Leslie sits down with Certified Financial Planner, Jackie Porter for a discussion about Jackie’s book “Single By Choice or Chance”. They get into a wide range of topics including Jackie’s incredible story teaching herself finances to grow a seven-figure net worth, being raised by a single mother who instilled independence and her journey to sharing her story with a larger audience. As they sat down in February they also discussed Black History Month and Jackie’s work with the Black Opportunity Fund. The big takeaway is an encouragement for all women to get clear about their finances. As Jackie would say “you’ll get naked with a partner? But you won’t get naked financially?“. We encourage you to get naked with your finances, to get to know your numbers so you can make a clear plan...regardless of your relationship status.

The future for women and wealth is brighter than ever. Welcome back to Love & Dividends! Visit our website: www.loveanddividends.com Follow us on Instagram: @loveanddividends

For the second instalment of our cannabis series, we chat with Lisa Campbell, CEO of Mercari Agency. Lisa, a veteran of the cannabis space, preaches from the Cannabis Act bible on the full legalization of cannabis, her legacy status from her Bubby bootlegging during Prohibition, how high-end cannabis lounges will influence the hospitality industry. She also shares her experience as CEO of two companies in a space which severely lacks representation, and how she stays ahead of the curve by chilling in her lane. Lisa also drops some knowledge about dark horse cannabis players to consider investing in. For Money Wins, connoisseur Lisa is blown away by some choice cannabis out of Edmonton, Joanna finds stoic enlightenment by way of... YouTube (really), and Leslie is cashing in on her unclaimed CRA cheques circa 2007.

Kicking off a mini-series on women in the cannabis industry with Trang Trinh, founding co-director and CEO of TREC Brands. Trang tells us about TREC, an umbrella company she co-founded that encompasses 3 cannabis brands, Wink (for artsy culture lovers), Bliss'd (for women), and Thumbs Up (for tokers on a budget).

A very grounding conversation with Financial Empowerment Coach Danielle Alexandria. Danielle takes us through how our attitudes towards money impact our ability to manifest money, ways to get to the root of your financial beliefs and how to use setbacks to fuel future gains while reminding us that abundance and greater wealth is always available to us if we look for it. We wrap up with a botanical-themed Money Wins, where we're buying oils, plants, and fancy-ass candles to make our homes verdant and fragrant!

We chat with the Sandy Yong, author of “The Money Master” about using dollar cost averaging to take emotion out of investing; real estate investing for long term (but not necessarily passive) profits; women handing off finance responsibilities even though statistics suggest they will outlive their partners; recovering from the economic crash in 2009 and the lessons she learned about the opportunity it provides. In Money Wins, Sandy's hopelessly devoted to her Instant Pot, Joanna's ratchets up her risk profile and feels accordingly badass, and Leslie leans into gin-infused quarantine life with an artisan gin!

Investment manager, emerging technologies champion and crypto wild woman Suzanne Ennis shares her financial journey which led her to the radically open minded ideas of #fintech, breaking down WTF blockchain and bitcoin actually are, what their killer app which will trigger mass adoption might look like, how crypto can be an alternative investment to hedge market drops and that despite perceptions of a blockchain bro-culture, she has found it to be a radically inclusive space. For Money Wins, Suzy's dropping serious stock knowledge, Joanna's living her best quar life in 90s Princess Di bike shorts and Reebok Classics, and Leslie scores a boozy hand sani!

Alexa Turner gives us a family lawyer’s view on personal finances including the money faux pays she sees millennial couples making. She believes prenups should be a plan for your assets, rather than a way to protect your assets, so that couples can build together. She tells us about getting “in the same book” with your partner when it comes to finances, the conflicts when one person saves or spends more money than the other, and the shame women feel when they don't understand how their finances work after many years in a relationship. For Money Wins: a killer white trench that fits yo'curves, a cautionary tale about emergency funds, and why sometimes buying a house before you can afford it is a good idea (get that rental income)!!
