Great video as always preet 🎉

[@niksterfer6sir]

Can you do a video on how we can lend money to other countries while in debt. I’m not even trying to be funny, I’m genuinely curious on how we can do that.

[@PreetBanerjee]

I’m not sure if it needs a full video but perhaps a shorts video would do the trick. I’ll see if I can knock that out next week.

[@CARL_093]

Another great one! Thanks Preet! Congratulations on your marriage and move. All the best to you and continued success. Sad to lose another stellar Canadian abroad.

Thank you so much! But I think I’ll be back quite often. I think I’ve been back four times since December lol Most of my work is still in Canada and the US.
