Questions Asked: 

1:57 You talk about the fact that in writing this book you pivoted from making Canadians comfortable with their money to a new mission, for women to claim their wealth.

2:20 In the first chapter, you talk about somebody called Mac.  Who is kind of clued out.  She spends a lot of money but doesn’t know where it’s going. She doesn’t seem to want to learn and eventually ends up with financial problems and ends up taking out a PayDay Loan.  Is this where we should start the conversation? Financial literacy.
