#767 - Modular, Money & Missed Opportunities: Rob Cinapri of CFO Collective Finance, & Construction

In this eye-opening episode of TCL Podcast, we welcome back Rob Cinapri of CFO Collective to unpack the financial realities shaping the construction industry—and why so many Canadian builders are being left behind. We get into everything from financial clarity and business growth to the uncomfortable truths about modular housing, government agendas, and the disconnect between immigration and skilled trades. Topics include:
🔹 The rise of modular construction—but here’s the catch: it’s being manufactured in China, then shipped to Canada
🔹 Who really benefits? Not local tradespeople, but government insiders and Brookfield-type friends of the PM
🔹 Why the massive immigration wave won’t solve the trades shortage—because construction is a hard life and most newcomers aren’t entering the trades
🔹 How small- to mid-sized builders can fight back with better financial systems, smarter cash flow, and strategy over survival
🔹 What it means to have a CFO who understands the bigger picture, not just the bottom line This is a no-holds-barred conversation about the future of building in Canada—and how the people who’ve built the backbone of this country are being pushed to the sidelines. 🎧 Tune in to learn how to stay financially strong and politically awake. 📧 Email: [e-mail]
