#30 — Preet Banerjee Interviews Dave: The Incredible Story Behind "The Wealthy Barber" and Its Update
SPECIAL EPISODE: To commemorate the launch of the fully updated “The Wealthy Barber,” we’re doing a very special episode this week where Dave is the guest on his own podcast!
We brought back fan favourite and financial-educator extraordinaire, Preet Banerjee, to host the conversation and turn the tables on Dave. Together, they dive into the stories behind “The Wealthy Barber” — from why Dave first wrote the book and how it was tested, to his early days shipping copies with his mom and the moment he realized his life was about to change forever.
They also touch on his time on “Dragons’ Den,” the pressure (and fun) of updating the book for a new generation, the behind-the-scenes team that helped make it happen, and even a few lighter topics — like Dave’s love of A&W, black nibs and eating every meal out.
It’s a funny, nostalgic and inspiring look at one of Canada’s most beloved financial voices and the incredible journey behind one of the bestselling books in Canadian history.
