This is the Rational Reminder Podcast, a weekly reality check on sensible investing and financial decision-making from for Canadians. We are hosted by me, Benjamin Felix, Chief Investment Officer, Dan Bordelotti, portfolio manager, Ben Wilson, head of M<unk>A, and Cameron Passmore, CEO, all of PWL Capital. Can you imagine? This is our 400th episode. It's so great to be here with you guys.

Welcome everybody to this episode. 400. Can you imagine? Almost eight years ago, Ben, we just sat down in that room and started recording and here we are still. I mean, you guys are doing way more of the lifting now, clearly, but pretty cool to be here with you guys.

I still remember being back in the office when you guys first were talking about this idea and said if this could be valuable for 10 or 20 clients to get more information and allow us to scale the business to get Ben out of meetings, it'll be a win. And it's just amazing how far it's come since then. And did overlap with your podcast, Dan? Yeah, I think so. I think I was still doing the Couch Potato podcast for, I don't know, a year or two after you guys started, and then I just moved away from it, and then was really happy to get invited back to get behind the mic again.
