TEDM – Ron Butler – Housing Market Crisis – Is it Hopeless? (Episode 171) by Patrick Francey

“Why the conversation about mindset and why is it important? It’s not just about success, it’s not about getting shit done, it’s not about being uber successful in business or in life. It’s really how we approach business, how we approach life. It’s actually all about us and how we view the world.” – Patrick Francey

In today's ever-changing world, many individuals find themselves swept along by the currents of life, going with the flow, and simply reacting to the circumstances that come their way. Yet many yearn for living a more fulfilling and purposeful existence.

Join Patrick and Steffany as they discuss taking control of your destiny and proactively designing life by intentionally shaping your future self. Setting the trajectory for the life you desire in the context of creating a life by design.

Designing a life by intention means taking control of your destiny and consciously creating the future you envision for yourself. It involves setting clear goals, defining your values, and making choices that align with your desired outcomes. Instead of merely going through the motions or letting life happen to you, you become an active participant in shaping your own reality.

“I’m ready to work hard, I research, learn, keep my ears open, try to leverage what’s around me and work towards a goal. Those would be the skillsets that have served me really well over the years and the many different pivots that I’ve had over time.” – Colleen Matthews

Colleen Mathews is one of those special individuals who embraces growth and life by being a lifelong learner. She launched her career early on in Calgary Alberta with Price Waterhouse Cooper but then moved to the Cayman Islands where she worked for 12 years in the hedge fund industry. She earned her CFA designation in 2000 and returned to Canada in 2008 to raise her growing family and shift her professional attention to real estate investment. She continues to invest in real estate and to relentlessly learn, pursue knowledge, and grow in all aspects of her life.

Collen leverages her knowledge and experience as a financial professional and passionately believes financial education is essential knowledge that everyone should have access to.

In my conversation today Colleen shares valuable insights and lessons she’s learned through her many travels, amazing career and journey to living a life by design.

Listen in enjoy!

[0:42] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Colleen Matthews.

[01:47] Colleen and Patrick get the show rollin’. Colleen succinctly shares what she does and the high-level story of what brought her to real estate including some international stops!

[05:09] One of those stops was 12 years in the Cayman Islands working in finance, which proved to be far more fruitful than expected. Colleen’s time spent working there opened up some exciting doors in her professional life.

[07:18] Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Colleen grew up with a curiosity about life outside of what felt like a city too small for her entrepreneurial spirit. Although Colleen was always supported by and is grateful for her parents, as a self-described risk taker, she was also interested to take on life differently from them and try new things.

[11:43] Colleen describes the underlying drivers behind taking on a new experience in the Cayman Islands. Working with exciting top performers in a male-dominated industry helped to motivate and inspire Colleen to show up fully and sharpen her game.

[13:54] We can’t see opportunities, until we see what’s possible. Working as a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Financial Analyst in an international environment offered Colleen a far more diverse perspective. Learning from her team, role models, clientele and the nuances and attributes of different cultures helped to inform her own values.

[17:39] While a beneficial learning experience, Colleen explains why next achieving her CFA certification and working in the hedge fund industry was ultimately not a good fit.

[19:42] Colleen’s interest in real estate started back in Calgary after graduating from her CA program, with a hot market for apartment to condo conversions. Her first condo purchase proved to be a great investment, and due to the circumstances of being unable to buy in the Cayman Islands, buying a couple more condos in Canada made sense.

[21:41] Colleen recounts the history of an international life with her husband, and two kids, and then the tragic loss of her husband 10 years later. After a few years had passed, she found love again, which brought a beautiful, blended family. Eventually they all returned to Canada, but Colleen needed a change from the demanding hedge fund world and real estate simply ticked all the boxes.

[25:00] Set the 5-year plan, but no surprise, it changes. Colleen explains how she re-entered the Calgary real estate market, what her plan was, and when the realization came that she could leverage her time in a far more advantageous way. That a-ha moment allowed her business to grow monumentally.

[27:15] Guidance for someone interested in moving their life to live and work in a whole new environment, be it a different country or a different city. [hint: if you get the right opportunity, do it!] Colleen fully embraced and learned from the ex-pat community around her.

[30:14] Patrick and Colleen reflect on the courage and adversity quotient required to move to a place where a person does not speak the native language and the customs and experience of...

In this thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters Patrick and Steffany courageously delve into the fascinating realm of perception versus reality.

Listen in as they look under the hood of this complex engine that powers our view of the world. Together they share personal anecdotes to shed light on the moments when they found themselves confronted with the stark contrast between others' perception of them and their own reality of life and circumstances. These stories are reminders that what one person perceives as truth may not necessarily align with the tangible experiences and truths of another.

As they navigate an increasingly divisive and polarized world, Patrick and Steffany emphasize the importance of considering individual perspectives before proclaiming them as objective reality. They explore how our emotions and way of communicating can subtly, or not so subtly distort and skew our perception, causing us to lose sight of the reality unfolding around us. In this open conversation, they challenge you to question your own assumptions, inspiring a deeper look at the impact perception can have on the way we interpret and navigate the world.
