The Wealthy Life is looking for applicants to sit in the well-known white chair to have a casual and informative chat with financial guru, Sybil Verch, in front of the camera. As a guest on The Wealthy Life, you will first have a one-on-one call with Sybil to discuss your situation and big questions before filming. Then, for a few hours during the week of May 14-18, you will be invited to The Wealthy Life's set (in Victoria) for the filming of your segment.  Once all the "hard" work is over, you get to sit back, relax, and see your face on our social media channels and, of course, on TV!  The best benefit of all is knowing that your participation in The Wealthy Life will help Canadians across the country be better equipped to make smart money decisions and achieve their financial goals and dreams!
