In this weeks episode, Austin, Amer, and John, discuss their knowledge of mortgages including how mortgages are designed, what they entail, and how they react differently in different economic states. And as you can tell by the title… The first four letters are capitalized to give a bilingual play on words… Because MORT means DEAD

Once you start spending time with yourself… you notice all the things you want for yourself. How could you be with others when you can’t even be with yourself?

Listeners, have you ever taken yourself out for a dinner and a movie? 😉

Austin, Amer, and John, have an interesting conversation this week about how if you don’t like being alone you may suffer from not liking things about yourself. Amer suggests that we write those things down and go make an effort to fix it.

There’s people we all know that we just don’t like spending too much time around – whether it’s because they swear a lot, have some bad vibes, they don’t take care of their health etc. That could very well be you.

Theory by Amer: Superman lives in the Fortress of Solitude. Maybe there’s something to be said about a man’s power and the amount of time he spends alone.

In this weeks podcast, Merlyn (me) shares an ongoing challenge that she’s been having that Austin identifies with - a personality combination of impatience and neuroticism.

Meaning that you’re very impatient to drive results in your life, so you’re never willing to stop working, and you want to control all variables at all times for optimal results. Austin shares that he has an immense amount of discomfort leaving his business in the hands of anyone else for an extended period of time because neuroticism also plays into seeing the worst case scenario when there’s no control.

Listeners, I would absolutely love to know which one of you feel that you share these traits and how you feel this lethal combo plays out in different areas of your life.

EP 156 | Audaciously Auditing Austin

In this week’s episode, Austin shares how despite him being a part of The Weekly Call, he continues to practice behaviours that are counter to his goals.

He admits that he hasn’t read a book in five months, he hasn’t meditated in five months, he hasn’t had an impromptu date night with Miranda in a long time all in while his business has sustained success and continues to hit its milestones.

John points out that balancing various areas of your life - balancing health, wealth, love, and happiness, are critical to seeing quality of life improve in general.

Amer provides a great analogy of cumulating water to nurture your plants then delaying watering your plants because you’re intending to accumulate even more water for it.

There is so much to learn from this conversation for everyone who chooses to prioritize career advances over other aspects of life, and in turn is unsatisfied with their life.

Later on in the episode, the guys also have an interesting conversation about how they would be considering their lifestyle in the midst of a recession.

EP 155 | Do You Know Why You Know Certain Things?

In this week’s podcast, Amer does some interesting probing into Austin‘s habits of running his business.

How many times do you think you’ve given up doing the executive tasks you need to be doing because you’ve gotten caught up in administrative tasks instead?

Easier said than done - I think most of us would agree that if you’re running your own business you want to in fact be consumed with tasks like systemizing the role of your irreplaceable employees (shout out to Jocelyn and Gabe 😎) so they are in fact duplicatable or replaceable in the event that it’s needed! Instead I’m sure many of us get caught up doing the tasks of these employees ourselves because we end up not staying focused on our roles in the company.

In this week's episode, the guys share some interesting stories about how they have evolved in learning through their businesses over the years.

When Austin is in a scenario where he is marketing and he removes himself from his attachments of doing it for six years, he is able to look past his ego and “considerations” about what kind of a marketer he is. Although you may have many transferrable skills from your past experiences, it's important to acknowledge that you are in a fresh craft and learning scenario.

On a similar note, John had his ass humbly handed to him by a lady who goes by the name of Michelle who was legally blind when he started jujitsu for the first time. Although we may all feel that we can handle ourselves in a fight sometimes, we simultaneously don't know what we don't know about fighting either.

We’ve gotten feedback over the years that our listeners are big fans of EXORCISMS

Although that might sound like a bit extreme – we are not talking about real exorcisms here :)

It is a “thought exorcism” or “belief exorcism”. Even though Austin, John, and Amer are close and notably similar in many ways, they have their own blind spots about how to best live their lives and how their beliefs have been developed over time. I’m sure it’s relatable for all of us who have weekly calls to see how they are ✨constructively ✨quick to call each other our on their BS 😂

We would love to know who you have in your life that calls you out on your bull 💩😂 and what that bull 💩 is! Slide in our DMs and let us know!

👀🚨BRACE YOURSELF FOR SOME HOT TAKES 🚨👀

Although this topic might be a little taboo, the guys have done a very interesting analysis this week on how their relationships with their partners including their individual fulfilment on health, wealth, love, and happiness can be improved by their partners taking on the role of a stay at home wife and mom.

Shockingly, a very* single* Amer has masterminded the responsibilities of the ideal stay at home wife and mom to Take Care of Your Mindset, Increase Your Knowledge, and Participate in Accountability Groups which align with the goals of your household.

On the wonderful off chance that the boys don’t get cancelled for this one 🥰 slide in our DMs and let us know your thoughts on this topic!

This week… after 150 episodes… we have John and Amer… without Austin… have a very interesting discussion on how your obstacles your new path to take in life.

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

• the structure for Ryan Holiday's new book The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph

“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail”: Amer discusses where the mindset has been for a lot of the trades people who join TradeArc, where they are not being reactive to obstacles rather than proactive to resolve them/mitigate them.

It’s finally episode 150 and you guys are still sticking it through with us! 🥲 Couldn’t be more grateful for such an amazing fanbase 🥰

In this weeks episode, we do a deep dive into what the post pandemic yearning for mortgages and home improvement has looked like. If you consider what the average person pays to have a home (with a mortgage specifically), some people may end up paying more than 50% of their income for shelter… And this is only been a recent development.

This is super fascinating because so many industries in our current market are propped up on this pattern on the housing market continuing. If you think about how large the home services business is – i.e. $34 billion is how much money the Canadian government loses in cash jobs according to Amer and his mysterious source, there is an ***enormous*** amount of money in home services.
