Take back your financial power using the Infinite Banking Concept

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Richard Canfield have a conversation about how he came to find himself in the world of financial independence, what it means to take back the banking function in your own life, and how that can help you protect and grow your net worth.
Richard has been passionate about wealth-building from an early age. The son of entrepreneurs, he worked afternoons and evenings for the family business while maintaining honor grades in high school. In 1999, he entered the electrical trade and quickly established his reputation as the young man who could be counted on to take full responsibility for any project and deliver outstanding results every time. By the age of 21, Canfield had also received a practical education in real estate investing, having handled the financing and cash flow of multiple properties in his family’s portfolio in addition to his own ventures. All while working full time and completing his Electrical Apprenticeship. At age 26 he was earning a healthy six figures contracting for an oil sands giant in Ft. McMurry, Alberta.
Richard dove headfirst into mastering the Infinite Banking Concept®, optimizing it for Canadians, and connecting with people who were tired of not having control over their financial destiny. Today, Richard’s passion for teaching and helping others join him at his level of success is his primary mission in business and in life. Richard is an Authorized IBC Practitioner and recognized by the Nelson Nash Institute®, where he rapidly distinguished himself as one of R. Nelson Nash’s star students. For Richard, helping families take more control back over their financial life is one of the most gratifying feelings. He believes that if we help raise the financial independence of more and more people we also increase the power and potential to give to our communities. This ripple effect stretches much wider than just the folks he is able to help.
Mr. Canfield enjoys connecting with people that are excited about taking control back of their financial life and are ready to get engaged regularly in the process. They want to attend client events and webinars, become active members of the Private Banker community and share their excitement and wins by embracing this concept with friends and family.
Canfield & Grey take a deep dive into why it’s so important to take back your power and control when it comes to your financial decisions, how important it is to adjust the way you think about money, and how you can become a practitioner of the Infinite Banking Concept.

Why are more and more Albertans talking about separatism?

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Josh Andrus have a conversation about his involvement in politics leading up to the inception of Project Confederation, the role western separatism has played in Canadian politics and policies, and why Albertans have resoundingly spoken up about sovereignty and independence.
Josh Andrus is the Executive Director of Project Confederation at the Alberta Institute, an independent, libertarian-minded public policy think tank that aims to advance personal freedom and choice in Alberta.
Mr. Andrus is a fourth-generation Albertan from Drumheller and holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Lethbridge, majoring in Economics and minoring in Political Science. Prior to joining the Alberta Institute, Josh worked as the Executive Director for a grassroots advocacy organization and volunteered in several political and policy roles.
Josh is a Guest Opinion Columnist at the Calgary Sun as well as a Columnist at the Western Standard. He has written on subjects like equalization, government overreach, and other challenging political topics that most writers have chosen to ignore.
Some would consider Josh Andrus an outgoing, intelligent & career oriented individual working within a complex political environment that utilizes strong leadership, business knowledge and teamwork skills. Josh has dedicated countless hours to political progress and a focus on inward party evaluation.
Project Confederation's mission is to update the current system of confederation to better represent Western Canadians in government decisions and policies. They believe a constitutional convention may be the only way to keep the country together.
Andrus & Grey don’t hold any punches when discussing why cultural alienation has had such a massive impact on the actions of the Canadian Federal Government, how recent events and government overreach have fueled the pushback against mandates, and how important it is for the public to get more involved in politics to create positive change in our society.

CN Rail faces it’s second lawsuit in the battle against mandate overreach

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Christian Jones have a conversation about how his experience in real estate led him to work for CN Rail, what happened when the mandates were imposed, and how he is working to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
Corporately based in Alberta, Christian Jones has been the provincial Land Department Head for the World’s top real estate brokerages.

The multi-billion-dollar real estate portfolio included over 100,000 acres and millions of square feet of office and industrial space.
Mr. Jones exercises his expertise by showing investors hidden property potential by evaluating zoning, density, development potential, and market forecasts so they make strategic transactions. With a decade of assisting corporations, developers, investors, and owners, Christian continues his strong momentum today!
During the conversation Jones & Grey touch on the fundamental rights that each of us had and how they were violated by employers operating as an extension of an overreaching government, how Christian has been able to organize a group of people to bring forward a lawsuit against the corporate giant CN Rail, and what they hope to accomplish with the actions they are taking.

How can fasting heal your body and prevent chronic illnesses?

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Steve Hendricks have a conversation about how Steve became interested in the idea of fasting and the science of health, how the science of fasting has evolved dramatically over the last decade, and what the big difference between intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting are.
Steve is a freelance writer living in Boulder, Colorado, and the author of The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting, which has been published by Abrams Press on September 6, 2022.
In his book "The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting" Steve writes about the history and science of fasting and his own experiences with the practice.
Mr. Hendricks was born in Arkansas, raised in Texas, and educated at Yale. After college, he spent several years in Seattle and Montana, where he divided his time between writing about politics and doing politics. Steve twice ran for local office in Helena, Montana.
Steve's book on fasting, The Oldest Cure in the World, had its genesis in an article he wrote for Harper’s in 2012. That article took a light stroll through the history and science of fasting and recounted a fast of twenty days that Steve undertook partly out of curiosity but mostly to control his expanding waistline.
The Oldest Cure in the World is about the history and science of fasting as well as the experiences Steve has endured with the practice. This new book was born from a long gestation that has yielded a more complete and livelier chronicle of fasting than has ever been told.
Steve writes that virtually everyone who wants better health can benefit from the science of fasting. The best research on the topic suggests that unless you have an extremely rare disorder that makes it dangerous to go several hours without food, a fast will induce metabolic repairs that will make you healthier and help you live longer.
Hendricks & Grey take a deep dive into the science behind fasting for adults and how it’s been proven that in some cases it can help with chronic illness, how some studies have shown fasting can even reverse some of the damage we do in eating poorly, and what you can do to try fasting for yourself!

