Most entrepreneurs believe working harder is the answer. More hours. More hustle. More grind. But what if the real breakthrough isn't doing more — it's doing less of the wrong things?

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell and explain how Canadian entrepreneurs can scale faster by delegating low-value tasks, focusing on $1,000–$10,000 activities, and building systems that create leverage. This one could change how you structure your entire week.

Canada doesn't have a formal death tax — but that doesn't mean death is simple or inexpensive. When someone passes away, taxes can be triggered immediately through deemed disposition, and on top of that, probate fees may apply depending on the province. Many Canadians confuse these two costs, and that confusion can lead to serious planning gaps.

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down what probate actually is, how probate fees vary across Canada, what assets flow through probate, and what strategies can reduce delays and unnecessary costs. More importantly, they explain why probate isn't just about fees — it's about timing, privacy, executor stress, and making life easier for your family when they're already dealing with loss.

We're flipping the script for this month's entrepreneurial spotlight series and Darren is taking his turn in the hot seat!

Should incorporated Canadian business owners contribute to an RRSP — or is it quietly working against them?

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down what an RRSP actually is (a tax deferral, not a wealth strategy), why the "you'll be in a lower tax bracket in retirement" assumption often fails for successful business owners, and how forced RRIF withdrawals + OAS claw backs can create a much higher effective tax rate later.

Entrepreneurship isn't built on highlight reels — it's built on hard decisions, uncomfortable moments, and learning how to survive uncertainty.

From walking away from a secure corporate career, to $0 months, near-business-ending moments, and learning how to pivot under pressure — Darren shares the lessons most entrepreneurs only learn the hard way.

Canada's economy feels uncertain heading into 2026 — but are the headlines telling the full story? On today's episode it's the February update and Darren and Christina break down what's really happening with the Bank of Canada, inflation, interest rates, real estate, stock markets, and Bitcoin.

They cover why markets can rise even when the economy feels weak, what Canadian investors should actually be paying attention to, and how smart investors are positioning themselves right now. If you're worried about inflation, housing affordability, or where to invest in 2026, this episode brings clarity without hype. Tune in now!

Choosing the right advisor is the most overlooked — and most important — part of implementing an Infinite Banking or high cash value life insurance strategy.

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down the 8 critical questions you must ask any advisor before committing to Infinite Banking, corporate-owned life insurance, or the Rockefeller Method.

They explain why infinite banking is a long-term strategy, not a product, how poor advisor selection leads to costly mistakes, and how the right advisor helps you use policies for business growth, real estate, retirement planning, and estate preservation.

Most Canadians think retirement is about hitting a number but on today's episode, Darren and Christina break down why that mindset can quietly destroy your plan. They expose the biggest retirement lies in Canada: "I'll be in a lower tax bracket," "CPP/OAS will cover me," "inflation won't be that bad," and why the 4% rule can lead to underspending (or worse). You'll learn the five retirement risks that can cut retirement income in half — and what a "volatility buffer" can do to protect your withdrawals in down markets.

Most retirement plans ignore the exact risks that show up when it matters most. If you want a plan that's built for real Canadian retirement math — start here.

Well we've officially made it to the end of our Rockefeller Method Series! This episode closes it all out by bringing everything together into one complete system.

The Rockefeller Method isn't a product you buy or a strategy you "try." It's a long-term framework built on certainty, structure, and intentional living. In this final chapter, Darren and Christina explain why wealth doesn't fail because of markets or bad investments — it fails when families don't pass down wisdom alongside money.

On today's episode, we're back with our entrepreneurial spotlight series and joining Darren is Giovanni Marsico, founder of Archangel and creator of Destiny Fest — one of the most ambitious community-driven entrepreneurial platforms in the world.

What actually happened with our 2025 predictions — and what does 2026 really look like for Canadians?

In our annual predictions episode, Darren and Christina review last year's forecasts and hold themselves accountable for what they got right, what they missed, and what changed. From there, they break down what the data, policy decisions, and economic realities suggest for 2026.

