The Your Life. your terms. experience starts in...
The Your Life. Your Terms. Event attracts a rare kind of crowd...
Real estate investors, entrepreneurs, business owners, side hustlers, and everyday Canadians who have made the decision to live life differently.
You’ll be surrounded by the kind of people who don’t need to be told the system is broken. They know. And they’re doing something about it.
They're here because they believe in taking control of their own life and not waiting for permission. This is a room where conversations go beyond the surface – where people share real stories and connect over shared values.
You’ll meet investors at every level from absolute beginners to experienced investors who've done it all.
The energy in the room is electric, focused, fast-moving, and full of possibility. If you ever felt alone on your journey, that ends the moment you walk through the doors.
Hey there,
Welcome to the Your Life. Your Terms. Event!
The ground beneath us is shifting faster than a light speed jump.
The world feels uncertain. Strange. Almost unrecognizable compared to even 20 months ago.
You can feel it in the headlines.
You can feel it at the grocery store checkout.
You can feel it when you talk to your kids about their future.
The rules of money, work, and freedom are being rewritten right in front of us.
Old systems are cracking.
What once felt safe now feels fragile.
And yet, in the middle of this storm, something incredible is happening…
New opportunities are emerging at warp speed…hidden to most, but obvious to those who know where to look.
Because the truth is this: in times of chaos, opportunity doesn’t disappear. It multiplies.
Technology is rewriting the rules overnight.
AI isn’t coming. It’s here. And it’s already reshaping jobs, careers, savings, investing - everything.
Think about it. For centuries, muscle and bone powered the economy…
Then machines replaced labour during the Industrial Revolution.
What was left was knowledge. The “white collar” worker was elevated…status, security, prestige…all built on brainpower.
Then the Information Age supercharged these knowledge workers, opening up vast new opportunities.
But now? The same way machines replaced muscle…software is replacing knowledge.
AI is doing in seconds what once required years of training. Credentials are no longer the shield they once were.
Meanwhile, governments around the world are completely broke, yet they continue to spend as if their credits are limitless.
Inflation eats at your future like a shadowy Empire, draining the value of your dollars before you even spend them.
And the pace of change? It’s exponential. Humans aren’t wired to process the second-order effects of exponential change—but make no mistake, that change is already here.
Most people—your friends, neighbours, co-workers—are still asleep to it.
But not you. Not the ones gathering at this event.
At the Your Life. Your Terms. Event, you’ll join a community of modern-day Jedi, arming themselves with the insights and strategies needed to push back against the system and claim freedom for their families.
Here’s what we’re preparing for you:
Every day you wait, the Empire of broken systems grows stronger.
But when you gather with others fighting the same fight…sharing knowledge, strategies, and victories…your odds of winning skyrocket.
That’s what makes this event different.
It’s not just the content. It’s the community…
Ordinary Canadians becoming extraordinary by standing shoulder-to-shoulder, exchanging strategies, and helping each other experience the force of living life on their terms.
The words of Master Yoda echo louder today than ever before.
Because in a world of broken systems and shifting ground, hesitation is the enemy.
Waiting is surrender.
On Saturday, October 18, 2025, you’ll have a choice:
This is your moment to decide.
If you're looking for REAL data-backed insights on local real estate, combined with practical on-the-streets strategies, delivered by local, active real estate investors who are in the trenches every single day...AND experience-driven talks on how to become your own boss, scale your business, and master your health & body...then you'll 'dig' this Fall's YLYT Event line up. Check it out below:
Ben is an expert economic analyst, founder of North Cove Advisors, and one of Canada’s best when it comes to reporting on real estate data, population trends, and credit expansion.
His no-holds-barred style is perfect for delivering the very latest on what is going on with housing across the country.
During this talk, we’ll get the very latest data points on provinces and cities across the country so that you can be better informed when making your real estate decisions.
Listings, sales, number of leases, rent amounts by property type, interest rate forecasts, and more.
Whether you’re buying a rental or selling your primary place of residence, Ben’s insights are sure to give you the clarity you’re looking for.
We’ve subscribed to Ben’s Edge Real Estate Analytics for years and used his analysis to test our own thinking on where housing in Canada is headed.
This will be a powerful talk, followed by the opportunity for some Q&A, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet Ben afterwards.
We’ve had Ben out once before at a different event years ago and he was a big hit…we’re sure he’s going to over-deliver again.
Unstoppable global forces are about to hit Canada’s shores and there’s nothing to do except to be aware of them and prepare yourself and your family.
These trends have been brewing for multiple decades and they’re converging on us all at the same time.
The global debt loads are too high, interest rates were kept artificially low for too long, productivity that was once a benefit to the economy is now deflationary, natural population growth is in decline…it’s all leading to massive shifts that most are not prepared for.
This isn’t hype. This is a reality we must face.
Widely available Artificial Intelligence, barely 24 months old, is here and its impact on entry-level jobs, customer service roles, and junior computer science careers is already obvious.
We’re old enough to remember when the Internet went mainstream and many economists dismissed it as a “nothing burger”…nothing more than a new type of fax machine.
We were working inside the tech industry and knew that to be false.
Databases, e-commerce, software as a service, mobile applications, and the iPhone would go on to change our economy forever.
