hustle. stack. invest. repeat. Podcast

Getting funding in Canada isn’t the same as what you see on social media. Zero-down deals, flashy U.S. playbooks, and clickbait advice rarely apply here. That’s why we sat down with Charles Kayitaba — better known as CK the Broker — financial advisor, mortgage agent, and co-founder of The Money Mint.

In this episode, Charles breaks down the real Canadian funding landscape:

• The truth about business and franchise loans in Canada
• How the Canadian Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP) actually works
• Why Canadian banks are more conservative than U.S. banks
• The importance of home equity, credit, and personal guarantees
• Why relationships > money when it comes to getting approved
• A barbershop success story: from poor credit to multiple locations
• How community and cultural strategies accelerate growth
• Why financial literacy and representation matter for Canada’s future economy

This conversation is a must-listen for any entrepreneur, aspiring franchise owner, or business buyer who wants to understand how to navigate Canadian banks and lenders.
