We got a new sound board on the wall in the YLYT podcast studio.
It's fancy.
That's Anthony and Nigel checking out the new look.
And new shelves with little LED lights underneath to make us look even fancier. LOL!
That little studio was actually supposed to be my office but somehow it's slowly converted into a podcast room.
Nick and I are set to record a new episode tomorrow...there is a ton to chat about with everything going on in the Canadian and US economies.
A lot of people are confused.
And a lot of Canadian businesses have already been impacted.
Here's what you need to know (and later we'll discuss the opportunity)...
We are witnessing the unwinding of the U.S. dollar acting as the world's reserve asset.
It's going to be a slow process but it's happening.
This has some big ramifications for how we save and invest.
If you don't believe that we're going through an entire global money system change, check out this quote from the new U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent...
Bretton Woods is a reference to the meeting that set the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency 81 years ago, in 1944.
Bessent couldn't be more clear...he'd like "to be part of it"...referencing the change to the new system.
We put together a video explaining WHY this change has to happen right now.
You can check it out right here...

Once you dive deep down the money system rabbit hole you end up realizing that one nation's currency cannot act as the global reserve asset for all countries around the world.
Eventually that currency collapses.
It seems like the current U.S. administration is acutely aware of this and is ready to force a change.
With great change comes great opportunity.
We rode the tech boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s with great success.
We rode the low interest rate environment of the 2010s as well.
So we're always on the lookout for trends that we can step in front of.
Right now presents one of those opportunities.
We believe we are quickly trending to the intersection of ENERGY + MONEY.
The demand for energy over the next few years is going to be incredible. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is literally eating all the energy it can find.
And now that the money system is gyrating through a possible change we may be racing towards Buckminster Fuller's vision (an American architect, inventor, systems theorist, and futurist).
Buckminster Fuller articulated the concept of a currency tied to energy in his book Critical Path. He envisioned a "time-energy world accounting system" where monetary systems would be replaced by uniform energy valuations. Fuller stated:
He proposed that the value of this "true dollar" would be tied to the amount of energy available globally, increasing as technology became more efficient.
This system aimed to eliminate inflation, deflation, and speculative manipulation while ensuring equitable compensation for labor and access to renewable resources.
Heck, Henry Ford spoke a similar language a long time ago.
Check out this quote:
It would seem to us that a combination of gold and an energy-bound, global ledger like Bitcoin may be very important things to pay attention to and learn about right now.
So all of this is worth paying attention to, but what else can we do to protect ourselves during these times?
We strongly believe in hard assets and if you can find some that provide income for you even better!
Right now we are working with investors to buy student rental properties that produce between $800 - $1,000 of positive cash flow a month.
These are mostly around the large universities that have constant enrollment demand in any economic environment.
We're also working with investors to get some grants that cities like St. Catharines who are offering investors up to $40K to convert single family homes into legal duplexes.
Once you legally convert a nice single family home into a legal two-unit dwelling the cash flow numbers change greatly.
As the currency in Canada and the US gets printed into oblivion over the next few years, we believe, hard assets like this are a great place to be.
And this is why at the SOLD OUT Your Life. Your Terms. Event, on Saturday April 12, we're going to be covering all of this.
Real estate strategies to create CASH FLOW for 2025 and beyond.
Canada's economic situation with brand new data points.
New forms of money like Bitcoin.
Trends in Artificial Intelligence on the future of jobs.
How to build a business from scratch.
Why access to energy is going to be a big deal going forward, and more!!
We don't know of another event that will merge all of this information into one day with speakers coming in from across Canada, Europe and South America.
We're absolutely pumped for it.
Great opportunities ahead, big trends to ride...get ready for it all right now!
