Gimme a Crisis: Lessons from Scotiabank’s Rick Waugh

MP3•Episode home

This week on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, it’s a different kind of conversation — no portfolio managers, no mailbag, just an honest, wide-ranging “good hang” with two Canadian heavyweights.

Amber sits down with bestselling author Howard Green, whose book Gimme a Crisis tells the remarkable story of former Scotiabank CEO Rick Waugh. Together, they dive into the moments that defined Canada’s banking system — and Waugh’s extraordinary career — from Argentina’s collapse to the 2008 financial crisis and what came after. Along the way, they unpack why Canada’s banks emerged as some of the strongest and most stable in the world — and what lessons that strength holds for the future.

It’s part history, part leadership masterclass, and part storytelling gold — a rare glimpse into how crises shape character, business, and a nation.
