when you withdraw it, presumably at retirement. However, for most people their marginal tax rate will be lower in retirement, so by deferring the tax until you’re older, you will end up paying less.

Our guest on the show today is Eric Dolansky. Eric received his PhD and MBA from the Richard Ivey Business School at Western University.

[6:19 -  7:16] Quick decisions we make on price, but we should step back and really think about it. 

[7:17 - 10:08] Wine pricing at restaurants. Why it goes from cheapest to most expensive. Why is that? Eric explains the psychology behind wine lists.

[10:09 - 12:09] Does the same apply to gas prices? Are people accepting of gas pricing or will there be a tipping point?

[12:10 - 14:32] What made so many Canadians buy toilet paper in COVID? 

[14:33 - 16:49] Will some companies feel negative effects from overpricing products during the pandemic?

[19:20 - 21:44] Do you think Canadian consumers will be ready to spend money on travel? When will the travel industry recover?

[21:45 - 24:45] Do you see Canadians will only buy online after COVID? Will retail recover? 

[24:46 - 26:29] Do Canadians have a debt problem? Why do Canadians have a debt problem?

			<video:title>Real Money Talk Podcast with Shawnn &amp; Dee - The wealthy barber and stylist</video:title>

[0:00 - 1:17] Intro

[1:18 -  2:55] Opening monologue 

David Chilton’s book, “The Wealthy Barber,” tells us that if a barber can be wealthy, given how much they make, anyone can. The rules are simple. Live below your means, learn how to save, start an emergency fund, and as early as you can, pay yourself first - 10% of your earnings should go to investing. It doesn’t have to be complicated, these days you can use a robo advisor like Wealthsimple, Questwealth, or JustWealth, and let the algorithm do most of the work for you.  

You need to pay off any credit card debt, diversify your investments, and as we age, we should set up wills, get life insurance for our dependents, pay off your mortgage in your 50’s, and have 8x your salary saved by your 60’s. If you want a plan, ask the wealthy barber, read his book, it's a classic of personal finance. We decided the idea of a wealthy barber is one worth exploring. 

So, we reached out to Shawnnn, owner of the Pretty Rugged Hair Co and Dee, a stylist at Educo Salon to ask them about money and gain insights from their two unique perspectives.
We talk about the industry, building a business, and earning clients. 

What shines through to me though, is how universal the learnings are. How we can apply what they say to our own lives. Life is a journey, happiness - a never ending pursuit. 
We must chase our dreams, and if we do, the money will come. If we’re happy in our work, if we’re passionate about what we do, then we figure out how to live our lives according to the money we earn. That’s real wealth, and this is Real Money Talk. 

[2:56  -  7:23] Introductions and Money Mistakes - Overspending at the barbershop, Buying the wrong cape, Too late vintage coat, Not buying childhood fun

[7:24 - 9:03] Shawnn - How did you arrive at being a barber and hairdresser? What was the path to get here? 


[9:04 - 12:Dee - What’s your story?And Who is Vidal Sasoon? 

[12:45 - 13:06] Shawnn and Dee are engaged - Hair brings the romance out in all of us. A

[13:07 - 16:06] Tell me about Hair School. That’s a dedicated decision. Is there a certification for hair cutting? Can you not walk into a salon and start cutting hair? Shawnn was only able to attend school with the help of government programs because of how expensive it is. 

[16:07 - 17:54] Shawnn - it’s like trades, you have to work on the job. 

[17:55 - 19:11] What does your day look like at a barber shop or salon, Shawnn? Why did Shawnn leave the salon shop?

[19:12 - 19:59] But now it’s different owning a barbershop. Manage expenses like rent. How do you do it as an entrepreneur?

[20:00 - 21:54] Dee’s day in a salon is very different from Shawnn’s. Much busier, many technical roles. Balayage specialist. Colorist. Assistants. Front desk. Highlights. Blow outs. Cuts. Wash-outs. Bridal. Extensions. 

[21:55 - 27:04] How much money does a barber make? How much does a stylist make? Do you pay for chairs like rent? What are the general costs of being a hairdresser or barber? Scissors are more than $20. Dee works on commission, but there are different situations. Start with a base salary, likely hourly. You need social media to succeed long term. 

[27:05 - 27:51] Shawnn - How’s your social media game? What are your water bills like? Real investment is your time. 

[27:52 - 28:49] Dee - It takes 4 years to build a client base. 

