So Nick visited the Institute of Science, Health & Performance (ishplabs.com) and did some testing around his physical fitness.
I've been there too.
They know what they're doing and focus on helping people dial in their longevity, healthy aging, sports and high performance goals.
The equipment and knowledge they have is elite.
And it was no surprise that Nick knocked it out of the park on his VO2 max scores. I won't share them but let's just say he is in elite territory for his age.
Oh forget it, I'll share his results...he was in the 100th percentile for his age.
Apparently that's pretty good. LOL.
I guess that's what happens when you go to the gym 5-6 days a week for 25 years and do weightlifting, Crossfit, Olympic Lifting, gymnastics and mobility work.
This week we're going to share some other crazy stats and numbers with you.
Check this out...
Look at some of the food price inflation going on right now:
 |
Wild, eh?
No wonder our grocery bills feel like they're going through the roof.
And check this out, here is the latest inventory numbers for pre-construction condos in Toronto:
 |
There is going to be some continued price pressure on new condos in Toronto which should trickle into softer rents in that space as well.
There is almost NO new inventory of condos coming on the market in 2028 and beyond, so we're going to go from a glut of condos to work through and absorb into the market to almost nothing.
Just completely wild times.
This is what the manipulation of money does. When central planners think they can control complex systems with central control, fixing the price of a market good like money, it throws wild distortions into the economy.
Entrepreneurs get feedback from the economy on where to place their efforts.
When the feedback is manipulated through controlled interest rates, the information is bad...and then we get bad allocation of capital.
But bankers and political parties like the control this gives them so the game continues.
Look at this chart outlining the growth of federal debt in the USA:

I look at that chart and get flashbacks to the Yugoslavian dinar's inflation run in the 1980s.
In the early 1980s inflation was running between 8%-20%.
In the mid-1980s it started accelerating and 50% annual inflation was common.
By 1994 it hit a monthly rate of 313 million percent. Yes, you read that correctly.
Prices doubled every 1.5 days. And my family and friends there would run to the stores if they got any dinars in the early 1990s to quickly exchange them for anything before the shelves were bare and/or prices rose again.
So forgive me when I see the price of groceries going up and get flashbacks to that era of the dinar.
Here's another wild stat to check out:

In crazy economic times you can get ahead financially, you just need to spend some time understanding how money works, what money is, and then allocate your dollars to the right places.
For us good hard assets like student rental properties have stood the test of time.
One single lease for 12 months.
Students leave every 2-3 years so you get to re-rent at market rates.
Parents back up the students' rent payments.
Respect the students and they respect the house.
And get this...
They cash flow from $800 - $1,000 per month when purchased the right way (by the right schools with the right amount of bedrooms).
And you get property management so they are hands off if you want them to be.
Next week, Mike Desormeaux, part of the Rock Star team, is hosting a class talking about this exact strategy along with 2 other strategies that are working right now.
You won't want to miss this.
This was based on a presentation Mike gave at the last YLYT Event and he was swarmed afterwards!
Mike recorded a little video about what's going on next week:

You won't want to miss this.
Mike doesn't share these things beyond his clients often so when he speaks, you'll want to listen! He has been a part of the Rock Star team for over 15 years and knows his stuff.
It's no surprise that institutions are looking into this space.

Solo investors have been dominating here for some time.
The world is a wild and crazy, and sometimes strange, place right now, but that doesn't mean you cannot navigate through it all and place yourself in a position to live life on your own terms.
It's 100% possible.
See ya next week!!
