The Because Money Podcast was born on November 13th 2013 when Robb Engen, Sandi Martin and Jackson Middleton got together to have some fun talking about issues Canadians face when dealing with money. Since our debut, we have had a lot of conversations, interviewed some pretty awesome guests and haven’t taken ourselves too seriously.

So who are the hosts of the podcast? Great question…you met most of them on the front page, but here’s the whole gang since the beginning:

Sandi Martin

Sandi Martin

Seasons 1-6 CoHost

Sandi Martin is an advice only financial planner at Sandi Martin Financial Planning, and works with regular folks to figure out what they want their money to do for them and the simplest, smartest way to do it. She’s a slightly obsessive reader, mother of three, and frequent, loud laugher (you’ll see).

Chris Enns

Chris Enns

Seasons 3-6 CoHost

Chris Enns is a financial planner at Rags to Reasonable, where he works with artists and other folks with variable and sometimes unusual sources of income. He is a passionate servant of his community, a Mennonite farm boy, an opera singer and actor…and he makes  a mean pie. Just try to avoid seeing his desktop. (Chaos! Anarchy!)

John Robertson

John Robertson

Seasons 3-6 CoHost

John Robertson, PhD, is the author of The Value of Simple and teaches regular people how to become DIY investors through his online course Practical Index Investing for Canadians. He also investigates deep money questions and goes on rants on his blog HolyPotato.net. Oh yeah, he’s a scientist too. #smartestguyintheroom  (He didn’t write that last part.)

Muhammad Dewji

Season 3 Producer

Muhammad Dewji is a software developer, a new father, and – if you can believe it – he just showed up in Jackson’s inbox one day this spring, offering to convert past seasons to audio files and turn this thing into an actual podcast. He’s just that nice. He also didn’t want us to use his picture.

Jackson Middleton

Jackson Middleton

Seasons 1 & 2 Host and Producer

Jackson Middleton, aka “The Kilted Broker” is a family man living on Vancouver Island with his wife, 4 kids, and 15 chickens. He was a mortgage broker for many years before pursuing his passion of social media and marketing founding KiltedMedia in 2014. He is probably wearing a kilt right now, and he’s coming back to the show after this wee hiatus.

Robb Engen
