Our guest this episode is Jason Pereira (‪@jasonperieraFP‬) — Senior Partner & Financial Planner at Woodgate Financial and one of Canada’s most prolific voices in the financial planning industry. Jason has spent over two decades immersed in the world of financial planning — earning nine professional designations, contributing to hundreds of articles and podcasts and becoming a trusted expert on everything from practice management to fintech to insurance strategy. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dave and Jason explore the evolution of financial advice in Canada including how it compares globally, why many Canadians still have blind trust in big institutions and what younger advisors are doing differently. They also dig into some of the thorniest financial planning topics: over- and under-insurance, capital gains at death, intergenerational wealth transfers, life insurance for children, rental real estate in 2025 and much, much more. Jason doesn’t hold back — sharing candid insights on the gaps in Canada’s advisory landscape and how consumers can better navigate the system. Whether you’re a new investor or just someone trying to make smart decisions with your money, this episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas and practical takeaways.

Augmented Humanity

Two visions for AI are competing for the minds of wealth advisors. In the first, AI accelerates the digitization of countless tasks, freeing time and resources to scale based on elevated client-to-advisor ratios and advisor replacement through process automation.
