Greg Interviews Marianne

On this episode I sit down with Marianne Agudo, Financial Security Advisor in New Brunswick and host of the Unpacked and Empowered Finances podcast. Marianne is usually the one asking the questions, so this time I turned the mic on her. Marianne talks about growing up in a tight-knit Filipino family, losing her father when she was five, and what that loss taught her about being prepared for life's "what ifs." She shares what it was really like to immigrate to Canada with her husband, the misconceptions people often have about newcomers, and how a blog about getting out of debt eventually turned into her podcast. Anyone who has ever had to rebuild a financial life from scratch, or watched a parent do it, will recognize something in this conversation.
