Built to Build: Why I Co-Founded BRX.
By Mathieu Reay, Co-Founder of BRX Wealth Solutions
Entrepreneurship has never been a hobby for me.
It has always been the direction I've chosen.
From a young age, I was driven by the idea of building something meaningful. That drive led me to create and grow businesses, learn through experience, take calculated risks, and develop a deeper understanding of how wealth can be created, protected, and passed on.
Every success, setback, and lesson became part of the foundation that eventually led me to BRX.
From Entrepreneurship to Wealth Consulting
Today, I'm the founder of Chip Fever, a growing restaurant brand, as well as a licensed Wealth Consultant.
Through years of operating businesses, managing teams, investing, and working alongside financial professionals, I've learned something important about the way people approach their finances.
Most people aren't looking for someone to simply sell them a product.
They're looking for someone they can trust to help them make better financial decisions.
That philosophy is a big part of why we created BRX.
At BRX Wealth Solutions, we believe every person's financial journey is different. There isn't a single strategy that works for everyone.
Someone might be starting their career. Someone else might be growing a business, purchasing a home, protecting their family, preparing for retirement, or thinking about how to build wealth that lasts beyond their own lifetime.
Whatever the situation, I believe the conversation should always begin in the same place:
Understanding the person before recommending the solution.
Making Financial Decisions Simpler
My role is to help simplify decisions.
I work closely with clients to understand where they are today, where they want to be tomorrow, and what strategy can help connect those two points.
Sometimes that means discussing insurance or investments. Other times, the conversation might involve debt management, business planning, real estate opportunities, or simply having an experienced second opinion before making an important financial decision.
The solution may change.
The goal doesn't: helping people make informed decisions with greater confidence.
The Value of Doing the Work
One of the values I hold closest is hard work.
I've always believed there's no substitute for showing up, putting in the effort, and doing the work when no one is watching.
Success isn't built overnight, and it isn't handed to anyone.
It's earned through consistency, discipline, and a willingness to keep moving forward—even when the outcome isn't guaranteed.
I bring that same mindset into every client relationship.
The best strategies don't come from assumptions. They come from putting in the work to understand someone's goals, circumstances, challenges, and opportunities, then building around what actually makes sense for them.
Relationships, Not Transactions
BRX is built on relationships, not transactions.
My goal isn't to be someone you speak to once. It's to become a trusted resource you can rely on as your life, business, priorities, and ambitions evolve.
Because financial planning isn't only about money.
It's about creating opportunities.
It's about protecting what you've built.
And it's about giving yourself greater freedom to pursue the future you want.
Outside of consulting, I'm passionate about entrepreneurship, business development, real estate, investing, and documenting what it actually takes to build companies from the ground up.
I believe growth comes from continually learning, surrounding yourself with great people, and never becoming too comfortable standing still.
Building Beyond Today
The vision for BRX extends beyond traditional financial consulting.
We're building a company designed to help individuals, families, and business owners make confident financial decisions while creating opportunities that can last for generations.
Whether you're protecting your family, growing your investments, preparing for retirement, navigating a major financial decision, or simply trying to better understand your options, I'd be honoured to be part of that journey.
Together, we'll build more.
This isn't the peak of my story.
It's page one.
