This one's raw. Tender. And so incredibly real. My client came into this conversation thinking she needed clarity. She was looking for the right answers—about her role, her goals, her business. But what came out was something much more vulnerable: the pressure to perform, the fear of letting people down, and the quiet ache of not being fully seen. This episode is a front-row seat to what happens when a powerful woman stops performing and starts telling the truth. Here's what we explore: The invisible cost of always being ‘the capable one' What it really feels like to outgrow your own success How to let your soul lead—especially when your head says, “Just keep going” This is the unfiltered, Beyond the CEO moment so many women never get to speak out loud—but you'll hear it here.

God desires maturity in us and is calling us to a higher place. Leadership comes with standards, and a mark of maturity is accepting and working within them.
Market volatility isn't new, but over the past year it has intensified due to tariff tensions, unpredictable interest rates, and persistent inflation, leaving investors to navigate contradictory and confusing economic signals. This raises a critical question for investors: how can you make wise decisions when news cycles outpace policy changes and traditional indicators seem unreliable?In this episode of Smart Advice, host Carissa Lucreziano welcomes back David Wong, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Total Investment Solutions at CIBC Global Asset Management. With decades of experience guiding investors through economic storms, David brings clarity to a chaotic moment. He breaks down what's really happening with Canadian and global markets, discusses the potential for recession amid tariff uncertainties, and highlights the evolving roles of fixed income, gold, and alternatives in a diversified portfolio. Additionally, David also explores the impact of artificial intelligence as a future growth driver and its potential implications for investment strategies. He emphasizes the importance of staying invested during turbulent times and offers insights into low-volatility equity strategies as a practical approach to managing risk.This episode provides a strategic perspective on investing, offering practical insights on managing risk and refining your investment strategy amidst the noise of the headlines.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Understand how global tariff tensions and inflation are shaping Canadian markets—and what that means for your investment strategy.Discover effective strategies for building a resilient, diversified portfolio that can weather short-term volatility without sacrificing long-term growth.Explore the influence of artificial intelligence and alternative investments on market trends and your investment approach.ResourcesCIBC's "Smart Advice" Podcast and WebsiteVisit CAM Investment insights for timely expert insights and research Visit CIBC for more Smart AdviceChicago Mercantile Exchange FedWatch ToolC.D. Howe Institute's Business Cycle CouncilMcKinsey Study on AI AdoptionGoldman Sachs Forecast on AI ImpactEpisode Highlights[00:25] Navigating 2025 with a resilient investment strategyMarket turbulence in 2025 means Canadians need to adapt their investment strategy.David Wong describes the current market in one word: “challenged”.[02:41] David: “More than anything, the uncertainty surrounding where tariffs will ultimately settle is creating challenges on planning for investments from businesses and big ticket purchases from consumers.”He outlines the major factors distorting traditional economic indicators—particularly tariffs—and explains how these distortions complicate policy decisions.As uncertainty continues to cloud the outlook, the importance of adaptable, long-term strategies becomes even more apparent.[04:23] Impact of tariffs and interest rates on investmentsTwo possible economic scenarios are in the Bank of Canada's latest monetary policy report—one involving tariff resolution, and the other pointing toward global trade conflict.Interest rate expectations in the U.S. have shifted; markets are now pushing back rate cut forecasts due to persistent inflation.In Canada, rising unemployment and stubborn core inflation have increased the risk of recession, adding more weight to central bank decisions.Rather than react to every policy shift, a better investment strategy may be to build diversified portfolios that reflect multiple possible outcomes.[09:07] Volatility and market reactionsMarket movements in April reflect just how reactive investors have become to tariff-related headlines, swinging sharply with each new development.David emphasizes that inflation remains a key concern—one that hasn't been resolved post-COVID and could be exacerbated by global trade tensions.In times like these, staying invested and resisting panic is more valuable than ever, especially for those with a long investment horizon.Low-volatility equity strategies are suggested as a practical way to stay the course while addressing investor concerns around risk.[13:08] Investment allocation and diversificationCarissa raises the question of whether investors should stay Canada-focused or explore U.S. and international markets for growth.David explains that while U.S. exposure has historically delivered strong returns, overconcentration can pose risks—especially in uncertain times.Artificial intelligence is flagged as a future growth driver with long-term potential. However, it likely will not make a significant impact for several years.Diversification across regions, sectors, and asset types—including gold and fixed income—is presented as a foundational strategy for resilience.[20:33] Risk management and investment approachRisk isn't just about volatility, it's about understanding what drives market changes and how to prepare for them.[21:06] David: “Reward and risk are related concepts, and you simply can't get reward without taking some level of risk.”David introduces CIBC's Managed Solutions framework, built on three pillars: purpose, structure, and fulfillment.By focusing on fundamental diversification, his team aims to deliver consistent value even in unpredictable market conditions.Balancing short-term noise with long-term discipline remains key, especially as markets send mixed signals on a daily basis.[26:07] Final thoughts and investment frameworkDavid urges listeners to develop a clear investment framework aligned with their financial goals.He reinforces that earnings growth and bond yields—not daily headlines—are the real engines of long-term returns.[26:49] David: “The fear of missing out can be just as dangerous as overreacting to negative news. It's the Scylla and Charybdis of investing.”It's critical to contextualize media-driven fear and avoid impulsive decisions; overcorrecting due to media can severely damage a portfolio.Canadians can confidently navigate market uncertainty, but have to remain disciplined while diversifying their portfolios and utilizing expert insight.About David David is responsible for CIBC Global Asset Management's managed solutions investment process and portfolio management. His Total Investment Solutions team helps to determine the asset allocations and the construction of portfolios, researches, evaluates, and helps select the managers, and monitors the investments of the firm's roughly $80 billion managed solutions programs.

I love a musical theatre reference, and no I am not actually on the verge, I am just having one of those days. And instead of dismissing it and pretending that everything about entrepreneurship is roses and sunshine, I wanted to share with me the tools and strategies that I have for those days (like today!) when I am dis-regulated, when I do need to slow down and take care of myself and when I do know that I have been burning the candle at both ends. So enjoy this episode as i slip slowly into madness and then start to climb out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this Mike on the Mic episode, I dig into one of the most critical challenges leadership teams face today: adaptability. When the world changes—whether through global events, industry disruption, or internal shifts—how do you know when your plan no longer serves you? And what do you do about it?I explore how to recognize the key signals that it's time to adapt, and share the structured rhythm I've seen work with my clients to build adaptability into their DNA—without losing focus or blowing with the wind. I walk through how your leadership team can build a culture that challenges assumptions, stays aligned, and doesn't just react, but evolves purposefully.Whether you're a CEO or part of a leadership team, this episode offers actionable strategies for staying relevant, aligned, and ahead of the curve.

But often we are distracted by those things because we are avoiding doing fundamental work in our business we know is vital to our success. Now I'm not saying we aren't all working hard as business owners, in fact some of the time we are very busy being busy, but this busy-ness often distracts us from doing the things in our business we know are essential for growth.
