These financial, lifestyle, and wealth management tools are an excellent example of how we can—and must—think differently about home and all the other 20th Century aspects of life that will continue to change as the 21st Century rolls on. The reaction of many property owners, financial and real estate professionals, and advisors to the reverse mortgage option proves that the wonders of the future will be wasted on us if we do not learn how to think beyond "the box" of past experience, stereotypes, hear-say, and financial illiteracy.

Once upon a place, there sat a man who faced the same prospect of a tiresome overseas flight as everyone else. So, instead of getting off the flight, with jet lag, and little else, he decided to write this book instead. And share 25 years of his favourite marketing stories and lessons learned. The sum of which has helped him create a storied career himself: one that includes being named Advertising Agency of the Year no less than five times. And having his newest co-creation Cleansheet just named as one of Canada's 50 fastest growing companies by Profit Magazine.
