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

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.
