Are your retained earnings quietly shrinking under taxes and inflation — even though your business is thriving?

If you’re an incorporated business owner, you’ve likely felt boxed in by bad options: pull money out and lose nearly half to tax, leave it sitting idle, or invest and watch passive income get hit with punitive rates. Meanwhile, wealthy families seem to grow corporate wealth smoothly, access liquidity when they need it, and pass money on with minimal tax friction. This episode breaks down why that gap exists — and how the rules of the Canadian tax system actually reward those who know how to structure properly.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How holding companies and connected corporations can turn retained earnings into 0% tax investment income
• Why most “safe” corporate investments are tax traps — and what replaces them
• The missing strategy that allows you to access corporate wealth tax-free during life and at death

Press play now to learn how incorporated business owners turn retained earnings into a tax-free corporate wealth flywheel.

Are you sitting on piles of retained earnings but still unsure how to actually put your money to work as a business owner?

So many incorporated business owners believe they’re “well invested,” only to discover most of their wealth is sitting idle in corporate accounts — untouched because of uncertainty, fear of volatility, or analysis paralysis. This episode unpacks the real reason business owners think they’re invested when they’re not, why this misunderstanding creates missed opportunities year after year, and how over-focusing on finding the “perfect” investment stalls real progress. You’ll hear what 400+ conversations with business owners revealed about risk, liquidity, and the mental blocks that keep money on the sidelines instead of building long-term freedom.

You’ll learn:

• Why your perceived investment risk profile often doesn’t match your actual asset allocation — and how to fix it
• A simple framework for deciding how much cash to keep liquid versus how much to put into diversified, productive assets
• The small, consistent steps that reliably move retained earnings into growth without overwhelming complexity or added stress

• Why delaying important financial actions—even small ones—quietly erodes your long-term wealth, and how to reverse that pattern with simple, doable steps.

Are you relying on luck instead of a liquidity plan—and putting your wealth growth at risk without even realizing it?

Most Canadians think of an emergency fund as a boring cash pile that just sits there. But as Jon and Kyle reveal, your emergency fund is actually the foundation of every smart financial system—because it determines whether you react to problems or respond to opportunities. With rising costs, unpredictable expenses, and income volatility, your financial resilience depends on how you structure your liquidity. And as your net worth grows, the role of that fund should evolve—shifting from simple protection to strategic fuel for wealth building.

You’ll discover:

• The three tiers of liquidity—how to move from basic stability to a true “wealth reservoir” that compounds and supports long-term planning.
• When cash, leverage, or whole life cash value each make sense depending on your stage and volatility.
• How high-net-worth Canadians use liquidity strategically to seize opportunities, reduce taxes, and protect their legacy.

Hit play to learn how to turn a simple emergency fund into one of the most powerful wealth-building tools in your financial system.

Are you still relying on “buy term and invest the difference”—without realizing it may be the wrong comparison for your actual wealth strategy?

Many high-income Canadians and incorporated business owners are unknowingly measuring permanent insurance against the wrong benchmark. The real issue isn’t whether market investments outperform a policy—it’s whether your risk-off capital is sitting idle, under-earning, and over-taxed. If you’re holding piles of cash, GICs, or fixed-income assets for safety, you may be missing out on a structure that protects liquidity, enhances tax efficiency, and strengthens long-term wealth planning. This episode reframes how to segment your capital, why traditional advice often falls flat for higher-net-worth households, and how the right structure can expand both stability and opportunity.

You’ll learn:

• Why “term vs. permanent” is the wrong comparison—and what fixed-income bucket permanent insurance truly replaces.
• How high-net-worth Canadians can access tax-exempt compounding, liquidity, and optionality unavailable in traditional fixed-income tools.
• The powerful estate and corporate tax advantages that can turn safe dollars into a far more efficient long-term wealth asset.

Press play to rethink your risk-off capital—and uncover a smarter, more flexible way to build and protect your wealth.

Are your capital gains quietly building into a financial time bomb that could detonate right when you need liquidity the most?

For many high-earning Canadians—especially tech professionals with stock options and RSUs or business owners with most of their wealth tied up in their company—capital gains don’t feel dangerous… until they suddenly are. As positions grow year after year, so does the tax liability, the concentration risk, and the emotional resistance to selling. By the time liquidity, diversification, or retirement planning becomes urgent, the opportunity for elegant, tax-efficient strategies has already closed. This episode digs into why capital gains become such a trap, how optionality slowly disappears, and what both employees and business owners can do before they hit a point of no return.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How concentration risk quietly compounds and why waiting makes the tax burden exponentially harder to manage.
• The strategic moves that only work before you need to sell, from trimming positions to pairing gains and losses to building diversified buckets.
• Why business owners face the same capital-gains trap as employees—and what they can do to de-risk while keeping growth potential and flexibility intact.

Press play now to learn how to unwind capital gains strategically—long before the tax bill dictates your decisions. If you'd like, I can tighten the tone further, make it punchier, or create a more SEO-optimized version.

In this episode, estate and legacy expert David Edey breaks down why so many Canadian families end up in years-long legal battles, even when wills exist.

You’ll walk away knowing:

• Why wills fail—and the conversations every family must have to avoid messy court fights and broken relationships.
• How to safeguard your business through succession plans, executor preparation, and simple mechanisms that prevent partners from being forced into unwanted arrangements.
