    Building A Great Business

    Building a great business requires a clear vision, a solid strategy and a lot of hard work. The Fairway team started in London, ON many years ago and has grown rapidly ever since. One of their many reasons for success is continuous learning and always looking for new and better ways to serve their clients and run their business. It’s all part of “Partnering with Great People” and this episode features a fellow business owner helping Fairway to reach new heights. Andrew Turner, a coach from EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), joins Paul Manders and Mike Ankers to share his experience as a coach, mentor and “Implementor” of EOS, a system for operating business at a high level. Andrew uses the same principles for his own business and shares his journey with us, from developing new clients to how he helps teams like Fairway enjoy greater success on their terms.

    When a House Becomes a Home

    Giving back to the community is ingrained in the DNA of the Fairway Wealth Management team, and this is a very special episode. Fairway is a proud supporter of Ronald McDonald House in London, Ontario — a welcoming and secure “home-away-from-home” for families with seriously ill children receiving medical care at London and Windsor hospitals. But it’s more than just a place to stay. It’s a sanctuary of compassion, comfort, and connection, where families are supported emotionally and physically, allowing them to focus on what matters most: the health and well-being of their child. Mike Ankers is joined by Reg Jackson from Fairway Wealth Management at National Bank Financial, as well as Rachel Maccaulay, VP, Philanthropy & Community Relations from Ronald McDonald House. Together they discuss the life-changing work the House does, philanthropy and how proper financial planning can create a win-win for clients and charity alike. You won’t want to miss this!
