Freedom Fighter Winner 2022
“In March 2020 we enrolled with TYT. Since starting, we have closed 10 deals and 38 units within the first year, and none of the money invested was our own.”
Freedom Fighter Winner 2022
“Thanks to the support from Trust Your Talent’s community of students and the guidance of my mentor, I was able to generate leads and close 8 investment deals within 12 months of starting my real estate investment journey.”
My life has changed so much for the better since I joined TYT. Their goal is for the students to be financial literate, which is very important in this day and age, and they teach how to achieve your financial goals using real estate.
I will happily rave about the quality and integrity of Trust Your Talent's real estate investing education and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for the BEST option out there to set yourself up for success in the real estate investing world.
I don't flex my degrees a lot. I have a PhD in applied math from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Master in pure math from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor in physics with honors from New York University. TYT is better than any other educational institutions I have been to!

Andrew Cowe
Andrew Cowe
A Serial Entrepreneur born and raised by a loving family in the great City of Toronto, Andrew has always had a strong passion for business. As a young child, he started several small ventures including setting up stands to sell ‘Kool-Aid beverages, and a ‘business’ to repair Yo-yo’s for other kids in his neighbourhood. In his teenage years he continued with his entrepreneurial spirit by forming a mobile audio production studio to create song recordings for local bands, a live events company focused on showcasing musical acts, all while continuing high school and holding a part-time job from the age of 14. Andrew went on to pursue post-secondary education by attending University and obtaining a degree before entering the workforce, where he excelled as a Sales Consultant Team Lead & Account Manager. Even while achieving success through his career in B2B sales, he continued to create new business models, highlighted by a sports gear personalization company that ran for several years before being sold at the beginning of the pandemic.
Despite the successes of his previous ventures, Andrew had always been intrigued by real estate and the fact that so many successful people had used it as a vehicle to create long term wealth, allowing them to live life on their own terms. In 2019, he took action and attended his first real estate investing seminar to learn how he-to could create a legacy of time freedom for him and his family – from that moment, and for those reasons, he was hooked!
His passion for real estate and the life it could create was unwavering as he continued to get educated. He understood that the life formula often promoted by society of; go to school, get a job, work for 50 years, and then retire to finally enjoy life, didn’t quite match the values of time freedom he had. After attending a bootcamp with Trust Your Talent, Andrew committed to his dreams by enrolling into the program where he immediately boosted his financial literacy and went on to execute on deals with fellow TYT students and partners using a combination of different strategies including; Distressed Properties, Creative Financing, Duplex Conversions, Multi-Family Apartment Buildings, Fix and Flips, Private lending, Short Term Rentals, and Joint Venture Partnerships.Living big through his frame and ambition, he is an aspiring philanthropist understanding that the pursuit of wealth is worthless without being able to share it with family, friends, and those who would benefit from a helping hand.
Andrew continues to be a lifelong learner while investing in real estate. He is passionate about working with others to share the various strategies of real estate investing can make an impact in so many positive ways. He believes that we can all live the life we have always wanted by taking action using the right steps as we work towards our goals. His wife, son, and family continue to create his WHY, because, as he likes to reference, “You can have all of the wealth and cash-flowing properties in the world, but without family and friends, it’s just brick and mortar.”

Mike Moreau
Mike is a small town boy at heart who was born and raised in the town of Tilbury, Ont. He attended a full french school up until College, where he studied Business Management at Conestoga College in Kitchener. Unlike all of his friends, he decided to leave town and venture out of his comfort zone. The reason he decided to study Business was because of his upbringing. His parents ran a family owned business which allowed them to provide for his 3 siblings and himself. He always knew he had aspirations of starting his own business, however, didn’t quite know what that was.
In 2018 he sought out some good financial books to read, and like most “Rich Dad Poor Dad” was brought to his attention. The moment he opened the book, he was instantly hooked. This is where Real Estate Investing and Financial Education became a part of his life. He continued to read more and became fascinated by the Real Estate Investing game and what it could provide for not only himself, but others as well. He decided to attend a seminar on a Saturday morning and brought his wife Allison with him. Soon after, they found themselves enrolling for a 3 day course to learn a little more. He admits, it was a very scary time as he just switched jobs, his wife was on maternity leave for their first born and they were planning a wedding. That being said, they made a choice to take control of their lives and invested over $15K (at that point and time) in themselves to continue on this journey of happiness and fulfillment.
Fast forward to today, his wife is able to stay at home and look after their two young boys (Landon and Lennox) while working on their business as well. They have managed to grow their portfolio within the Calgary and Ontario markets through multiple strategies. Their experience lies within legalizing and suiting homes, Lease Options, Private Lending, SDRRSP Lending, Structuring Joint Venture Partnerships, etc.
Mike operates and prides himself with passion, integrity and gratitude. When not working on his business, you can find him spending time with his family and loved ones, quading (ask me about this) and camping in the wilderness or playing hockey!

Neena Popat
Neena Popat
Neena Popat is an ambitious, highly motivated and successful young professional. Growing up in a large household with her parents, sister and extended family she saw first hand the financial requirements on supporting the basic needs for a family as well as having additional funds to be able to participate in activities and take family vacations.
Education has been an integral part of Neena’s upbringing. Watching her father make the decision to go back to school to achieve big career milestones and constantly going through continuing education seminars helped her understand it is never too late to commit to growth personally and professionally.
In 2013, Neena graduated with her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from a renowned university in Boston, Massachusetts. After that, she moved back to her hometown of Mississauga where she successfully operated multiple pharmacies and businesses around the Greater Toronto Area. She was really well-loved by her patients and won several awards in Pharmacy.
In 2019, Neena read a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This book changed her life and she was determined to enroll in financial education to further learn the secrets around wealth. Although she truly loved what she did in health care, she was determined to learn more about building income producing assets and freeing up life’s most valuable currency: time while building a lifelong legacy of wealth to pass along generations.
It took hard work, dedication and persistence; however, despite the 50 + hour working weeks, Neena would spend her nights and weekends taking courses, studying, taking action to apply various strategies, attending networking events and working with her mentor to build her portfolio while meeting her monthly passive income cash flow goals.
At the end of 2021, it was time to jump off the ledge and pursue her real estate investing career and business full time. She learned that life was about designing it on her own terms and having the freedom of choice and the power of control to build her business while attaining time and location freedom.
Now as a coach, Neena is so happy to share her journey with other students and people to shine awareness around the importance of financial education by leveraging real estate investing to achieve those financial and wealth goals to design the life everyone deserves!
