A recent Toronto Star article predicts the Bank of Canada will cut interest rates in June. However, current economic data suggests inflation might be on the rise which usually discourages rate cuts.

In a recent Instagram Live session, I discussed some alarming trends that sparked a flurry of questions and concerns from our audience. Today, we're delving into the aftermath of the slowest sales we've witnessed in decades.

We explore a multitude of factors contributing to this uncertainty, from issues with reconstruction and delayed closings to persistent affordability challenges. Inflation remains a looming concern, and the prospect of interest rates decreasing anytime soon seems unlikely.

Surprisingly, amidst the overall slowdown, certain segments of the market are witnessing heightened competition. Multiple offers are becoming the norm, with one property even garnering 18 offers and selling for a whopping 50K over the asking price. Could this be a sign of a nuanced market, potentially driven by specific property types like condominiums? Tune in to hear my thoughts and key takeaways for you to consider

The pursuit of perfection impacts us all to some extent. Whether it's the desire to appear flawless, attain a perfect business, excel as a parent, or project an image of having everything in life perfectly in order.

Your unique qualities and the very essence of what makes you different contribute to your perfection. Recognizing that you will inevitably make mistakes is part of being imperfect, and embracing these imperfections provides a deeper appreciation for who you are and the valuable contributions you make to the world.

It can be challenging having a conversation with someone when you challenge their beliefs and everything they’ve known. In our Flat Earth episode, I had people calling me crazy and all sorts of names. It got me wondering, why are we so quick to resort to this type of behaviour when such a topic becomes a part of discussion? Instead of engaging in discussion; we immediately dismiss it and rest in our way of thinking without exploring if what we’ve known could possibly be wrong.

Since we’re young, our school system has guided us in educating us. We’ve all been through the system. But could what they taught us be wrong? Are we loyal to authority figures? Can we all collectively govern ourselves and come to our own conclusions? In my opinion, we need to be introspective and challenge what we know and why we believe it.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Our flat earth episode and the response

• Our education system

• Ushering a new way of identifying yourself

• Hidden messages in music, and entertainment to derail us from God

October is one of my favorite times of the year! The air is crisper, leaves change, and the lead-up to Halloween. I’ve celebrated Halloween my whole life and enjoyed every moment I got to dress up and be with my friends. As I got older and went into my faith, I began researching the origins of Halloween. 

As I dug deeper into the history and how it began, I realized how it traced back to the Celtic festival in Samhain. It was a tradition held at the end of summer when sacrifices were made to the gods in Druid tradition. Halloween never involved wearing costumes, it was rather a solemn event focused on prayer and meditation.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Feeling the disconnect between the celebration of Halloween and maintaining our faith

• What are the true origins of Halloween?

• Does Halloween still hold the same meaning as its origins compared to how we celebrate it today? 

• Why we wear costumes on Halloween

• How religious families should approach celebrating Halloween

• The significance of Oct 31

It’s becoming a challenge to have a free-flowing conversation these days without having the need to watch over every word that comes out of your mouth.

It seems that the talk and understanding of personal finance is slowly moving away from us.

DC fam, I could not wait to talk about this topic! Ever since I opened my eyes and challenged my way of thinking in the realm we live in, I started asking questions. When we were growing up as children, we were taught about space, how the earth is a globe, NASA, and everything in between. When you look around you, everything is flat. The water has no curve, you rarely feel the dip in curvature or even the globe spinning as fast as they say it is. I also find it interesting when you socially oppose the round earth belief you get demonized for believing that. It’s crazy. I want to share with you why I believe the Earth is flat, and why the heliocentric model has been indoctrinated in us when past civilizations documented the earth as flat. On the episode, Owen and I talk about: - How I started believing the earth was flat - Scientific evidence proving the earth is flat - God’s creation of earth - How we’ve been indoctrinated as a society - The pull away from God and religion - Why do they want us to believe the Earth is round?

No one prepares men to become fathers. There’s no manual on what to do or what to say as your kids come to you with questions that they need answers to. As a dad, you’ve got to assess the situation and make a choice you believe would be in their best interest & live with the consequences.

Being a dad to Mila and Matea has been such a blessing. They continue to push me, and challenge me to be the best version of myself every da. In today’s show, Owen and I dive deep in the lessons I’ve learned so far on being a dad.

On the episode we talk about:

Adversities are a part of life. You are bound to go through them one way or another whether it’s your career, family, relationships, and friendships. It’s one thing to go through adversity but how do you handle it when it comes? One day your life is great then the next day could look totally different.

On today’s show, I share with Owen experiences I’ve faced where I had to dig deep to find the strength to overcome adversity.

Do you remember how easy it was to make friends when you were younger? You had kids you grew up with in the neighborhood you could befriend. In high school, you could get involved with sports or clubs, and in college, you had many people in one space with the thirst to make connections.

In this episode, we speak about:

• Getting out of your comfort zone 

• Setting routines to maintain contact with those around you

• My experience working in corporate

Welcome back DC fam! Boy you’re in for a treat today. I’ve been a big believer in how they’re outer forces working against us to advance as a society. When I got exposed to certain ideas, and the groups who control us; I denied it and didn’t want to acknowledge that certain ideas could be true. 

After doing my own research, I came to the conclusion that there is evidence that makes it true. Owen and I do a deep dive into how we’re fed false information on the news, how they're secret societies that control all industries, and how the collective consciousness can’t see the truth hidden in plain sight.

We get into:

• The lizard people

• The dark truths of Hollywood

• Fake narratives created to keep you in fear

• The new world order that is upon us

Welcome back for a brand new episode, DC fam! In today’s podcast, we’re discussing how technology is influencing the real estate industry. There are so many platforms that are emerging to empower agents to be at the top of their game and applications that provide clients with a smooth selling & buying process. 

In our episode, Owen and I focus on how video is becoming a key driving force for agents. Agents have to adopt a video strategy to provide their prospective clients with an inside look into their listings, and their knowledge of the market, and build relationships with their audience from a distance. Refusing to adopt video poses a risk to an agent's business in 2023 and beyond.

In the episode, we discuss:

• Realtors have to adopt a video strategy to survive

• Virtual Reality in real estate

• Emerging platforms realtors have to use in 2023

• Potential threats to real estate from the advancement of technology

We all have indulged with vices at one point or another in our lives. Inherently, we know these vices are bad but they offer a level of gratification that provides us with a temporary escape. If we know they are bad, why do we keep coming back? 

In today’s conversation, Owen and I discuss how vices are collectively being normalized. We’re living in a time where we have so much access to nudity, drugs, alcohol, and gambling because of how technology has evolved. Vices that were deemed as taboo are now being commercialized.

Welcome back for a brand new episode, DC fam! This week’s episode is something near and dear to my heart. 

Growing up, I grew up with a lack of self-confidence in myself because of the things that were said to me. Your family is everything. But at times, they can be people within your family that say things to you that have a massive impact on how you see yourself & how confident you are. 

I’ve gone through tremendous growth over a long period of time and I'm healing those wounds from early on. On today’s show, I want to share how we should learn to develop healthy mechanisms for communication, building confidence in ourselves, and processing our emotions to be our best for not only ourselves but for others.

• The power of affirmations

• How your words are powerful
