by Anthony Chiaravalloti
A podcast on the things that they don't teach us in school. We are taught in school how to square a circle but not how to do our taxes, how to open a bank account, how to invest wisely or how insurance/mortgages work. Helping Canadians become more financially literate, one post at a time. Content consists of interviews and segments on trending topics, important concepts that are not in the school curriculum and interviews with an array of professionals, masters of crafts and humans.
