    The Realities of Freelancing, Gig Work and Passive Income in Canada | Get This Ep. 8
    Oct 15 2026
    How do you make extra money when living costs keep climbing? What does it really take to turn a side hustle into a sustainable income stream?These are some of the questions we ask in the Extra Money edition of #GetThis, where we break down how to maximize your earnings through gig work, full-time freelancing, and passive (or “less active”) income. Plus, get the financial truths no one tells you about when working for yourself.1. Go gig or go homeFrom freelance writing and participating in research studies to taking on serving jobs to fund major life expenses, side hustles come in all shapes and sizes. We get honest about hustle culture, why Canadians take on gig work, and how side experiences can build valuable "identity capital".2. What does it take to go fully freelance?Transitioning to full-time freelancing brings flexibility, but it also comes with big financial responsibilities. We talk about the realities of managing cash flow and delayed client payments, why building an emergency fund is critical before taking the leap, and the key differences—and tax implications—between operating as a sole proprietor versus incorporating.3. Making passive income work for youIs passive income ever really passive? Financial planner Trevor Theobald discusses passive income (or what he calls “less active” income), realistic financial expectations, managing risk, and tax liabilities on extra earnings. Plus, he breaks down why starting small with high-interest savings accounts, GICs, or market investments instead of jumping straight into big commitments like rental properties, can be a smart move.⏱️ Chapters00:51 The realities of gig work and why Canadians take them on02:27 Side hustle experiences (research studies, speaking gigs, serving)05:00 Balancing multiple jobs and hustle culture09:54 Transitioning to full-time freelancing13:38 Tax benefits of sole proprietorship vs. incorporating16:01 Why freelancers need an emergency fund18:03 Building identity capital through gig work20:02 What is passive income?

    Oct 5 2026
    No one likes receiving them. We all like to save on them. Bills.In the bills edition of Get This, we get into the awkward math of splitting dinner with friends, the Q4 window for cheaper phone and internet plans, and how to negotiate without turning every conversation into a standoff. Sales trainer Christopher Kelly of Sandler Toronto walks through win-win tactics you can use on a phone plan, a salary, or even the cheque at the end of the table. Use these tips and you could pocket about $560.1. How to split the bill with friendsFacing an affordability crunch, more Canadians are splitting restaurant tabs—and getting stuck with someone else’s steak. We talk through when to speak up, what hosts owe the table, and why a two-second “are we splitting?” before you order beats an awkward e-transfer after.2. How to save money on your phone billTelecom veteran Mohammed Halabi says Q4 (Black Friday through the holidays) is the one window when devices and plans go on sale at the same time. We cover switching providers, bundling internet, skipping the 120 GB upsell, and shopping Costco or Best Buy before you sign.3.

    How Scammers Steal Your Money + How to Protect Yourself | Get This Ep. 6
    Sep 21 2026
    Think you could spot a financial scam before losing your hard-earned savings? The truth is it could happen to anyone—no matter how smart or tech-savvy you are. In the scam edition of #GetThis, we dive into the dark web, data brokers, and how scammers steal your money. Plus, detective David Coffey, from the Toronto Police Services Financial Crimes Unit, breaks down the exact strategy you need to follow to protect yourself.1. Is your data actually kept private?How much does the internet know about you? What about your AI chatbot, or the data brokers who could be selling your information? We discuss the dark web, how brokerage firms make money from your data, and why you may want to think twice before joining that public Wi-Fi network, accepting internet cookies and sharing your photos with AI.2. Common financial scams in CanadaToday’s scams look more authentic than ever, and they’re everywhere: in your email inbox, in your voicemails, even in the QR codes on parking meters and bikeshares in your city. From get-rich-quick investment schemes to one-time password (OTP) link traps, these are the most common (and most convincing!) financial scams to watch out for.3. How to avoid getting scammedIt can happen to the best of us; and it does. Detective David Coffey of the Toronto Police explains how scams are tailored to match their targets, how to report a scam and what to do if you think you’re being targeted. _⏱️ Chapters:0:00 Welcome to Get This: Scams edition0:52 What is the dark web?4:38 Accepting cookies, targeted ads & data privacy8:50 Public Wi-Fi risks & password security tips10:16 The real cost of financial scams in Canada13:40 Financial scams that look too real 15:43 Spotting red flags19:49 Guest intro: Detective David Coffey 21:21 The pressure points scammers use24:19 How scammers use personal data to target victims26:15 What to do if you’ve been scammed28:56 The "Pause and Verify" strategy29:11 Wrap-up 🔗 Resources & links:The data broker market is valued at US$304.48 billion: https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/data-broker-market-116970Fraud cost Canadians $704 million in 2025: https://www.neofinancial.com/the-get/cost-of-scams-for-canadiansFinancial scams that look too real: https://www.neofinancial.com/the-get/financial-scams-in-canada-that-look-too-realWhy scammers are interested in your cookies: https://www.neofinancial.com/the-get/why-scammers-are-interested-in-internet-cookiesHow to freeze your credit card and avoid credit fraud: https://www.neofinancial.com/blog/how-to-freeze-your-credit-and-avoid-credit-fraud-in-canadaCanadian Anti-Fraud Centre: https://antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htmDetective David Coffey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-coffey-39951285?originalSubdomain=ca_📧 Submit your question to The Get: theget@neofinancial.com📩 Subscribe to The Get newsletter: https://www.neofinancial.com/the-get📲 Follow Neo Financial:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnr3DFTnaFfCYRQN5r6Zjw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neofinancial/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@neofinancial/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neofinancial/ X: https://x.com/Neofinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/neo-financial/ #FinancialScams #ScamAlert #DarkWeb #Cybersecurity #PersonalFinanceCanada #ProtectYourMoney #GetThis #NeoFinancial Hosted on Acast.
