Barenaked Money
The naked truth about money, markets, and the financial industry.
Barenaked Money is Verecan’s personal finance and investing podcast, hosted by Josh Sheluk, Chief Investment Officer & Portfolio Manager, and Colin White, Chief Executive Office & Portfolio Manager, with Verecan Capital Management Inc.
Each episode strips down financial topics to their bare essentials, from market headlines and investment strategy to retirement, wealth planning, financial scams, business succession, charitable giving, and the many ways the financial industry makes money more confusing than it needs to be. And makes more money by being more confusing.
No crystal balls. No product pushing. No jargon salad. Just candid conversations about money, markets, and how to make better financial decisions.
