What you’ll learn on this Podcast:
Bio
Ronald is the founder and president of Property Pathways and delivers on his promise to pioneer an enriched design and construction experience for real estate investors.
He started investing in real estate in 2016 and was surprisingly challenged to find a design or contractor that could explain the legal process of a secondary suite renovation. He set out to become the subject matter expert and the valuable resource to real estate investors throughout Ontario.
By leveraging his education and experience gained in the commercial construction sector, he created a hybrid service specific to real estate investors who focus on the creation of long term wealth by buying and holding or BRRR real estate.
He works with real estate investors and their real estate agents to identify Suite-Able properties and has the battle scars and relationship in municipalities throughout Ontario to prove it. Navigating the bylaw and building code requirements for a legal secondary suite bridges the gap and creates a Pathway between the problems associating with converting property and the profit that awaits the investors.
Our service is predicated on the belief that the building permitting process for real estate investors should be uniquely tailored and we achieve this through our four-phase design process that produces the detailed and easy to interpret permit drawings for a worry free construction process.

This was an important podcast to me. My hat goes off to Debbie Gilbert for taking on this type of investing but more importantly truly trying to help seniors in her community one property at a time.
Debbie is the owner of Rosehill Heights, shared housing for senior women. One of the things that really hit me was that there are so many seniors living alone. This can create social isolation for them, which leads to physical and mental health issues. In fact, some studies have shown that social isolation can have a more negative effect on longevity than smoking 15 cigarettes a day!
What Debbie is doing is incredibly important to her community and I truly respect the work she’s doing to help.
Have a listen, she's looking for investors to help her important cause.

In 2015 she was downsized and outsources out of her J-O-B, and decided to get some formal education in real estate investing. She wasted no time in starting to build wealth through real estate. She remains a full-time investor who self-manages the properties in her portfolio which consists of several duplexes and student rentals in Barrie and Orillia. Debbie has done some coaching, some speaking, some writing and is a familiar face at many of the real estate investment groups in this area.

Les Brown
On today’s show I had the chance to talk with one of my mentors that has had a huge impact on my life, Les Brown. From listening to him in my car, at the gym and when I’m relaxing, to now be in a position to be able to interview him was a huge accomplishment for me up to this point in my life.
There are so many great take-aways from this show, Les Brown has truly mastered the craft of communication and shares his incredible story and how to design your life.
“Do what is easy your life will be hard. Do what is hard your life will be easy” – Les Brown.
Bio
Motivational speaker Les Brown was born Leslie Calvin Brown on February 17, 1945, in Miami, Florida. After giving birth to Brown and his twin brother, Wes, on the floor of an abandoned building, Brown’s biological mother gave her sons up for adoption when they were six weeks old to Mrs. Mamie Brown. When he was in fifth grade, Brown was forced back a grade by the school’s principal after being disruptive in class. Brown’s demotion subsequently led him to being placed in special education classes and labeled as mentally retarded. As an adolescent, Brown attended Booker T. Washington High School where he was influenced by a speech and drama instructor who encouraged him to pursue a career in radio broadcasting.
After graduating from high school and briefly working for the Department of Sanitation, Brown worked as an errand boy for a Miami Beach radio station. At the station, Brown observed the disc jockeys with hopes of one day becoming an on-air personality. His break came when one of the disc jockeys became inebriated. Brown stood in for him and then was hired as a disc jockey. In the late 1960s, Brown moved to Columbus, Ohio, to work for WVKO Radio, where he became active in the community. Brown’s political activism in Columbus won him a seat with the 29th House District of the Ohio State Legislature. In his first year, Brown passed more legislature than any other freshman representative in Ohio State legislative history. In his third term, Brown served as chair of the Human Resources Committee.
In 1981, Brown left the Ohio State House of Representatives to care for his ailing mother back in Florida. While in Miami, he continued to focus on social issues by developing a youth center training program. In 1986, Brown entered the public speaking arena on a full-time basis and formed Les Brown Enterprises, Inc. In 1989, Brown received the National Speakers Association’s highest award, the Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE). In 1990, Brown recorded the Emmy Award-winning series of speeches entitled You Deserve, which became the lead fundraising program of its kind for pledges to PBS stations nationwide. In 1991, Toastmasters International selected Brown as one of the world’s best speakers and awarded him the Golden Gavel Award.
Brown ranks amongst the nation’s leading authorities in understanding and stimulating human potential; he is a featured guest on many radio broadcasting stations and is often hired by professional corporations to teach and inspire new levels of achievement.

Key Takeaways:
“I would say that my unfair advantage would be I love to jumping in and taking action. And I would say that I’m also very comfortable with making mistakes. And I think people that make mistakes, they think that it’s a problem or they’re there. They’re done in the right path, and then they give up. But the key is when you make those mistakes as obviously to learn from it, and then they continue to keep moving forward.” – Gary Hibbert
“I think the best thing is the mindset. It doesn’t have anything to do with money. It has to do with mindset. There are so many different ways to do it, but it’s about writing down your goals, and once you do it, you move forward with that. So, mindset is such a huge thing, and learning from other people that have gone through that journey.” – Gary Hibbert
