Job security isn’t what it used to be — that’s why I built my own second income stream with passive dividends. In this episode, I share how I went from stressed growth investor to steady income collector, why dividend investing beats “hope and a prayer” stock picks, and how anyone — even your kids — can build wealth with real assets, steady yield, and peace of mind.  Learn how to get started with DIY accounts, dividend ETFs, and create your own personal pension plan. This is my story — not financial advice.

The Precious Metals Coach

How Passive Dividend Income Became My Other Stream of Financial Security

In this episode of The Precious Metals Coach, David LeBlanc breaks down what the U.S.’s massive new “Big, Beautiful Bill” really means for everyday people — plus Canada’s own eye-popping half-trillion-dollar spending spree. I cover what’s inside these big promises (like billions for infrastructure, domestic manufacturing, and job training), the record-breaking debt piling up behind the scenes, and why taxes and inflation keep squeezing families harder every year. Are you feeling the pinch at the grocery store, the gas pump, or even buying shoes for your kids? You’re not imagining it — the dollars in your wallet buy less every year while debt and interest costs soar.I explain how gold and silver have quietly outperformed the S&P 500 and the TSX over the last few years, and how real people are using physical precious metals to protect what they’ve worked so hard to earn.

The “Big, Beautiful Bill”: Big Spending & How To Protect Your Money

I get super-annoyed after I work, and work hard by investing a lot of energy and passion into my labour for the benefit of clients and others, only to get paid in fiat dollars - like everyone does. The annoyance is when I get paid in fiat dollars that the full value of my labour isn't being stored, especially the longer I wait to use it. Why? Inflation erodes its value and purchasing over time so unless I spend it relatively quickly, the value of the work I did last month or year is being robbed from me - though I did the work and should be able to retain its full value. I feel like I am being robbed especially as we have all been taught to save our hard-earned pennies in the bank (fiat dollars). The trouble is, the longer we keep doing this, the more we lose. This is messed up, so what can we all do to preserve the full value of our labour so we can use it at full value in the future? Let's dig into it... If you're ready to take control of your financial future and build a resilient, freedom-focused wealth strategy, this episode is a must-listen.

From "Why" To "Buy": Buying Your First Ounces of Precious Metals

Did you know that the world of money is undergoing one of the biggest shifts since the end of the gold standard back in the 1970s? While mainstream headlines focus on inflation and interest rates, deeper structural changes are taking place that could reshape how we save, invest, and transact. At the heart of this shift is Basel III, a global banking reform quietly gaining momentum — especially in the United States and Canada. Combined with record gold buying by central banks, rising interest in blockchain networks like XRP, and the possible emergence of new financial systems, the signs point to one thing...If you're ready to take control of your financial future and build a resilient, freedom-focused wealth strategy, this episode is a must-listen.
