Finance, life, business and everything in between. Mostly me, talking through the real estate world, what is actually going on in the market, stories from investing, and whatever else is worth saying.
Opinions and general discussion. Nothing in an episode is personal advice, an offer of credit, or a recommendation for your situation.
Brand new content with just me gabbing away about the real estate world, personal things going on in my life, stories as an investor, and whatever else fits my fancy. It is not scripted and it is not trying to sell you anything.
If you have read anything else on this site you will know the tone — plain language, actual numbers, and a willingness to say when something is a bad idea. The podcast is that, with less editing.

What is actually happening with housing and borrowing costs in Canada, rather than the version written to get clicks.
My wife and I hold rental property and a short-term rental. The episodes on investing come from having done it, including the parts that did not go to plan.
Building something independent, holding yourself accountable, and the unglamorous discipline behind both.
Renewals, penalties, strategy. It is the day job, so it comes up — but the show is not a product pitch.
Personal things, because a finance show made entirely of spreadsheets would be unbearable.
People worth listening to. If that is you, say so — the door is open.
If you have something worth talking about — property, business, money, or a story that teaches something — get in touch and tell me what it is.

It is not on a fixed schedule. Episodes go up when there is something worth an episode rather than to fill a slot.
Not exactly. Mortgages come up because that is the day job, but the show is broader — investing, running a business, and the money decisions people actually face.
Yes. If you have something worth talking about, get in touch and say what it is.
No. It is a public show and there is nothing to sign up for.
Episodes are general by necessity — your mortgage is not. If something landed close to home, that is worth twenty minutes on a call.
