THE GUEST
Aditya Mawlankar’s journey began in Pune, India, before he moved to Canada with one goal: to build a bigger future for his family. After graduating from Simon Fraser University, he spent five years in the corporate world and worked his way to a six-figure income. But earning more revealed a bigger lesson—making money and building wealth are two very different things. That realization pushed Aditya to educate himself about Canadian finance and eventually build a business focused on helping families better understand their money and create stronger financial futures.
You can make a living from a 9-5 but need a 5-9 to make real wealth!
— Aditya Mawlankar
THE CONVERSATION
How many “NOs” can you take before you finally give up? For Aditya Mawlankar, giving up wasn’t an option. A financial advisor and the creator of Invest With Intent, Aditya built his brand with a mission to help families better understand Canadian finance. But the journey wasn’t easy. He faced rejection, doubt, and countless “no’s”—even from people close to him. Instead of letting rejection define him, he made a decision: he refused to stay broke and refused to let other people’s opinions determine his future. In this episode of Trust the Process, we uncover what drives someone to keep going when no one believes in them, how rejection can become fuel, and what it really takes to change not only your circumstances—but the way people see you.
