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.

Striving for perfection is an unattainable goal because you are inherently imperfectly perfect. In this episode, Owen and I delve into the concept that as an individual, you are already perfect.

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.

In this episode, Owen and I have a relaxed conversation about this phenomenon that has plagued our society. What discuss:

Qualifying ourselves before we speak
Understanding microaggressions
Men becoming weaker
How words are used against us

It seems that the talk and understanding of personal finance is slowly moving away from us. As I observe the upcoming generation, I’m noticing there’s a lack of financial literacy being taught and making them understand how this is a core aspect in them having fulfilling lives. In this episode, Owen and I go deep in discussing how schools, and the system have eliminated the platform to learn essential skills in making money. We dive in the psychology of making money, and how every adult who has a kid can set the foundational principles on how to view money.We discuss:- How schools don’t teach us about money- People don’t know how to save- Parents starting a business with their children- Buying expensive things- Financial traps people get into- Learning material to read to get a better understanding of moneyAnd more!

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?And more!

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.

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.

As you get older, making friends becomes more challenging. We get bogged down with raising our families, and growing our relationships with our spouses and forming new bonds becomes tougher. For men, we have our established friendships but how do we form new ones?

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.

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.

Realtors have to adopt a video strategy to survive
Virtual Reality in real estate
Emerging platforms realtors have to use in 2023

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.

In our chat we discuss:

How media is a vehicle for satanic symbolism
COVID’s effect on relationships
Technology’s evolution on providing us with access to anything we want

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.

Welcome back DC family! In today’s episode, we’re going to be discussing how the media crafts misleading narratives around the real estate market. They exaggerate their headlines and write their articles with half-truths.

Owen and I are going to be talking about this ⁠article that BlogTO wrote⁠ a month ago. The headline is “Nobody is buying Toronto homes anymore as demand drops to the lowest level in years.” If you live in Toronto, you know that is not true. As a realtor, my issue with this is that many of prospective buyers & sellers will read headlines like this and be misinformed. With misinformation, people will make decisions that can have a major impact on their lives.

There are many articles like this online and it’s time I finally share my thoughts on it.

In this episode, I will be speaking about this and more. Topics we discuss are:

Where you go to find the right information on the market