[28:50 - 29:33] Shawnn, did you bring your clients over? People want to use what’s easy. 

[29:34 - 32:08]  Touch on some of the tools. If you’re a brand new barber, what tools do you use? How much does it cost? Shears are $450-$2,000, plus sharpening. But you don’t want’em super sharp. 

[32:09 -  33:39] Dee - You have to keep educating yourself, invest in yourself. 

[33:40 - 36:21] With all these costs, how important is tipping? How much should people be tipping? How does a stylist get paid?  Some stylists make less than minimum wage. 

[36:22 - 37:05] Are there common misconceptions about being a stylist? What should a client know? 
Dee gets asked a lot if it’s a part time job or still in school. 

[37:06 - 38:39] Do you want to have a conversation with the guest? 
Shawnn leaves it to the individual. But no politics or religion. 

[38:40 - 40:09] Dee is a chatterbox. Clients are like family. Dee’s sister wants her hair cut by Shawnn. 

[40:10 -   48:03] Rapid fire questions -What’s in your wallet? Favourite book you think everyone should read, Favourite movie, What are you binge watching? Biggest mistake a new barber will make? Best piece of advice you’ve received, and If you could have a billboard on the side of the Trans Canada Highway - what would you want it to tell the world?

[48:04 - 40:46] Financial tip of the week. Should I save for retirement in a TFSA or an RRSP?

			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/GAUHItdNM9Q</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>Jon Montgomery took time out of his busy schedule to speak with the Real Money Talk Podcast about his thoughts on what it takes to make it as an Olympian, how to overcome the financial hurdles, and staying motivated in life.

[0:00 - 3:12] Intro

[3:13 - 7:19] Money Mistakes - Apple computer repair, skating lessons, getting scammed and gouged

[7:20 - 9:06] The Jon Montgomery Story - Were you always interested in pursuing Olympics? His start as an auctioneer and in car sales and wanting to represent Canada on the world stage. You need passion. 

[9:07 - 11:10] I thought it was a luge accident. I wanted to represent Canada. I saw Theo Fleury win a gold. Berating the French judge for collusion. TSN Turning Point. 

[11:11 - 12:43] Are you a speed demon at heart? I wanted to try something hair brained and bananas. I went Sky Diving. I was seeking out challenges. I approached fear, pushed past it, and came to terms with it. 

[12:44 - 14:39] If you fear something, you should move towards it. Yes, absolutely - wife, college, university, olympics - all were cause for pause. Overcoming inertia is incredibly difficult. To keep it moving is much easier. Gotta take the first steps. The experience in the world today, means we have to do it now, because it takes so much effort. 

[14:40 - 19:10] You need money to pursue dreams. How did you fund your training and make ends meet? How did you survive? What would you tell future Olympians about funding? I’m lucky and privileged. My parents gave me a beat up car and saved for my education. I didn’t have the burden of student loans. My parents championed going to school. I wasn’t going to get a free ride. Take the risk of bestowing an education upon yourself. I had a trade that allowed me to find opportunities in sport. A bank will give you credit with an education. 

[19:11 - 22:11] Debt isn’t bad, you need it to build credit. With kids of your own, will you pay for their education? You have to think about it now with RESPs. If you help people, you will get what you want. I never sold a car, I solved transportation problems. Hopefully there are scholarships. Our kids will be average and normal. Expecting otherwise is wishful thinking. 

[23:12 - 26:22] What if your kids wanted to pursue the Olympics? What advice would you give about funding for Canadian Athletes? I’m opportunistic. Do it because you love it. Work towards it. Don’t do it for the glory, but because you love it. There are multiple rewards. Know your with, trying it and you’ll learn. Attitude shapes our lives. Perspective is everything. Attitude will determine success. 

[26:23 - 27:09] Tyler’s friend is training his son to throw left handed to make the MLB. Let your kid have fun. 

[27:10 - 31:45] Your attitude is always on display. Talk to us about your charitable initiatives Kidsport and RightToPlay. Being a part of something bigger than yourself is important. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. I failed to qualify for the 2014 Olympics. Sport is a right. Playing is a right. We need to be celebrated individually. That can happen in sports. Your place in society is created in structured organized sport. 

[31:46 - 33:49] Sandra’s kid is able to take drama much better because of sport. School drama goes away because of being on a team. Perspective is everything. Sport is an outlet to realize life is multi faceted. It’s easier to not internalize the bad. 

