Hey I was fu*king retarded when it came ot money, until this one thing happened.

Back in 2019, I was a project travel manager for a Company called Flight Centre.

I had to rush to Vancouver via train in the morning and then rush back and work at the Abbotsford branch.

It's not easy when you have a toddler who isn't sleeping well, but I managed to do it without a complaint.

Once I got into the office, I noticed there was a customer who had his arms crossed. His body language indicated that he was pissed.

I walked up to him and said, "Hey man looks like you're waiting to get some help." He looked at me and said, "Yeah, I am and I think we are going to have a bit of a problem here."

So I laughed and said, "Tell me about it, I'm running on less than 4 hours of sleep because I got a 2-year-old at home who isn't sleeping well."

He looked at me and said, "Me too."

We had a good laugh and I said, "Why don't you walk with me to Starbucks and tell me what's going on?"

He nodded a yes, so we headed down to get some coffee.

The man had a pretty major customer issue that I had to handle, and while I was grabbing a coffee with him, he said to me, "I need a smart guy like you working for me at the bank."

So being curious, "I asked him when he would want me to start." He mentioned something about next month, which would have been October 2019.

I told him I didn't think the timing was right because I was heading to the Maldives for 2 weeks in December.

Sure enough, he says I will message you when you're back. Here I thought he was just pulling my leg because he needed my help.

So I come back after Christmas, and guess who calls me?

Mr.Fancy Suit and he's excited, "How was your vacation?"

I'm confused and then realise it's him. So we have a conversation and he tells me that I have a job waiting for me January 6th.

So, I thought long and hard about this decision and I remember seeing the Yelllow Vest Protests happening in Hong Kong and I just had this gut feeling that I need to make a swtich.

Sure enough, I make the switch and then bam, not to long after the beer bug hits the world.

If it weren't for this happening, I would have never been allowed to see how everything works in the world of banking and how banks and governments work together to keep people stuck.

I improved my relationship with money, and I used to hate it because I saw my family argue about it. Now I'm able to guide people on how not to be re*areded when it comes to understanding the game of money.

This is where my brand around fitness and financial education was born.

Thanks for reading,

Monty
