EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Episode 120: Matt and Taylor are joined by Chase Stevenson. Chase is the Founder of CHASEIT Group from Kelowna, BC, bringing together a high-performing community, world-class coaching, and strategic investment in companies shaping the future of health and wellness. Their focus is simple: build better humans, stronger communities, and have meaningful impact.

Chase has a Master’s in Finance and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of New Hampshire, where he was also the captain of their Division 1 hockey team. With his professional hockey career cut short because of concussions, Chase then worked on Wall Street as an Investment Analyst at Deutsche Bank DWS Group, but this left him unfulfilled, and he decided to return to Kelowna.

He now works as a holistic high-performance coach, partnering with athletes, entrepreneurs, and leaders to optimize energy, focus, resilience, and long-term health through personalized systems. Alongside his coaching, Chase competes professionally in HYROX, runs ultra-marathons, and invests in early-stage wellness and performance companies aligned with his values.

Chase is here to discuss: → The path that brought him back to Kelowna, his holistic health philosophy & coaching, and how you can work with him. → What sets successful people apart from the masses, building community & his vision of an innovative co-working space, and his dream of making the 2032 Canadian Olympic team in HYROX.

Matt & Taylor discuss: → The current state of the condo market in Kelowna, as pre-constructions are coming to completion, their appraisal values are falling $160,000+ below the purchased price, and causing headaches for buyers trying to close.

Deana is here to discuss: → An overview of the short-term rental (STR) situation in Kelowna, when Kelowna could get the provincial exception to add up to 2200 STR units, and how long it will take to get properties up and running. → What would happen if Kelowna added 800 rental units, current issues plaguing the industry including rent prices, vacancy, and bad tenants, and the impacts of lack of tourism & closing of small businesses. → How an investor can make short-term rentals (STR) successful, where the opportunities are, and why she diversified her investments with Deville Coffee Lakeshore and what makes it unique.
