On September 11th, 2001, all 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees working on and above the 101st floor of One World Trade Center lost their lives. Just days after the attacks, chairman and CEO Howard Lutnick promised that 25% of Cantor Fitzgerald’s profits would go to the families of the deceased. He kept his promise, and along with his Sister Edie, has since raised over $250 million dollars for the families of 9/11 victims. On this episode, Libby is joined by Howard and Edie Lutnick to talk about their memories of the tragedy, and how their lives and many others have changed since. Also, a recent study by CIBC finds that Zoomers are responsible for rising Canadian household debt more than any other demographic. Financial Guru Gordon Pape talks about why that is, and what we can do to get out of the red before it’s too late!… read more
