Our deepest fear Is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and gabulous?" Who are you not to be? You are a child of the universe. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of the universe that is within us. It's not just in some of us; It is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Episode 25: Today we learn how Taylor Atkinson just made $1,675,000 in 7 years with a multifamily project. Today we do a deep dive on one of Taylor’s multifamily projects. He purchased in Creston BC for $1,575,000 and sold in 2023 for $3,250,000. If you want to dip your toe in multifamily investing or make a giant splash… you need to listen to this episode. Special note * Revised episode due to strategy changed to refinanced instead of selling. The equity take out was $2,050,000. So a great capital take out than the original purchase price just 7 years earlier.

Episode 24: Today we will be talking to Jon Albrecht. Although not born in Kelowna, Jon has spent the majority of his life here and can't imagine living anywhere else. He is following the lead of his father, Terry Albrecht, who was a member of the Ungaro Albrecht Courtney & Associates team for two decades. Like his father, he loves to make genuine connections with everyone around him. Jon and his team have been fortunate enough to be in the top 1% of Royal LePage Agents in Canada for most of the last decade, however, his biggest accomplishment is finding someone who would marry him! They welcomed their son in June of 2021. Although his athletic prime is decades behind him and the term "prime" being a loose term, he enjoys playing team sports (so other's can carry him) whenever possible.