[33:50 - 37:39] Do you think all your experiences have helped you in your life now? Retrospectively, when you look back at everything is where you gain insights, that’s where the lessons are found. Martina and Phil from season 6 of Amazing Race Canada - out of their comfort zone - watching someone overcome adversity, you understand it much better. I revere people who push through the struggle. 

[37:40 - 47:49] RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS  - What’s in your wallet? What’s your favourite book? Favourite sport to watch, play and - do you still skeleton? What are you binge watching right now? Have you seen Free Solo? What’s the biggest mistake a future Olympian can make? What does your billboard say?

[47:50 -  50:32] Financial tip for the week - You need to build an emergency fund. Here’s how.

			<video:title>Real Money Talk Podcast with Mike Evin - musician</video:title>
			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/L-Z7wf14PVg</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>With the rising cost of living and the way, people purchase music evolving rapidly over the last few years, working as a musician seems only possible as a side-hustle or passion project.

The mere idea of a musician working for a living nowadays seems far fetched, almost near impossible.

But for this week’s Ratehub.ca’s Real Money Talk guest, Mike Evin, is a full time working musician currently living in Toronto, Ontario.

Evin’s work as a musician spans nearly two decades, with full-length albums, a handful of EPs, and a few charming music videos. 

He’s also worked with Juno-nominated producers, and earned regular playtime on CBC Music. 

Evin’s also earned nods from some of Canada’s most notable working musicians, (like Dan Mangan and Sarah Harmer), and shared the stage with staples of Canada’s professional musician industry (like the Barenaked Ladies and Ron Sexsmith.)
 
We spoke with Mike Evin about the ins-and-outs of what life as a working musician is like, how musicians make ends meet today, and other topics, including insider tips and tricks on how musicians can make the most of their time working in the competitive music industry.

This podcast is brought to you by EQ Bank and the EQ Bank Savings plus account. 

[0:00 - 3:36] Intro

[3:36 - Money Mistakes and Money Makeups - losing money as a musician, too much alcohol, cancelled gigs

[6:24 - 7:29] Tell us the Mike Evin story - playing music as a kid, jazz as a teenager, high school band, late teens writing songs. 

[7:30 - 8:24] When was the first time you thought you could make money as a musician? 

[8:25 - 11:29] Did you play in small clubs? WHat’s the earliest memories of making money as a musician? Great story about the real life struggles of getting paid as a musician.  
[11:30 - 13:14] What would you say to a self employed musician in getting paid well. Should a musician accept drinks as payment? You need confidence and love and respect. 

[13:15 - 16:34] Venues are shutting down. How does an artist stand up for themselves? People shouldn’t be happy with whatever they can get, but take it gig by gig. The three thing rule - pay, quality of music, and the hang. You need two of those. 

[16:35 - 20:24] How do musicians earn money these days after a decade of streaming and file sharing? Limewire, Napster and now subscription based services like Napster. 
For every 1 million streams you get $4,000 - it’s not worth it.  THere needs to be other sources. You need to diversify. Neighboring rights

[20:25 - 22:09] There’s a lot of money that goes out when making music. How do you find that balance? It’s not a regular 9-5 job with a bi weekly paycheck. How do you manage the cash flow? 

[22:10 - 23:29] How long does it take to fill out a money grant? Does it have to be 100% made in Canada? Yes, there are stipulations - they can be political, quality of music, but there are far more criteria. Making money from ticket sales, merchandise, Socan. 

[23:30 - Is Canadian content (CANCON) rules restrictive - does that restrict our artists growing out of Canada? 

All Canadian record labels, if you took grant funding away, you’d go bankrupt. 

[26:51 - 29:02] About visas to work in the United States. You need a US Visa to work. Be careful crossing the border without a proper visa. You don’t want to get screwed. What’s the best way fans can support their favourite artists where streaming is the norm?

[29:03 - 29:59] We had a song on the TV show Letterkenny - Zack learns a lesson. Mike teaches him - how come you don’t get royalties from Socan for having your music in the show? 
In this day and age, it’s so easy to educate yourself about money. Leave no stone unturned.

			<video:title>Real Money Talk Podcast with Mike Evin - musician</video:title>
			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/L-Z7wf14PVg</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>With the rising cost of living and the way, people purchase music evolving rapidly over the last few years, working as a musician seems only possible as a side-hustle or passion project.