These tech companies and the “Magnificent 7” became the largest companies in the world.
Today, these companies, unbelievably, are under threat from the exact technology that they released.
The phrase “software is eating the world” (attributed to Netscape founder and Venture Capitalist, Marc Andreessen) has been true for years…and now today software is eating itself.
What does that mean? We’ll explain it all in this update.
And we’ll share how the coming wave of AI with robotics is going to change our lives forever and unleash some trends that we can ride.
We’ll start at the beginning and give an update of global macro trends and how they’re impacting Canada.
We’ll then dive into the big economic shifts that are in process right now and outline some key components of them that we’re monitoring with great interest.
You won’t want to miss this.
In fact, you can’t afford to miss this Rock Star Economic Update.
It’s been years since we’ve seen a mortgage announcement that excited us. This one just blew us away.
Dave Butler, founder of Better Mortgage Select and Better Mortgages, will be in-house to share the very latest on 5 new, exclusive, mortgage programs now available to Rock Star Inner Circle Members.
One of the programs allows you to remove the risk of doing any renovations to an investment property by guaranteeing an “after reno” appraised value BEFORE you begin the project.
As an investor one of the largest risks you take is guessing what the banks will appraise your property after a “second-suite update” or “garden suite addition”.
This removes that risk and gives you the construction funds to do the project. It’s a ground breaking new mortgage program.
Also, there’s new updates to vacation rental, medium and short-term rental property financing that you won’t want to miss, along with 3 other mortgage updates.
If you’ve been to any Your Life. Your Terms. Events in the past you know we don’t put any mortgage professionals on the stage unless they have big news…and this is big.
Dave will be sharing the latest on appraised values he is seeing on these projects and details of how to access them. You won’t want to miss this!
There’s nothing like getting specific real estate updates from the source.
On this panel, we’re bringing together the people who are doing the deals, making the developments and closing the transactions.
Greybrook Realty Partners will be in-house to share what they’re seeing on the large scale development projects in Canada and in the USA.
Which markets are rising, which are not, and what property types are most popular with the big guys right now.
Our very own Mike Desormeaux will be sharing what he’s seeing in different cities across Ontario and where investors are most active right now.
Craig Race, of Craig Race Architecture, will be there to give us the absolute latest updates on Toronto zoning bylaws for multiplexes, ADUs, and share some of his latest (mind bending!) projects.
Rock Star Andrew Palhetas will facilitate an open Q&A with the guests so you can get all your questions answered.
The whole goal of the Your Life. Your Terms. Events is to support each other as we venture on our own journeys and its these types of discussions that do it best.
Everyone on this panel is blunt and to-the-point and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Forget the headlines, forget the mainstream media...this panel has billions of dollars of combined experience.
We believe that after this you’re going to have more direct insight into the state of the real estate market across North American than anyone else in the country!
It’s no secret that we believe owning assets is the primary way to live life on your terms.
Some you can buy…real estate, Bitcoin etc.
Some you can create yourself…a cash flowing business.
But we’re not taught how to create businesses or streams of income in school.
And worse some of the information that we are exposed to makes business building seem like a mythical adventure of luck and good fortune.
This isn’t the case at all.
How do we know?
Because we attempted many businesses before Rock Star.
We built websites, earned referral fees for generating leads, trading stock options, did some database consulting, worked landscaping side hustles, tested out affiliate marketing, went viral in Canada with a sales website that got national attention for zero cost, etc.
But through all of that we just couldn’t create a business or side hustle that would spin off enough cash flow to support us.
Then we discovered the power of marketing. And not any type of marketing, but direct response marketing.
Next, we learned about the proper metrics we needed to analyze weekly in order to build a business from scratch to 8-figures.
When we married those two together we went from $80K in business debt (back when $80K felt like a lot more than today!!)…to pure business building freedom.
In this talk, we’re going to walk though it all and share an updated business building blueprint, that by itself, to us, is priceless.
This a principle-based talk with a mix of marketing strategies and business building tactics.
What you’ll learn can be applied to any market, in any media, in any country.
We’re sharing hundreds of thousands of dollars of education and millions of dollars of experience in this discussion and consider it some of our most prized knowledge.
We’ve all said it.
“There’s more to life than money”.
It’s true.
But even though people try to appreciate their health it’s probably the one thing most taken for granted as well.
It’s treated like a property owned by an out-of-town investor with an absentee property manager.
Ignored.
Let’s be honest, without your health it doesn’t matter how much investing success you’ve had. Is it really life on your terms?
Maybe this approach is a symptom of our medical system.
After all, it’s built on being reactive to problems after they occur instead of any focus on helping people live life the life they desire: full of energy and focus allowing them to do what they want, how they want.
For 10 years, Dr. Kaitlin Link treated patients in the emergency room whose conditions often could have been prevented with earlier intervention.
She grew tired of the system’s focus on reactive “sick care,” rather than investing in high-leverage preventative and proactive care.
She founded Benchmark Proactive Health in 2023, to equip people to take control of their health so they can feel their best – today, and in the decades to come.
Now Kaitlin dedicates her time to helping people TRULY understand their health, habits and the impact they have on their day to day activities and longevity.
She'll be sharing what she's seeing people do to transform their health and feel their best, with the data to back it up.
