What if your retirement plan depends on selling the very assets you spent decades building?

For many business owners and high-net-worth Canadians, “financial freedom” often means reaching a number on paper—but what happens when that number has to be slowly drawn down to fund your lifestyle? This episode challenges the traditional retirement mindset of accumulating a pile of assets, then hoping it lasts long enough. Instead, Jon Orr and Kyle Pearce explore how to think about income, diversification, and portfolio structure in a way that can support more confidence, flexibility, and peace of mind in your financial freedom years.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of why relying only on asset sales can feel emotionally risky when funding retirement.
  • A fresh way to think about diversifying not just by asset class, but by strategy and structure for retirement.
  • Insight into how income-focused investing can help create cash flow without constantly shrinking your principal when designing retirement.