The mere idea of a musician working for a living nowadays seems far fetched, almost near impossible.

But for this week’s Ratehub.ca’s Real Money Talk guest, Mike Evin, is a full time working musician currently living in Toronto, Ontario.

Evin’s work as a musician spans nearly two decades, with full-length albums, a handful of EPs, and a few charming music videos. 

He’s also worked with Juno-nominated producers, and earned regular playtime on CBC Music. 

Evin’s also earned nods from some of Canada’s most notable working musicians, (like Dan Mangan and Sarah Harmer), and shared the stage with staples of Canada’s professional musician industry (like the Barenaked Ladies and Ron Sexsmith.)
 
We spoke with Mike Evin about the ins-and-outs of what life as a working musician is like, how musicians make ends meet today, and other topics, including insider tips and tricks on how musicians can make the most of their time working in the competitive music industry.

This podcast is brought to you by EQ Bank and the EQ Bank Savings plus account. 

[0:00 - 3:36] Intro

[3:36 - Money Mistakes and Money Makeups - losing money as a musician, too much alcohol, cancelled gigs

[6:24 - 7:29] Tell us the Mike Evin story - playing music as a kid, jazz as a teenager, high school band, late teens writing songs. 

[7:30 - 8:24] When was the first time you thought you could make money as a musician? 

[8:25 - 11:29] Did you play in small clubs? WHat’s the earliest memories of making money as a musician? Great story about the real life struggles of getting paid as a musician.  
[11:30 - 13:14] What would you say to a self employed musician in getting paid well. Should a musician accept drinks as payment? You need confidence and love and respect. 

[13:15 - 16:34] Venues are shutting down. How does an artist stand up for themselves? People shouldn’t be happy with whatever they can get, but take it gig by gig. The three thing rule - pay, quality of music, and the hang. You need two of those. 

[16:35 - 20:24] How do musicians earn money these days after a decade of streaming and file sharing? Limewire, Napster and now subscription based services like Napster. 
For every 1 million streams you get $4,000 - it’s not worth it.  THere needs to be other sources. You need to diversify. Neighboring rights

[20:25 - 22:09] There’s a lot of money that goes out when making music. How do you find that balance? It’s not a regular 9-5 job with a bi weekly paycheck. How do you manage the cash flow? 

[22:10 - 23:29] How long does it take to fill out a money grant? Does it have to be 100% made in Canada? Yes, there are stipulations - they can be political, quality of music, but there are far more criteria. Making money from ticket sales, merchandise, Socan. 

[23:30 - Is Canadian content (CANCON) rules restrictive - does that restrict our artists growing out of Canada? 

All Canadian record labels, if you took grant funding away, you’d go bankrupt. 

[26:51 - 29:02] About visas to work in the United States. You need a US Visa to work. Be careful crossing the border without a proper visa. You don’t want to get screwed. What’s the best way fans can support their favourite artists where streaming is the norm?

[29:03 - 29:59] We had a song on the TV show Letterkenny - Zack learns a lesson. Mike teaches him - how come you don’t get royalties from Socan for having your music in the show? 
In this day and age, it’s so easy to educate yourself about money. Leave no stone unturned. 

[31:00 - 33:29] What money saving tips do you have for people pursuing a career in music? Diversify. Get students out to shows and...in your music videos. 

[33:30 - 34:44] What’s the hardest part of a day to day life of a working musician? Staying motivated. Money is still a struggle. 

[34:45 - 36:39] Do you worry about money? You have to love what you do for the struggle to be worth it. How to ground yourself as a musician. 

[36:40 - 39:59] RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS  - What’s in your wallet? What’s your favourite book? What’s your favourite song to play? Who is your favourite musician? What is the biggest a musician can make? What does your billboard say?

			<video:title>Real Money Talk Podcast  with CG Chen - Ample Labs</video:title>
			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/GRMNL__dsJE</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>We think of the homeless as people on the street, but there are far more people living in transition - couch surfing or sleeping in the back seat of their cars. If you were down and out, if you had no money, do you know where to go for food and shelter?

Enter Chalmers, an app for the homeless developed by Ample Labs. An app to help the people on the street find essential services like food, shelter, and even help them in crisis. Today on the show, we interview the founder of Ample Labs, CG Chen. We ask how a homeless person makes use of an app? Should we try to make change with them, or give it to a charity? Oh, and there's a few reality checks along the way. 