Big goals don't create results — consistent execution does. In our annual goal setting episode, Darren and Christina share how they personally plan their year using a framework that blends EOS-style 90-day planning, daily habit systems, anti-goals, and weekly scorecards.

You'll learn why annual goals alone don't drive behavior, how to break big goals into manageable checkpoints, and how small daily actions compound into massive progress over time. The conversation also covers why perfection isn't required, how to recover quickly when you fall off track, and how to keep momentum going without burnout.

Most people don't realize that choosing the wrong dividend option can completely undermine a whole life insurance strategy.

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down every dividend option available inside a participating whole life policy — and explain why Paid-Up Additions (PUAs) are not just the best option, but the only option that consistently delivers long-term wealth, liquidity, and control.

You worked hard. You took the risk. You built the business. So why does it feel like the CRA is the biggest partner you never invited in?

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down the most dangerous corporate cash traps business owners fall into — often without even realizing it. From passive income clawbacks to estate planning disasters, these mistakes quietly erode your profits and limit your future options.

This is required listening for Canadian business owners who want control, flexibility, and tax efficiency — not surprises from the CRA.

In Part 9 of The Rockefeller Method series, Darren and Christina break down the most overlooked part of wealth building: your team. They reveal how wealthy families like the Rockefellers use a family office mindset, coordinated advisors, and clear governance to protect wealth for generations.

You'll learn why most Canadians focus only on products, while the rich obsess over alignment between accountants, lawyers, planners, and insurance specialists. They also show how to apply this in Canada using corporate-owned life insurance, the capital dividend account (CDA), and high cash value policies.

Most entrepreneurs think they need more clients. Chris Cooper says they actually need better math.

In December's edition of our entrepreneurship series, Darren sits down with Chris Cooper as they break down The Simple Six – the six metrics every business owner MUST understand if they want to stop grinding and start growing:

1. Client head count (HEAD)

2. Average revenue per member (ARM)

3. Length of engagement (LEG)

4. Effective hourly rate

5. ROI on your expenses

6. Net owner benefit

Can you believe it's already December! What a year we've had and Darren and Christina are back for the last monthly update of 2025. In this episode, they'll cover:

• Bank of Canada's final rate decision of the year and what stubborn inflation means for borrowers

• Why the Canadian dollar is stuck around 71–73 cents and what could shake it loose

• Stock markets defying expectations with double-digit gains year-to-date

• Canada's soft but stable housing market and where motivated sellers are showing up

• The new memorandum of understanding for a pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast and what it could mean for Canada's economy

• Strong earnings from Canada's big insurers and why whole life insurance keeps dominating

• A very cool health perk: multi-cancer early detection testing through Manulife Vitality

• A quick recap of the Rockefeller Method Masterclass and what's coming next on the podcast

Inflation is the biggest tax Canadians never voted for – and most people don't even realize they're paying it. On today's episode, Darren and Christina expose how inflation erodes purchasing power, widens the wealth gap, and punishes Canadians who don't own assets.

On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down the 2025 Canadian federal budget! They unpack why this so-called "once-in-a-generation" plan looks more like deficits on steroids, with a projected $78.3B deficit this year and national debt heading toward $2.9 trillion by 2029.

They dive into exploding interest costs, Ottawa's controversial net debt-to-GDP spin using CPP, and what this all means for taxes, interest rates, small business owners, and Canadian families. If you care about Canadian politics, fiscal responsibility, and building wealth in a high-tax, high-debt environment, this is a must-watch.

In Part 8 of The Rockefeller Method series, Darren and Christina break down one of the most powerful chapters in What Would the Rockefellers Do? — "Maximize Your Financial Efficiency and Earning Potential."

On this month's entrepreneurial spotlight, Darren and Christina sit down with Caleb Bowers, President of Bowers Construction, to unpack how he went from being laid off, losing $70,000 in a single year, and driving a truck he couldn't afford… to building one of Atlantic Canada's most respected custom home brands.
