Structure Over Stress is a practical, plain-language podcast for self-employed Canadians who want fewer financial surprises and more control over their business.

Hosted by Lisa Goss of Morning Star Consultive Services and Ahmed Elsayed of Right Solutions Financial, Tax & Accounting, this podcast breaks down what most people are never taught - how business structure, tax planning, and financial systems directly impact stress, cash flow, and long-term security.

Each episode tackles real issues like:

• Self-employed vs incorporated — and when it actually matters
• The “CPP shock” no one budgets for
• What CRA allows, what it disallows, and what it audits first
• Deductions vs capital assets (and why that distinction matters)
• Why messy systems create tax risk — and how to fix them
• How structure, systems, and compliance create financial safety

This is not hype, shortcuts, or “write-offs gone wild.” It’s honest conversations grounded in real practice, Canadian tax rules, and governance-level thinking.

Educational, not advice. Practical, not scary. Built for people who want their business to support their life — not run it.
