On today’s episode, I’m joined by Bob Wheeler

As a man of true integrity with infectious energy, Bob Wheeler’s crusade for personal growth has cross-pollinated with his accounting practice to create a new approach to personal finances. His passion is to help others gain insights about how their emotions trigger financial decisions. Combining finances with behaviors, Bob explores his personal concept of creating a healthy relationship with money in his recent book, The Money Nerve. 

While strengthening his accounting practice, Bob has simultaneously pursued his love of satire and ventured into the realm of standup comedy.

He is also currently the CFO for The World Famous Comedy Store.

Bob’s world travels have led him to high altitudes. He has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, ascended to the Mount Everest Base Camp, and hiked several smaller mountains in between.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Richard Wong.

Richard Wong is the co-founder of Memento Digital Group, a digital marketing agency for mortgage brokers.

A born-and-raised Vancouverite, Richard's journey through the corporate world and entrepreneurship has taught him many lessons along the way.

From banking to custom suits and the transitions in between, Richard recounts the growth that has gotten him to where he is today.

Memento is derived from the Latin word Memento Mori which literally means, "Remember that you must die." That phrase really resonated with me and is reflected accurately on Richard's journey in entrepreneurship thus far. We truly only have one life so it's important to make the most out of it. 

Richard was like many new college graduates and decided to go into banking because it was a great place to kickstart your career and get your foot in the door. After climbing the corporate ladder and feeling burnt out Richard handed in his 2 weeks notice and called it quits. He had no back-up, no job lined up. He just quit.  It just so happened that a friend of his, Will approached him to expand Garrison Bespoke, a custom tailoring suit company to Vancouver. Garrison was Richard's first taste of entrepreneurship and he never looked back. He learned important lessons on storytelling, listening, and understanding your client's needs and being extremely relatable. 

Richard took his knowledge in digital marketing and sales to launch Memento Digital Group. We talk about entrepreneurship, how to get started, his biggest struggles, and how he overcame them, and how to juggle a relationship and maintain a healthy work-life balance as an entrepreneur.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Timur Dovich.

I had the pleasure to speak with Tim Dovich, a multi-million dollar Amazon FBA entrepreneur.

Timur went from being an international student from Kazakhstan and having a regular 9-5 job to owning and advising multi-million dollar amazon businesses in the supplement space within 2 years of college graduation.

Tim came from very humble beginnings and hit the ground running when he first landed in Vancouver. He was so focused on his studies that he never left the Simon Fraser Campus in Burnaby during his first year of University. Tim actually started his first amazon business while in college and it was not a success. Things were never easy and Tim almost didn't take the leap of faith. He had to quit his 9-5 job and take out a line of credit to cover his living expenses to start his second Amazon business. For three months straight, Timur consumed every single piece of content available online and went to work. In the first month, Timur did over $100,000 in sales and the rest is history. Today he manages multiple brands and acts as a brand advisor for multi-million dollar Amazon businesses.

His story is definitely one that you don't want to miss!
