Episode 3 features a conversation with our colleague Jordan Calibaba, where we unpack his journey from a sports injury to building a career in the financial industry. We dive into his background, who he was before business, the adversity that forced a pivot, and the personal growth that followed once he committed to a new path. This episode is about resilience, mindset shifts, and how setbacks can become setups for something bigger

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

In Part 2, Jake and I get more focused and dig into why people say they want change but struggle to commit to it. We break down the gap between intention and action, why motivation fades, and how trying to do too much too fast leads to burnout.

We talk about making small, actionable steps, building habits, and creating systems that actually make change stick long-term—without relying on hype or New Year motivation.

Everyone loves New Year’s resolutions—until February hits.

In this episode, Jake and I talk about why we don’t believe in resolutions, how unrealistic expectations set people up to fail, and why consistency matters more than motivation. The conversation was completely unplanned and we definitely get sidetracked along the way, but that’s where some of the best insights come out.

In Part 2 of Episode 1, we dive into my background—my years playing sports, grinding it out in warehouses, and where my hustle really comes from. We talk about the mindset sports gave me, the work ethic built in the trenches, and how those experiences shaped the way I look at money and opportunity.

I break down my early experiences with finances, what I saw that didn’t sit right, and why I ultimately chose to join a company that’s focused on doing things differently—and better—within the financial industry.

This episode is about earned perspective, real work, and choosing a path that actually makes an impact. If you’ve ever felt like there had to be more than just clocking in and out, this conversation will hit home.

Welcome to the first episode of Chair Chats.

In this episode, we introduce my co-host Jake and his background—playing football in Calgary, his time working at ATB, and what led him to transition into our business.

This episode is simply an introduction to who we are, where we come from, and the experiences that shaped our paths.

Pull up a chair. We’re just getting started.
