Today I attended the Canadian Financial Blogger's conference in Toronto and I learned a lot. Most Canadian Financial Bloggers know and love Preet Banerjee or @PreetBanerjee or Blogger extrodinaire at "Where does all Money Go". It was inspiring to say the least and I learned so much. Things are going to be different at Mortgages for Women from here on in.
The biggest lesson I learned today was from Preet himself. He is a wonderful down to earth great guy. When you meet him you have to wonder how he got to where he is today. Today we learned it was all Johnathon Chevreau's fault. "Back in the day" Mr. Chevreau quoted Preet in a page and half article as saying something that nearly burried him with his employer. Some quick 2-stepping lead to some intense media training and the rest they say is history. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Preet was so generous to share his knowledge and experience with us.
I admit I'm a blogger by accident and today I learned that a lot of blogger's started the same way. It was great to connect with others and learn their stories. And to think the whole journey today was all the fault of Johnathon Chevreau, now the editor of Money Sense, makes me grateful. I haven't always agreed witih Johnathon's opinions when he was at The Financial Post but I have always respected him. Well done!
Marcy - I don't think you and I had a chance to formally meet this weekend - but I completely agree with you. Preet was super nice, the conference was fantastic, and things are going to be very different on my blog as well. All the best!
