- Informative and motivating
I am listening to this podcast since cannas YouTube channel stopped being about finance and more about fashion and mental health. It’s a good way to get both financial knowledge and inspiration/motivation to do better with your finance. The only downside is listening to how canna speaks to Micheal as if he is a dummy. Micheal’s role in the podcast is to ask the questions that listeners might have, so for her to demean him the way he does, is by extention demeaning her listeners.

Australiaa month ago - Relatable, no b.s, extremely useful info that helps you feel hopeful about money woes
I always get something new and insightful that I had either not thought of or ‘forgotten’ when it comes to the principles of money. There seems to be a ‘stigma’ of shame around having financial struggles and likely drives denial ie more avoidance/spending = more $$ hardship. Makes no sense
The roles of the hosts is a good contrast - Michael, ‘devils advocate’ represents the uninformed when it comes to everyday finances for everyday people. Canaṉ, the expert guide who’s straight talking common s... more
Apple Podcasts5Tim N E.Australia9 months ago - Bullying in action
I’ve given up on this podcast after the episode on financial goals in 2026 - I can’t listen to Canna’s bullying of Michael any longer. She has always been demeaning and unnecessarily argumentative with him, but in this episode she labels his thinking ‘pathetic’ and says she needs to ‘shut it down’. Is this how she speaks to her financial planning clients? God help them. I don’t need this toxic energy in my life - unsubscribed.
Apple Podcasts1Darragh43Australia10 months ago - Someone save Michael
Love the straight forward advice but the way Canna talks to Michael is hard to listen to and I’ve stopped listening because I can’t bare it.
Apple Podcasts3Alvas99Australia10 months ago - Good information but lots of insults to the co-host
The more I listen the more I am struggling with the constant disrespect towards Michael. Michael is constantly getting run down, insulted, told his savings hacks, suggestions and ideas are rubbish etc and it’s really hard to listen to. For those of us living in the real world through multiple financial crisis that don’t have the luxury of millions of dollars like Canna, I appreciate all of Michael’s real life, relatable, every day tips and tricks. It is far more relatable than, for example, tell... more
