Since the dawn of time one thing has always captured our imagination. From Neanderthals sitting around a campfire, to Hollywood blockbuster movies, we are captivated by stories.   I used to work in the film business. I worked on tons of tv series and feature films. I can recall countless times that I watched directors and lighting technicians spend hours getting a scene to look just right, then spend only a minute or two actually filming. The one thing that always stuck with me in those moments was the thought that no matter how visually pleasing you make the scene, if the content is crap ..read more

Have you ever thought about a second career? I know, it’s hard to think about giving up what you’ve spent so many years doing, but there comes a time where lifestyle begins to trump security.  For corporate executives looking to transition into ownership, investors who understand passive (or at least semi-passive) income streams, or the average person looking to make a change and build something for themselves, franchising may be a great option.  In recent months I’ve had my eyes open to new franchising models, and different ways of looking at the strategy as a whole.  To me, th ..read more

The hardest thing about being an investor is learning. For the average Joe venturing into the world of investing to say that it’s overwhelming is a huge understatement. I know for myself I’ve been in the financial world for over a decade, and I still learn about new strategies and tactics all the time. It’s one of the reasons I’m so grateful we have Guide 2 the Grind.  We get to meet so many brilliant professionals. As we wrap up 2023, and the 3rd season of doing the show, I’m super excited about the coming year. We’ve learned so much this year, and have some pretty big things planned ..read more

As we approach the end of our third year doing this podcast, I look back on all of the great guests, and the multitude of strategies they’ve shared. We’ve met some incredible people, and learned so much.   But none of them have been able to make investing as simple as this guest.   Most of the time we’re speaking with folks who’ve been in the investing world for a decade, maybe even two, but never have we had the opportunity to chat with someone that has the breadth of knowledge you can only acquire from over 40 years in the business.   In the last 4 decades we’ve seen both the ..read more

“Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome” Clint Eastwood, Heartbreak Ridge No guest we’ve had on the show embodies this more than our guest on this episode.  Gary Hibbert is a real estate entrepreneur which I can say from personal experience has a massive heart, and truly cares about other people’s lives.  I first met Gary through a random phone call back in 2015. Since then I’ve had the great pleasure of attending his meetups, learning from him and his team, and breaking bread together.  Gary’s journey to success has not been an easy one. But with every challenge he’s found a way ..read more

As we approach the end of our 3rd season, I look back and think about all the guests we’ve had. Some have been back a couple of times… some never showed up the first time.  But on this episode we have my all time favourite guest, not just because he’s an expert in the Crypto space, but because he’s become a true friend, even though we’ve never met in person.  The more time I’ve spent with Zach, the more fascinated I am by his faith, knowledge, and depth of character.  Yes it’s a bit of a bro-mance. And one of the reasons I’m so grateful to connect with such an abundance ..read more
