Our head of Fixed Income Strategy at RBC Dominion Securities, Luis Castillo, recently sat down with macro strategist Jim Bianco to talk inflation. Jim’s take? We've entered a structurally higher inflation environment driven by deglobalization, the shift to remote work, and the massive resource demands of AI infrastructure.

Watch the conversation to hear why he believes core inflation staying above 3% isn't a blip, but a new reality we need to plan around.

And if you want to hear what else the two discussed, reach out and I’d be happy share more about their conversation.

School’s out. Summer’s here.
And there’s no better time to teach our kids what school often doesn’t: how to handle money, responsibility, and the legacy they’ll one day inherit.

As families gear up for vacations and downtime, it’s also the perfect season to start conversations that matter — especially about the hard-earned wealth you’ve created and how it should shape the next generation.

Next generation wealth isn’t just about inheritance.
It’s about preparing your family with values, knowledge, and structure to carry it forward with purpose.

In our latest video, I share how we help families go beyond inheritance — and design lasting legacies through meaningful conversations and intentional planning.

"🎧📚 As much as I love to read books, I've discovered the sheer convenience and inspiration of listening to audiobooks. https://beusefulbook.com/ And let me tell you, there's something truly special when the author narrates their own work. Take Arnold Schwarzenegger, for instance. His narration not only brings authenticity to the words but also adds a whole new level of motivation! 🌟 If you're considering a new audiobook, I highly recommend choosing one where the author lends their voice. It's an experience like no other. Dive in and let their words inspire you! 💪 "
