  • Short and Sweet!

    Excellent podcast! It is very easy to fit into a busy day. I’m enjoying how a topic -usually from the news or social media- is “dissected” by Chael, ice cream producer, and Jason, financial planning educator.

  • Mic check

    Love the podcast but can you please hire a sound engineer or get Chael a better mic? Can barely hear him on the last couple episodes.

  • Always learn something new

    Great episodes so far. The short format is a nice change. Jason has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the financial advice/planning industry and a knack for bringing concepts across. Chael brings a thoughtful layman’s perspective. Looking forward to future episodes.

  • Great Canadian finance podcast

    Ice cream producer Chael reads Canadian financial news with financial educator Jason Watt. Cool concept where you get two perspectives on some complex subjects.

    I really enjoyed this podcast.
