ROBINSON C. SMITH operates Smith Consulting Group Ltd, out of Victoria, B.C, on Vancouver Island. He has an extensive history in the investment space, both international and retail. Robinson has a double major in Chinese Studies and Economics from the University of Victoria and an MBA in International Business from Simon Fraser University. Robinson spent a total of just over seven years studying and working in China in foreign trade and investment banking including serving as Vice President for The Balloch Group, a boutique international investment bank based in Beijing founded by the former Canadian Ambassador to China. He has dined and mingled with the likes of Henry Kissinger, Prime Minister Jean Chretien, and the Premier of China, yet somehow still manages to maintain a staggering air of superiority. Robinson joined his father, Fraser, at Smith Consulting Group Ltd. back in early 2006 when he returned to Canada from Asia. Over an advisory career spanning 12 years, Robinson guided over 500 families on the implementation of The Smith Manoeuvre mortgage conversion strategy and built a significant book of business. In the middle of 2018, Robinson sold his advisory practice to write his book, Master Your Mortgage for Financial Freedom (which hit #1 in 22 categories on Amazon on launch day), develop the new and improved Smithman Calculator, and develop and deliver The Smith Manoeuvre Homeowner Course for Canadians who wanted to expand their understanding of the strategy. Robinson has also established The Smith Manoeuvre Certified Professional Accreditation Program whereby financial professionals from across Canada earn accreditation as Smith Manoeuvre Certified Professionals in order to best serve Canadian homeowners. Robinson now dedicates his time writing, speaking and training homeowners, educators and financial professionals in The Smith Manoeuvre strategy in order to continue on with his father’s original mission to give every Canadian homeowner the opportunity to say, “Yes” to the question, “Do you want to make your mortgage tax-deductible?” He lives in Victoria, BC, with his wife, Heidi, and their dog, Harley.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, where I spent most of my life. I was raised in a Jewish household and attended private Jewish school until middle school. During my first semester at High School, because of behavior issues related to thievery, I was sent away to a wilderness survival program - where I spent 10 weeks surviving on my own in the dessert wilderness of Utah. Afterwards, I spent the next two years of my life at the country's most eminent therapeutic boarding school. At this school, I delved deeper into my emotional issues than most people ever even look at in the entirety of their lives. However, I still held on to the deep anger and resentment towards my parents. After graduating High School, I spent a year traveling abroad in the Middle East, where I became a volunteer EMT and spent the year saving lives. It was not until after I returned to the US that I decided to enlist in the Navy as a nuclear engineer. After nearly two years of training in this position in South Carolina, I learned that the military had deceived me in my enlistment contract, and I reacted the way a child would - and I acted out in the way I knew best - thievery. I shoplifted from a store on the Naval base - repeatedly - until I was caught. My actions were deliberate, I took responsibility for my actions, and spent almost a year in the brig - or Navy prison. After returning to L.A. I knew I needed to rehabilitate myself. I spent a year at a Jewish residential treatment center, where I grew in more ways than I could imagine. My personal mentor was a man who stabbed and killed another man in a drug deal gone wrong. He spent nearly 40 years in prison, and he showed me that anyone, with even the worst of pasts, can redefine their future. From here I went on to study at the University of California at Santa Cruz, where I graduated with two bachelors degrees. During my two years at UCSC, I additionally committed myself to volunteer as a court appointed special advocate for foster youth brought into the court system. After, I applied and was accepted to law school. However, after one year of hard work I was accused by the school of cheating - with my own notes that I myself had written during tests! The school claimed my notes were "too perfect," although there was no evidence that I cheated. All of my notes throughout my time at law school were consistent, and resulted in my suing the law school itself for false accusations, libel, and slander. This entire experience shook me, as in the past I was accustomed to truly being guilty, and here I was - innocent, but without the ability to defend myself. It was after this time that I experienced a true horror, the likes of which I cannot compare to anything else I had experienced prior. My girlfriend of eight years, suddenly and traumatically passed away. The grief was immeasurable, but I moved forward. I trained and became certified as a Tony Robbins life coach - a career I currently practice.
