The Elevate Report

This week we chat how Heat Pump theft has increased the past couple weeks, why you shouldn't feel guilty for saying no to round up for charity, Facebook "claiming" the Metaverse, and CEO of Barstool Dave Portnoy in the midst of some serious PR issues. We hope we don’t overload your brain too much as we look to give you another great hour of "Edu-tainment"!

We are joined by 21 year old Hunter Butts to discuss how he purchased a duplex in 2021, the prejudices he dealt with, and how he pulled off such an amazing feat against all odds. Additionally we also discuss the Great Resignation, Supply Chain Issues, and the U.S. government entertaining the idea of taxing unrealized gains. It's a full meal kind of episode and we're happy to have you!

This week we discuss the NS Conservative government’s choice to keep temporary rent control in place until the end of 2023. Whether or not to invest in an RRSP account, Justin Trudeau’s questionable decisions, and a cautionary tale Dalton gives about the world of Crypto. It’s a loaded show and we’re grateful to have you!

Yes, you're going to need to listen to the episode in context to understand that title. Currently we have multiple projects on the go that we can't wait to release to you but due to those other projects we weren't able to record a full episode this week. Luckily we have an episode that we recorded back in March of this year that we never released until today. We chat about Burger King's International Women's Day blunder, Gen Z trying to cancel Eminem, Bitcoin, and so much more. We're excited to release this conversation to you today!

This week we tackle an issue that causes some of the most stress, fights, and mental health problems in our lives. Consumer debt. Josh & Dalton address their own issues they've had with large amounts of debt, how they conquered it, and maintained habits that have helped their net worth to grow. We hope their stories can help you on your journey!

Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is the government branch of Canada who oversees and regulates the Telecom industry across the country. In this week's show we reveal some information about the agency that not everyone is aware of but we wanted to bring to light. Additionally the crew responds to criticisms about last week's show regarding the Halifax Toll Bridges, and Dalton gives an emotionally charged take on the Dalhousie Homecoming debacle. Just about everything you need for your Monday morning!

The crew dives head first into China’s largest Real Estate company Evergrande. We deliberate if the company's demise will trigger a global market collapse, what that means for everyday Canadians, and how to minimize negative impact in a financial down turn. No punches are pulled during this one, we hope to bring you a good dose of edu-tainment during the next hour. 

No, it’s not just a hunch. It is statistically verified that Canada has the most expensive phone plans in the world. This week the crew talks the logistics of what keeps Canadian phone plans so high, how the big 3 worked to keep Verizon out of Canada, and what keeps the small players from having a big impact in the country. It’s a jam packed episode and we hope to bring you value over the next hour!

It's a JUICY episode this week. Producer Mac spills the tea on how her current landlord hid apartment Roaches from her so she would sign a lease. The crew chats the upcoming election and how each party platform could potentially affect business owners in Canada. Lastly, due to popular demand for our Wild Card segment we discuss Vax Mandates and what that could mean for Nova Scotians and Canadians at large. It's a jam packed episode and we hope to keep you locked in for the next hour!
