Borrowing Money Isn’t Your Sacred Right as a Canadian | Because Math
Special Guest, The Holy Potato.

Meet the Holy Potato aka John Robertson PhD. John is usually the smartest person in the room simply because he is a scientist and loves math. He shares his thoughts regularly on his blog Blessed by the Potato (http://www.holypotato.net/) where he talks about financial literacy, spreadsheets, math, budgeting and the cloud of probability. Needless to say John knows his stuff and will make you see things differently.
