    What if you could pull money out of your Canadian corporation, grow your wealth, and dramatically reduce taxes—all at the same time?

    Most successful incorporated business owners in Canada face the same dilemma: profits are trapped inside the company, and pulling them out personally triggers massive tax hits. Many try to invest retained earnings directly or park them in GICs, but those strategies only delay or worsen the tax burden. In this episode, Kyle reveals a powerful “pass-through” structure that lets your money work in two places at once—while building in long-term protection and flexibility that traditional strategies miss entirely.

    You’ll discover:

    1. How to use a corporate-owned permanent insurance policy to grow retained earnings tax-free like a GIC—but with far greater upside.
    2. A strategy to leverage your policy to invest in real estate, ETFs, or private placements—so your dollars generate returns in two places simultaneously.
    3. A way to unlock tax-free capital for yourself and your heirs, transforming a typical tax liability into a wealth-building advantage.

    Press play to learn how to turn your corporation’s retained earnings into a dynamic, tax-efficient wealth engine.

    Discover which phase of wealth creation you are in. Take our quick assessment and you’ll receive a custom wealth-building pathway that matches your phase and learn our CRA compliant tax optimized strategies. Take that assessment here.

    • Why your corporate structure determines your wealth-building potential—and how to align it for maximum advantage.

    • Why inadequate financial statements can slash your valuation—and how to fix them before it’s too late.
    • How to reduce “key person risk” so your business runs smoothly without you at the helm.
    • Smart tax and structuring moves that protect your wealth and make your company more attractive to buyers.

    Should you really set up a holding company for tax savings—or could it actually cost you more in the long run?

    Many Canadians hear that incorporating is the golden ticket to tax efficiency and wealth building. But the truth is more nuanced. If you’re a T4 employee or just starting your real estate journey, rushing into a corporate structure might create unnecessary fees, added complexity, and even higher taxes. The real challenge is knowing when incorporation makes sense and when it’s better to stay personal with your investments. This episode unpacks the myths and realities so you don’t fall into an expensive trap.

    By tuning in, you’ll discover:

    • Why transferring personal investments into a holding company can backfire tax-wise.
    • The clear line between when to keep assets personal versus when a corporation truly adds value.
    • How to build a strategy that creates a tax problem worth solving—rather than a structure that solves nothing.

    Press play now to learn how to spot the right time—and the wrong time—to incorporate on your path to financial freedom.

    Are you letting too much of your business’s hard-earned cash sit idle when it could be working for you in multiple ways?

    As a business owner, you know the importance of having liquidity—an emergency or opportunity fund you can access instantly. But parking that money in a savings account or GIC often feels wasteful, especially when inflation eats away at its value. The challenge is balancing peace of mind with real growth. That’s where the idea of a “wealth reservoir” comes in: a structured way to protect cash, keep it liquid, and still put it to work building long-term wealth.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • How a whole life insurance policy can serve as a corporate wealth reservoir, giving you both liquidity and steady growth.
    • Practical strategies for deciding how much to contribute and how to scale as your retained earnings grow.
    • The emotional and financial considerations for starting small—and why most successful business owners eventually build multiple reservoirs.

    Press play now to learn how to transform idle corporate cash into a powerful engine for security, opportunity, and long-term wealth.