[0:00 - 4:19] Intro - this Podcast is brought to you by EQ bank and the EQ Bank Savings Plus Account. 

[4:20 - 7:15] Money mistakes and makeups

[7:16 - 8:04] Tell us about what Ample Labs is doing. A tech non-profit Using technology to empower people at risk. 

[8:05 - 9:14] Do homeless people have smartphones? Where do they get them? Only 10% of homeless are on the street, they are chronically homeless. 80% of people experiencing homelessness are hidden.

[9:15 - 10:04] Most people are 3 bad months from homlessness. Most of us aren’t 3 months from becoming a millionaire. No one decides to become homeless. 4/10 Shelter residents are refugees. 

[10:05 - 10:54] How does the Chalmers bot deal with foreign languages? 

[10:55 - 11:54] Earlier episode with refugee, Fatma. Majority of people turn to Google in these situations. . But you won’t always get the most relevant websites. 

[11:55 - 14:29] How did you come up with this idea? CG’s story of a close friend becoming homeless. 

[14:30 - 15:24] Toronto’s rent is less affordable than San Francisco’s. 

[15:25 - 16:20] Building technology in the tech sector is creates wealth, but they need to contribute to the solution

[16:21 - 17:29] How do you promote Chalmers? Word of mouth, reaching out in the communities, and working with support services. 

[17:30 - 18:49] Is there competition in the social good space? More apps for the homeless? Another app called Helpseeker. It’s competitive but we’re all working together. 

[18:50 - 20:09] How did Chalmers expand out of Toronto? Police officers, and other first responders benefit from Chalmers. 

[20:10 - 23:19] I tried Chalmers (https://chalmers.amplelabs.co/). It's incredibly fast. Do you work with the city services? How do you know beds are available? How do you know there’s food available? We work with 211Ontario. Chalmers enables you to find real time alternatives. You can’t do this with Google. 

[23:20 - 24:59] What’s the future of this technology? Can Chalmers help find volunteers?  Would it translate into more? Helping people 

[25:00 - 26:24] What are the next steps for you? How do we measure the impact? 20% retention on Chalmers. We want people off the app, that means success. How do we scale into more communities? The software is modular so we can partner

[26:25 - 27:09] What’s the end goal for Chalmers? Barriers interested in putting Chalmers on Ipads at bus stops. 

[27:10 - 29:42] Myth Busting questions - Should we give money to the homeless? Or is it better to give to charity? Give someone change, it’s not big enough to be harmful, but more importantly, have a conversation. Buy them a meal. The biggest impact is to connect and have a conversation. 

[29:43 - 30:45] What’s a tip to have a conversation with a homeless person?

[30:46 - 32:29] A nice story on the TTC and helping people out. Homeless is because of segregation. It’s not us against them. We’re all people. 

[32:30 - 32:59] You’re crazy, looking for your next hit. Attend a community event, get volunteers to talk with people and the myth goes away. 

[33:00 - 32:39] How does someone help Chalmers? Chalmers Crowdfunding campaign. Volunteer. 

[33:40 - 35:04] Rapid fire questions. 

[35:05 - 35:59] What’s it like being a founder?

[36:00 - 38:57] How can you improve your credit score?

			<video:player_loc>https://www.youtube.com/embed/boY-62bchdY</video:player_loc>
			<video:description>We don't talk about real money like this. In this episode, Chantel Chapman of whatthefinances.ca talks about mindfulness, not banking, and how it affects us internally - our breath, our nervous system, and brains. She helps us understand the why of the buy, and how to control our spending with balance. This show can serve as a history lesson on consumerism, our addiction to our money habits and how a 12-step program for your over/under spending, or other money disorders, affect your everyday. You want to tune in. It may be the most valuable financial advice you've heard in your entire life.

How does our childhood affect our relationship with money? Is happiness with money possible? How can we find peace with our spending and be in control of our emotions? We explore it all.

In 2019, Ed Sheeran released the genre-spanning ‘No.6 Collaborations Project’ which featured a wide-range of artists including ‘Justin Bieber’, ‘Camilla’ Cabello’, ‘Travis Scott’, ‘Eminem’, ‘Cardi B, ‘Paulo Londra’, ‘Bruno Mars’ and ‘Stormzy’ amongst many others, producing hits such as ‘I Don’t Care’, ‘Beautiful People’, ‘South of The Border’ and ‘Take Me Back To London’.
