 David Chilton, author of Canada's all-time best-selling book, The Wealthy Barber, is among the most sought after speakers in North America . His unique combination of financial knowledge and humor has helped to take the intimidation out of financial planning for hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Chilton's speeches aren't about just money, though. They're about believing in yourself, overcoming mistakes (many of his are truly hilarious) and, most importantly, they're about perspective -- the missing ingredient in many people's financial lives.

Chilton is the opposite of the stereotypical dry financial expert. The Chicago Sun-Times calls him "charming, unpretentious and funny." And Maclean's writes, "Thirty years from now Chilton could be best remembered not as a best-selling author, but as the man who inspired thousands to save their way to prosperity."

In recent years, Chilton has partnered up with the Podleski sisters to take on the  billion-dollar food industry. As their company president and publisher, he has helped them turn their idea of low-fat cookbooks into an award-winning food company. Their cookbook, Looneyspoons, is now one of the fastest selling books in Canadian publishing history, joining another classic: The Wealthy Barber.

The Wealthy Barber: A Truly Unique Perspective

The Wealthy Barber: The Common Sense Guide to Successful Financial Planning
The book The Wealthy Barber has accomplished a "publishing impossible" by selling over 2 million copies in North America. More than ten years after it was first published it still appears regularly on bestseller lists. The reason for its sustained popularity? It provides financial education in an entertaining and understandable format.

The Wealthy Barber is not full of new techniques, complex strategies, nor get-rich-quick-or-even-semi-quick schemes. Instead it focuses on the financial planning basics that, over time, have proven to be effective. It's primarily common sense—common sense that, unfortunately, in our society is not common knowledge. By using a "novel" format and strong doses of humour, Chilton has taken the intimidation and boredom out of the financial-education experience. Dave's speech delivery does not fit the stereotype of a dry financial expert. The Chicago Sun-Times said it most succinctly when they stated "Chilton is charming, unpretentious and funny."
