15 Sep 2025
Watch the webinar on the Rockefeller Method now: https://shorturl.at/14eAL Is Canada officially in a recession—or are we just on the edge of one? On today's episode, Darren and Christina dive deep into the latest Canadian economic data, GDP numbers, trade wars, government finances, and what it all means for Canadian households and investors.

Darren and Christina share how Canadians can prepare, protect their wealth, and seize opportunities: Building liquidity and financial control Why high-cash-value life insurance (infinite banking) is a recession-proof tool How to avoid selling at a loss when markets dip Positioning yourself for once-in-a-lifetime real estate, business, and investment deals Tune in now!
