Would Losing Your Job Tomorrow Be Financially Catastrophic?

In episode two of his Energy Professionals Financial Playbook series on The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin walks through what severance is really for, and why treating it like a bonus is one of the costliest mistakes people make after a layoff.

It is not about avoiding hard questions, it is about knowing the answers before you ever need them.

Rich Is What People See. Wealth Is What People Don't.

On this solo episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin breaks down why a nice truck, a big house, or a business class seat says a lot about someone's income and very little about their actual financial position.

He also shares one of his favourite questions to ask clients, and why the answer is almost never about money.

Six Minus Five Equals One

Sometimes the math on a balance sheet is a lot simpler, and a lot more sobering, than it looks.

On this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin shares a real story about a farm client carrying a note against their portfolio that nobody realized was there, and Trish explains why that kind of surprise is more common in farming than most people assume. Her advice is simple, do not avoid the problem, because there is usually more room to plan for it than families think.

Investing isn't an IQ test. It's an emotional test.

Some of the smartest people in finance have gone bankrupt. Meanwhile, people with average incomes quietly build extraordinary wealth. Why?

In this solo episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin walks through his summer reading list: seven books that he says won't tell you which stock to buy, but might change how you think about money, patience, and purpose.

From memory dividends to the freedom to say no, this one is worth a listen on your back deck.

The biggest financial planning mistake has nothing to do with math.

According to certified financial planner Lori Curtiss, it comes down to shame. The story you tell yourself about money was written in childhood, and it shapes every decision you make today.

In this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin sits down with Lori to unpack why so many people keep their heads in the sand, why avoidance costs more than any bad investment, and how to finally look at your finances without judgment.

Because as Lori puts it, there is no shame in not knowing. It's not your fault.

Nobody ever said "I stayed with my advisor because they sponsored a chuckwagon."

Stampede wrapped up in Calgary, and the branded tarps got Colin thinking about a question every business and every investor should ask: is this the best use of the money?

On this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin Andrews and Jacob Colwell dig into the difference between looking successful and actually building something successful. Why some of the wealthiest people they've met drive modest cars, why Costco spends nothing on appearances, and why Colin argues the boring stuff (returning phone calls, disciplined planning, avoiding emotional mistakes) is where value really gets created.

Get rich quick and get skinny quick have a lot in common. Neither one works.

This week on The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin and Greg welcome Phil McInnis, Chief Investment Strategist at Avantis Investors, who compares building wealth to building fitness. In his view, it's not the shortcuts that matter, it's the boring basics done consistently over decades.

From goal setting to factor investing to why your brain isn't wired for market swings, Phil shares what he thinks investors with 10, 20, or 30 years ahead of them should focus on.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺?

With the World Cup dominating everyone's feed right now, Colin Andrews used it as the jumping off point for this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast.

He points out that Canada makes up less than 3% of the global stock market, yet home country bias keeps a lot of investors overweight in familiar names. Just like a championship team needs more than one strong position, he suggests a portfolio needs more than one strong region.

Great companies do not always make great investments.

With AI stocks grabbing headlines lately, Colin and Greg ask the question a lot of investors skip: what are you actually paying for that future growth?

In this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, they talk through market concentration, the Magnificent Seven, and why a diversified portfolio usually beats chasing the next big theme, whether that's AI today or dot coms back in 2000.