Former NHL Player Brantt Myhres on the addiction problem in pro sports

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Brantt Myhres have a conversation about some of Brantt’s earliest memories of his experience with the game of Hockey, how the culture of the good ol’ hockey game has evolved over the last couple decades, and how he came to find himself tangled up in a web of addiction.
In 1990, Brantt sported a Western Hockey League jersey for his first time, a league he played in for the next four seasons. Brantt eventually went on to lace up for the Portland WinterHawks for a season and a half, before being traded to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. After two seasons in his home province with Lethbridge he ended his WHL career with the Spokane Chiefs. Myhres was selected 97th overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
During his NHL career Myhres went on to play for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Philadelphia Flyers, San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, Washington Capitals, and Boston Bruins. He was suspended four times by the NHL for failing drug tests and was eventually banned from the league for life. After becoming clean and sober and studying substance abuse behavioral health at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Myhres was hired by the Los Angeles Kings in September 2015 as the team's player assistance director.
The Edmonton-born Myhres went on to play 154 games at the NHL level, accumulating a whopping 687 penalty minutes in the process. Brantt wasn't around for the birth of his daughter. Despite having played for seven different NHL teams, and making millions he had partied his way out of the league. By the time his daughter was born, he was penniless, sleeping on a friend's couch.
In a memoir titled "Pain Killer" which was released in 2021 Brantt shares the unpolished, unpretentious, and unflinching story. Myhres tells it like it is, acknowledging every mistake, and painting a portrait of an angry, violent, dangerous man caught in the vice of something he couldn't control, and didn't understand.
Myhres & Grey talk about the connection between tragedy, trauma, and their ties to addiction, how self destruction becomes the inevitable path because of addiction, and how he pulled himself out of the darkness to find himself back in the world of hockey serving others with his knowledge and experience.

Was the pandemic a big marketing campaign? Ken McCarthy Explains.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ken McCarthy have a conversation about his experience in the world of business and marketing, how he came to document the ongoing discrepancies in reporting on the pandemic, and how his marketing experience led him to conclude that there was something nefarious about the way the governments of the world responded.
McCarthy is best known for his pioneering work in the movement to commercialize the Internet in the first part of the 1990s. In the summer of 1994, McCarthy commissioned Hank Duderstadt to write a cover story for the Internet Gazette on the potential of streaming video on the Internet. In 1995, McCarthy organized and sponsored a conference on the topic of using the web as a local publishing medium to assist community building. McCarthy has also worked with challenged communities — Hudson, New York and New Orleans, Louisiana — to develop strategies to use the web to organize citizens and engage in public education and outreach.
In addition to his work in the Internet industry, McCarthy has been involved in the music industry, as a concert producer and promoter; in the film industry, as co-founder of one of New York City's first digital film audio post production studios (When We Were Kings, Like Water for Chocolate); and on Wall Street, as a technical communications consultant to Bankers Trust and First Boston. Currently, Ken is a special adviser to levees.org and Friends of Hudson, a board member and adviser to Meals for Health and the proprietor of JazzontheTube, the second most visited jazz web site on the Internet.
"Unravelling the CoVid Con" is a collection of blog posts by Ken McCarthy edited by Paul Morrison, that shows - with time-stamped clarity - the multi-layered frauds that were used to sell the CoVid panic.
McCarthy & Grey take a deep dive into the events that unfolded during the early stages of the pandemic, how he spent his time investigating the claims that were being mad in the mainstream media, and how all of it added up to an alarming outcome.

In this episode Constitutional Lawyer Leighton Grey and Ryan Orydzuk have a conversation about how he came to be involved with the Posties For Freedom organization, the importance of the three basic rules of work refusal and their role in supporting a healthy workplace in Canada, and the nature of the legality of the mandates imposed by the Canadian Government.

Over the past decade or so Ryan has been involved in the federal safety system which has given him first hand experience in understanding how federal organizations and crown corporations take new safety protocols from "conceptual planning" to "final implementation".
Mr. Orydzuk boasts a wealth of knowledge when it comes to legislated safety acts and regulations that govern our federal employers, their workplace safety committees, and the front-line employees in relation to occupational health and safety. His experience with his employer and a loss of work has led him to join the organization “Posties for Freedom”. Posties for Freedom is a community of loving and dedicated employees coming together to support one another. They are working to bring justice to those who have been disaffected by Government Mandates.
Ryan & Leighton have an in depth conversation about the role the employer has played in the mandate roll out, how that’s affected the employees and what the outcome has been, and what we can do to reconcile the damage that has been inflicted on our society.
