Of course, when the boss is down, we have to force him to a Rider game! Though we weren't sure he would make it out of there wearing a Stamps jersey!

Last week our RVP came down to talk game plan.
We huddled up and talked strategy.
What do we need to do to lead the league in our industry?
Who are our key players?
What are our strengths?
Where can we provide the most value?
And most importantly, how do we get great advice in the hands of more people and score the winning touchdown for our clients?
Our sights are set on the end zone!
We’re reading the defense, finding the gaps, and constantly looking for ways to create better opportunities for our clients.
We take pride in what we do.
We wear our logo proudly!
We work hard in and out of the office and show up every day ready to go to work!
With strong leadership, great coaching, and a team that believes in the game plan, we are focused on one thing:
Protecting more families, helping more clients, and continuing to raise the bar!
We’re coming for the top of the league!
LET’S GO RIDERS!
LET’S GO RBC Insurance!

I was listening to Dana White on The Diary of a CEO recently, and something he said about being a business owner really stuck with me.

He talked about how seriously he takes the responsibility of taking care of his employees, because he knows that their livelihoods, and the livelihoods of their families, depend on the success of the business.

That really hit home for me.

Because there are families behind every employee.
Kids. Spouses. Mortgages. Bills. Dreams. Real lives depend on that person being healthy and able to provide.

As a business owner, one of the best ways you can take care of your people is to make sure they have proper insurance and benefits in place.
Health and dental are important, but so are disability, critical illness, life insurance and making sure their families are protected when life doesn’t go as planned.

Taking care of your employees isn’t just a nice thing to do. It’s part of being a business owner.

If you’re a business owner and haven’t reviewed your group benefits or employee coverage recently, send me a message. I would be happy to have a conversation and see if there is anything we can improve. As well as hosting a lunch and learning to go over a group plan with us and your employees, give them a chance to ask questions, and book times to go over their individual needs.

Your people are counting on you.

A pretty incredible few days with an incredible team.

The day after conference some of us took the opportunity so spend some time together in Banff and Lake Louise, it was a great reminder that some of the best part of a career have nothing to do with the work itself.

Getting out of the office, experience a place like this, sharing some laughs, and having some great conversations and getting to know the people you work alongside on a different level that I do not take for granted.

The scenery was unbelievable, but honestly the people and the laughs made the trip. The mountains are a reminder of just how small we are, but how over time we have the ability to create something amazing, something bigger than ourselves, and a legacy of our time here.

Grateful to be a part of this team and looking forward to supporting each other and pushing one another to reach our goals and help more people moving forward.

A few days I won't forget.

Phew what a whirlwind it has been since our annual conference!

A couple of weeks ago, the Saskatchewan team and i headed to Calgary for our 2026 Annual field sales conference, and it was definitely worth the trip!

We had a great few days of learning, connecting and sharing ideas with sessions covering estate planning, marketing, and our 2026 performance thus far. With so many great conversations with the entire Western team we had plenty of takeaways to bring back with us.

One of my favorite parts was getting together with the Saskatchewan team, as well as our colleagues from British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba to share in the fun and excitement. It's always more memorable when you can share the experience with a great group of people.

And then there was the mentalist, and lets just say there were a few moments that left us wondering how on earth he tricked us!

It was such a great experience and i am so grateful to connect with everyone and be apart of it. It was amazing to see how much impact we have made, but also look at our goals for the future!

The hardest part of investing isn’t choosing the right investment.
It’s managing yourself.
Markets go up.
Markets go down.
Headlines get scary.
Someone always seems to have a “better” investment.
And that’s exactly where investors can get into trouble.
I recently revisited RBC GAM’s 10 Basic Truths of Investing, and one message really stood out:
Successful investing isn’t about predicting what happens next. It’s about being prepared for what happens next.
That means:
→ Diversifying instead of betting everything on one idea.
→ Staying invested instead of trying to perfectly time the market.
→ Managing risk instead of trying to eliminate it.
→ Looking beyond the headlines.
→ Understanding that what matters most isn’t what the market does—it’s how you respond.
→ And most importantly, having a plan instead of simply owning a collection of investments.
Here’s the uncomfortable question:
Do you actually have an investment plan… or do you just have investments?
Because those are two very different things.
If you’re wondering whether your portfolio is actually aligned with your goals, your timeline and the amount of risk you’re comfortable taking, let’s talk.
No pressure. No sales pitch.
Just a conversation about whether what you’re doing makes sense.
What’s the biggest investing question you’ve been afraid to ask? Drop it in the comments or send me a message.

The principles of successful investing have been tested over time. RBC GAM Senior Portfolio Manager Sarah Riopelle breaks them down in this educational article.

We don't often picture our future self. We can't easily imagine a day when our income stops, or when a critical illness changes everything.

That's exactly why insurance matters.

In this short conversation, Tony Chapman and Sean Donnelly talk about the K-shaped economy and what it means for Canadian families. Whether you're focused on protecting the wealth you've built, or making sure your family is covered no matter your budget, the conversation is about one thing: building a bridge between who you are today and who you'll need to be tomorrow.

If you've been meaning to revisit your coverage or have a question you haven't asked yet, contact me today.

Understanding the the differences between mortgage protection insurance and Life insurance can really change the outcome in the event of losing a loved one. It's a questions I ask home owners all the time how their mortgage is protected, and if they understand the core difference. Unfortunately, many client's don't understand, and that is just because no one has taken the time to explain the key differences to them.

But when it comes to being able to pay off that liability, and protecting our loved ones in the event of losing an income earner, the differences matter, the choice matters. But you don't have to make the choice alone.

Life is unpredictable. While you can’t plan for everything, you can take steps to protect your family from financial risk. Having the right insurance can provide peace of mind and help ensure your loved ones are cared for.

If you would like help on what decision is best for you, reach out! A short review can offer you peace of mind, and ensure that you have coverage that makes sense.

Mortgage protection insurance and life insurance are two very different products. Understanding the difference will help Canadians make the best choice for their insurance needs.
