Burning Rock Solutions (BRS)

Discover powerful, innovative, unique business models and financing methods, which will allow you to really take care of yourself and your family for 3-generations by owning your own successful PB4L (personal business for life) and above-average, highly-animated real estate portfolio.

About Bruce

Bruce M Firestone, B Eng (Civil), M Eng-Sci, PhD, Ottawa Senators founder, ROYAL LePAGE Performance Realty broker, real estate investment and business coach

Bruce's an entrepreneur/real estate broker, developer & coach/urban guru/keynote speaker/Sens founder/novelist/blogger/peerless husband/dad.


He's helped more than 2,500 other people create new enterprises and created many of his own:  such as the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, the Palladium (now called Canadian Tire Centre, where the Sens play), Ottawa Business News (now called Ottawa Business Journal), PETA (Presidential Executive Apartments, sort of Airbnb before there was Airbnb), TCCL (Terrace Corporate Centres, a mini office provider, the precursor to co-working spaces), Blue Heron Storage Corporation (a mini storage business). I also built more than 1,200 homes in a number of subdivisions, plus dozens of office buildings and shopping plazas…


Firestone also advises counties, towns and cities as well as economic development agencies on how to develop live-work-play-learn-shop-grow-make-build-affordable-diversified-sustainable-visitable-neo-urbanist communities based on the principal that nothing is sustainable unless it is also economically sustainable.

He has his PhD in urban economics from the Australian National University in Canberra and his Master of Engineering-Science from the University of New South Wales in Sydney as well as his civil engineering degree from McGill University in Montreal.

His mottos are:

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why,” Mark Twain

Finally, a better future for yourself and your family once you have resolved four key questions—1) finding your why, 2) finding a place to stand—a place where you fit in and can succeed, 3) finding a sustainable way to provide for yourself and your family for 3-generations so any financial issues are in the rear view mirror of your life, and 4) finding ways to giveback to your community once you’ve taken care of 1, 2 and 3…

I watched one of Prof Bruce’s energetic and inspiring webinars about how to take care of yourself and your family in a time of Covid-19 and you know what I figured out? He can see and create value and new revenue streams seemingly out of the ether!

I am on track to reach my twin goals of $1,000 per day in passive income and a two-hour workweek before I turn 55 thanks to Burning Rock Solutions’ real estate investment and biz methods. I adopted the right business model and implemented it fearlessly because of it.

I’ve spent about $180,000 during my career on my education involving real estate, property management and renovation work. But Prof Bruce’s program blew me away—it taught me things I’ve never learned anywhere else.

Being an entrepreneur is never easy. Being a young entrepreneur and a single parent isn’t easy. Being a young entrepreneur, a single parent and running two growing companies isn’t easy. In fact, life isn’t easy. What makes life valuable is the ups and downs, the experiences that shape who you are and who you will grow into, and, after that, the lessons you leave behind plus the impact you have on people around you. Having Burning Rock Solutions as a resource has helped shape me into the entrepreneur and adult I’ve become. And I wouldn’t change it for the world… if you want to be the best, surround yourself by the best.

Rob Koroca // Ottawa

I was on your Pivot! webinar this afternoon and it was awesome. Your case studies get the mind thinking but more importantly thinking outside the box.

Jill Koster // BC

In the 21st century there isn’t a person who wouldn’t benefit and get inspired by Bruce Firestone’s teachings. I have been a huge Robert Kiyosaki fan but I must say, I loved Prof Bruce’s ideas even more. His expansive creativity and thinking goes beyond Kiyosaki. Bruce generously shares real case studies with real value. A true teacher. Build your business like your life depended on it, which maybe it does today

Tammy // Ottawa

Roy and I continue to grow our rental portfolio, Bruce. We are now at 16 units, which will soon be 20! The next two are semi-detached. This is keeping us both very busy. Conventional mortgages continue to be our main challenge, but we are happily working for ourselves thanks to our coach!

Annie-on-the-go Jomphe // Designer, business owner and real estate investor

All I am reading, watching, and listening to these days is Burning Rock Solutions.

Eva O'Grady  // Ottawa

I have taken numerous courses, including one’s from the US, that cost me tons of money… but I gained very little knowledge that I could easily apply. Since I started taking Professor Bruce’s course, I’ve learned more in this one course than all of the other courses combined. Professor Bruce’s course is down to earth and filled with everyday stuff that can be applied immediately to grow your business in the real world. I highly recommend anyone to take a course with Bruce even if you don’t invest in real estate or own your own business. It will teach you fabulous life skills!

Rick Rose // Windsor

I consider myself well-rounded having been in management positions for most of my working career. I thought I was pretty good at what I do until I met Prof Bruce. He is so far above my level of business knowledge and understanding that I couldn’t help but be elevated upwards towards his level.

Paul // former Wall Street banker, independent business and real estate portfolio owner

I’ve been fortunate to have experienced and enjoyed numerous, stimulating careers. From Wall Street to being a resort owner—really, it’s like owning my own small town—but I must say, I wish I’d had a coach like you, Prof Bruce, for many of these incarnations and now I do

Let’s recall what then candidate-for-president Barrack Obama first said in Greenwood North Carolina; his call-to-action was simply but eloquently this:

“How one voice can change a room, and, if it can change a room, it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it can change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world,” Barrack Obama
