Ellen Bessner's Financial Prosperity Podcast

The Financial Prosperity Podcast identifies, analyzes, and solves the most common gaps between investors and financial service providers so that you can build long-term financial prosperity, strengthen your financial literacy, and make informed decisions about your money management and future financial planning. Because investors and financial service providers—whether online platforms, individual financial advisors, financial planners, or Portfolio Managers—sit on the same side of the table, the success of one depends on the success of the other. Each episode uncovers a real-world disconnect between investors (around their savings, investing decisions, financial goals, and confidence in sharing information) and financial service providers (their ability to communicate clearly in person, online, or by email by asking the right questions and using the right language and tone). We explain the gap, why these gaps exist, and offer practical, actionable steps to close them—whether you're trying to understand how to choose a financial advisor, evaluate advice, improve communication, or start building long-term wealth. Hosted by lawyer, author, and industry expert Ellen Bessner, the Financial Prosperity Podcast breaks down financial conversations and services in a way that's human, honest, and easy to apply. Listeners gain clarity and confidence on essential topics such as retirement planning, wealth-building strategies, finding the right advisor, and making informed decisions that lead to real, lasting financial prosperity. Ellen Bessner is a leading Canadian lawyer, author, and expert in financial services practices. With decades of experience advising and defending wealth firms and financial advisors, she brings a clear, practical lens to how investors and financial service providers can better understand and bridge communication gaps. Her focus: helping people make confident, well-informed decisions about their money so they can truly achieve financial prosperity.
