But as Kevin O'Leary reminds us, real financial freedom comes from discipline, strategy, and maximizing tax-sheltered opportunities that most overlook.

Whether you're earning over $200K annually or just starting to scale your incorporated business, this conversation will challenge your assumptions. We dive deep into why RRSPs are still one of the most underused tools for wealth creation, who’s actually maxing out their contribution room, and how the wealthiest Canadians are using strategies rooted in long-term thinking — not hype-driven returns.
