This is the Rational Reminder Podcast, a weekly reality check on sensible investing and financial decision making from three Canadians. We are hosted by me, Benjamin Felix, Chief Investment Officer, Cameron Passmore, Chief Executive Officer, and Dan Bordelti, portfolio manager at PWL Capital. Welcome to episode 365. Well done, Ben. And this week it's a special episode, actually.
We welcome back for the third time. To celebrate his retirement that was just announced last week in the Globe and Mail, Rob Kerrick, who's been an amazing voice for financial planning and and the consumer in Canada and is such a connected journalist to the industry. And it was just super to have him back to look back on his career and his top eight pieces of advice that were featured in the Globe article last week. And Dan, I know you and Rob had a parallel career, so maybe what do you think? For listeners who don't know, I mean, before I made the pivot, I worked as a journalist myself for about 20 years, and the last, I'd say, eight to ten of those was really specifically focused on personal finance journalism.
So I know just how difficult it is to stay relevant and to continually put out Let's call them articles with good advice that is genuinely good advice and not just something refreshing because hey, I have to crank out two columns a week. So I'm going to write about a number of things that are not terribly relevant but just fill the space. Rob has been so good during a very long career at having boots on the ground and talking to individual retail investors and people of all generations.
