Margie McCain: The Soul of Money

My guest in this episode of The Soul Booth has given away more money than most of us will ever dream of having. She’s a philanthropist, a feminist, an advocate, and an activist. And despite her extraordinary wealth, and the fact that she’s in her 80’s, Margaret McCain is busy with all those roles! Her nickname “Margie” reflects how down-to-earth she is, and you’ll find that out for yourself within the first few minutes of this podcast when we dig into the subject I was dying to talk about - the soul of money. What she has to say will probably surprise you. Some quick background notes first though; - Born Margaret Norrie, she married Wallace McCain before he started a little family business with his brother Harrison called McCain Foods (!) - In 1994, she became the first female Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick. - She’s been a widow since Wallace died in 2011, and has 4 adult children (Michael, Scott, Eleanor, and Martha) 9 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. - She’s a feisty champion for Canada’s youngest citizens. - She’s got a quick mind, a sharp wit, and a huge heart ! I think you’re really going to enjoy this organic conversation with a woman I consider a role-model and a hero.
