Preet Banerjee

Dave opens up to @preetbanerjee about the weight of rewriting a Canadian classic — and what made this version harder to write.

Dave tells @preetbanerjee why the updated “The Wealthy Barber” was the toughest but most rewarding project of his career. Plus don’t miss Preet’s review of the new book at the end!

How did Dave write “The Wealthy Barber” when he was only 25?? @preetbanerjee gets the behind-the-scenes story, including how the book was originally set to be in a bar with “The Wealthy Bartender.”

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, @preetbanerjee, 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.  Tune in to this special episode on our website, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts!
