  • How to Stay Healthy as You Age in Alberta
    Jan 31 2026

    On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Rob Gerrie dig into the stories shaping retirement today, starting with tipping culture. They’re joined by Dr. Wayne Smith, Professor of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Toronto Metropolitan University, to explain why “tip creep” has accelerated and why it likely isn’t going away.

    Next, they speak with Laura Tamblyn Watts, President & CEO of CanAge, about gaps in vaccine coverage for seniors in Calgary, Alberta, and across Canada and what that means for older adults.

    Then Kathy Mendham, Owner of Proactive Seniors, shares why being proactive before retirement matters, especially when it comes to understanding your options and preparing for real-life retirement decisions like housing, healthcare access, and affordability.

    To close out the show, Dave and Rob tackle a question many people wrestle with: How do you stay healthy as you age? Dave also shares his personal health journey, including his weight-loss and wellness reset.

    Jan 24 2026

    On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Leanna Wachniak look at how retirement is changing as Canada’s senior population grows, and why more retirees may choose (or need) to keep working, whether part-time, full-time, or through volunteering.

    Next they’re joined by Jessica O’Reilly, Relationship Expert, HappierCouples.com to talk about how to keep your romance alive in retirement. Navigating shifting identity, less personal space, and changing caregiving roles and why retirement can flip expectations for couples.

    Plus, Retail Analyst and Author Bruce Winder breaks down points programs like Air Miles and PC Optimum: are they still delivering real value, or are they getting harder to use?

    To close out the show, Leanna Wachniak and Rob Gerrie break down what the March 2, 2026 RRSP deadline for the 2025 tax year really means, and what you should have in place before making a last-minute contribution decision.

  • Tech From CES That Helps and Retirement Myths That Hurt
    Jan 17 2026

    On More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Leanna Wachniak sit down with Marc Saltzman, Tech Journalist and Host of the Tech It Out podcast, to break down the latest gadgets and tools that can actually make day-to-day life easier in retirement (and what’s just hype). Then, Dave and Leanna take on a big question: what does retirement really look like? A lot of the expectations people carry into retirement are built on common myths, so they clear up a few misconceptions they hear all the time. To close out the show, they talk about why it’s important not to let the headlines of the moment derail your plan or your portfolio, and Leanna shares a great analogy about the difference between politics and policy that’s worth a listen.
