I recently had a debate with a fellow entrepreneur about whether leadership is something you are born with, or if it is something you can learn. My friend was arguing that either you had it, or you didn’t. I argued that leadership can be learned. My friend was dealing with an HR issue in...

Hundreds of financial analysts knew the 2008 crisis was coming. Unfortunately, most of them waited until 2009 to say anything about it. Why? Because hindsight is tricky. In hindsight, we recall having suspicions that the housing market was getting too frothy - we recall the illogical leniency...

The Sky is Definitely Falling If we are going by financial media headlines - the end is near. Our financial system is on the brink of collapse, runaway inflation is around the corner, the dollar is headed to zero, bitcoin will fix everything - although it is also a scam, and gold is either a...

Last week I shared my most important rule as an investor - define your investor habit. My portfolio time is 5am - 8am Monday to Friday, after which I am pulled into other priorities. Being disciplined with this time, month after month and year after year has compounded my growth as an...

Peter Brown, the founder of Canada’s largest independent bank, Canaccord Genuity, once told me, “If you want to win big, you’ve got to bet big”. Rick Rule, formerly the face of Sprott US, told me, “Excess cash is the most valuable asset, it gives you the...

I hosted the crowd favourite and legendary trader Gareth Soloway on the show this week. He was an absolute blast to speak with. It’s refreshing interviewing investors with styles that differ from mine. Gareth is a swing trader, usually in and out of positions within a week or...

Every year I build a few new garden boxes for my backyard. I buy 16' 4x4"s for around $26 / board. This year, at my local Home Depot, the sticker price for the same lumber I've bought the previous two years is $74. There are a few things at play here. I am sure we...

This week I sat down with both a past US Presidential Candidate and an ex professional bodybuilder. I have an amazing job. The Libertarian Godfather Dr. Ron Paul joined me on the show to cover every hot button issue we could think of - from American civil unrest, COVID19, immigration policy...

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a letter discussing the relationship between age and hormone production. Many of the negative symptoms of ageing are related to hormone imbalances and depletion. The response I received from curious investors was overwhelming. I touched on some of the key...

As we prepare for the weekend, here are two of the more interesting interviews I hosted this week. This Legendary Investor Can Now Say What He Really Thinks This week I caught up with the newly independent Rick Rule - Rick has been the face of Sprott US Holdings for as long as I have...

Good morning Everyone, We have been busy in the studio, and hosted some show stopping interviews in the last few days. Below are some of my favourites. Today, without question, there is something for everyone. Enjoy. For The Macro: 2020's most prolific macro analyst, Lyn Alden,...

The last 14 months have been 6 ½ day weeks at the desk. I’ve been feeling the need to detach myself from the trenches, evaluate, and plan the next phase of growth. So last Thursday night, I clocked out. Nothing in the business needed me, I tied up any loose ends and...

Time For a Change I am going to switch gears today. Most of my content over the last nine months, either YouTube or newsletter, has been focused on macro finance. There has been a lot to talk about - we are living through the greatest experiment in fiscal policy the world has ever...

In my little town of Squamish, BC, vaccines are rolling out. My physiotherapist, RMT and chiropractor have all gotten their shots as front line health care workers. Surprisingly, my reaction to the world re-opening is not relief. It is a mix of urgency... and possibly anxiety? Did I do enough...
