Welcome to my Blog!

Hi!

My name is Joel and welcome to my blog. Here you will find a collection of articles on a number of different topics ranging from business to health, dating, philosophy and much more! Please browse and read through the articles you find interesting and leave a comment!

Who am I you say? I am an entrepreneur and teacher who seeks to help you to improve all aspects of your life. I tend to focus on finding the practical everyday uses for theories, concepts and facts while at the same time communicating it in a way that is simple and easy to understand. I use my personal experiences as my guide and try to share them as openly and honestly as possible.

This blog serves as an outlet for me to share my thoughts and others are welcome to share theirs in the spirit of developing well informed opinions. I have a personal passion for studying philosophy and human behaviours and invite you to join the conversation. I have developed a logical and practical approach to life and this will be reflected in my writing. I have formed this approach through years of academic study and time spent in the professional business world.

I hold numerous degrees and designations due to my personal belief in lifelong learning. When I write on various business topics, you can be assured that I have spent years studying the subjects in order to become an expert. I currently hold a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from the Goodman School of Business and an Honours Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) in Finance from Brock University. I am also a professionally designated accountant holding the Chartered Professional Accountants, Certified Management Accountants designation (CPA, CMA).

Prior to becoming a professional blogger, I worked for 7 years in finance as a business professional and, before that, 5 years as a sales professional. In the past, I have worked for well-known companies such as Scotiabank, Mattel Canada and Blackberry. These experiences allowed me to use my knowledge of business to test various business concepts in the real world, which you will benefit from when reading my business blog.

In 2016, I decided to switch careers moving from finance for business to finance for individuals. I joined a prestigious Wealth Management program at Scotiabank and learned how to provide personal finance for high net worth individuals. During that time I worked towards a Certified Financial Planning (CFP) designation. This experience gave me unique insights into how high net worth business owners, corporate executives, doctors, consultants, lawyers and other professionals view the world and a greater understanding of their specific needs. Through reading my personal finance blog, you can learn what I did about what the rich are doing with their money.

Unfortunately, I developed, and continue to struggle with, personal health issues which led to my latest decision to refocus my life on helping and teaching others. Suffering from an undiagnosed condition, I’ve spent years finding ways to improve my overall health, mostly through simple trial and error. By reading my health blogs, you may be able to benefit from the information I wish I had years ago.

I now invite you to read through the articles I have written specifically for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at joel@joelmichaud.ca.
