Is AI a bubble? Colin has a one word answer. Then he takes it back.

This week on The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin and Greg follow the money behind the AI boom, from the hundreds of billions tech giants are pouring into data centers to the power grids racing to keep up. You’ll hear why Colin thinks electricity, not chips, could be the real bottleneck, and what a $200 laptop from Canadian Tire has to do with any of it.

They also look back at the tech wreck, ask whether this time is really different, and lay out the numbers that matter more than any headline.

Because AI is clearly real. As Colin and Greg see it, the harder question is whether all that money will ever pay its way.

Five year GICs are paying over 4% and come with a guarantee. So why not just move your fixed income there and call it a day?

In this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, Colin and Greg tackle a question they've been hearing more often as bond returns have dipped in recent months. They walk through why bond prices move the way they do, what 2022 taught investors, and why Greg says a GIC can be compared to a bond issued by a bank.

They also dig into the risks that never show up on your statement, and Greg's example of what can happen when a great rate comes up for renewal.

Colin's take? The better question isn't which option pays the most today. It's what job this money is supposed to do.

What do a World Series champion and a strong financial plan have in common? According to Colin, neither one happens by accident.

In this solo episode, Colin steps up to the plate with baseball as his guide, exploring why every great roster and every great portfolio starts with the same question: what are you actually trying to build?

He breaks down why the best hitters in the game still fail most of the time, why a perfectly struck ball can still be an out, and what the odds really look like when you try to time the market. The math might surprise you.

Because in Colin’s view, the real championship isn’t beating an index. It’s building the life you want your money to create.
