New Episode!
Angela and Trevor are back for a check in episode, and there is so much ground to cover! We start with exciting updates from Trevor’s entrepreneurship journey and book readings, and Angela begins holding her breath for a “Polar Bear and Walrus” sequel. Then it’s time to delve into big themes that came up this season as 20 wonderful neighbours shared their varied, interesting, and truly inspiring stories. We learned about people overcoming self-doubt and pursuing their dreams, lessons of remarkable resilience in the face of tragedy and challenging circumstances, and totally refreshing perspectives on gratitude, empathy, forgiveness, and confidence. We even try to apply these lessons as “life happens” during our recording :D. After that brief interruption, we return to appreciate the guests who are actively putting love and support into their communities in their own signature ways. As always, we are beyond grateful to get to hear and share these powerful stories, and look forward to more after our upcoming summer break!

New Episode!
At the age of five, Matthew Jensen had already begun displaying signs of the powerful confidence, dedication, and intuition with which he would obsessively pursue a multitude of dreams and careers. From a performing magician to a recording rap artist, graphic designer, marketing innovator, and social media creator…a common thread is his tendency to inject humor and joy into everything he does. It’s no wonder why we have too much fun in this episode, hearing stories from Matt’s life and delving into watershed moments that forever changed things for him. Along the way, he reflects on making the decision to move on from a dream, the challenge of managing ego, and the moment he realized the real meaning of “all you need is love”. Just like after every other epiphany, Matt just had to spring into action. He’s actively encoded love into the foundation of his company Maxogram Media Inc, and now spreads his (maybe too) concentrated love of coffee to others through lighthearted “Daily Sips of Joy” videos.

Okay, but how much is there really to know about Gratitude? … A LOT! The answer is a lot, and it turns out we were aware of just the tip of the iceberg. Steve has spent decades researching, and teaching on the unseen portion of that gratitude iceberg. It was very enlightening to see how he uses it to improve not only individuals, but corporations as well. Listen Now!

New Episode!
Steve Foran speaks on the importance of gratitude to help us lead happier, more energetic lives and organizations. After completing research on the topic during his MBA, the potential benefits struck Steve as so compelling that he decided to leave electrical engineering behind and make it his literal business to coach leaders on the skill of gratitude. In the 15 years since he’s engineered practical tools and processes that help people show up as the best version of themselves, improving engagement and resilience. We are so grateful for Steve’s openness as we discuss the early days of building his business, challenges of shifting mindset and culture, and a wealth of tips for an effective and healthy gratitude practice.

New Episode!
Robbie Song has a history of pursuing business opportunities that bring him and others joy, but he never expected this would lead him to transition from a career in engineering to become the owner and lead instructor of *his pole dance studio, R.Song Studios*. In this lively chat, Robbie shares why he decided to “run away to join the circus”, stories from intense training all over the world, and the resulting growth of a deep passion and a mission to spread joy. The impact is clear. In just a few years, he’s built a large and growing community that empowers people from all genders and walks of life to develop confidence, strength, mind-body connection, and even friendships through movement. It’s amazing to see what’s possible when we step outside our comfort zone!

New Episode!
Gayathri Shukla & Anshu Stephen are making the world a better place by practicing and teaching empathy. In this special conversation, we get to learn about Empathy Week - a unique Calgary-wide (and online!) event that cannot be missed, how Gayathri and Anshu came to be part of it, and the most challenging and rewarding parts of empathy work.

As a certified trauma-informed coach, Anshu helps individuals better understand their own stories to become whole, empowered, connected, and healthy. Gayathri has guided thousands of leaders in the use of storytelling, empowering individuals to discover their strengths while building empathy across differences. Together they make up half of the powerful quartet behind unLikely Friends, a video storytelling initiative that helps diverse strangers to connect through genuine conversations.

Can you tell that this is way too much goodness to pack into one episode? It definitely is! Let this be a warm introduction to two amazingly inspiring women, with just a teaser of the great work they do, and a promise that we’ll do our best to have them back for more.

New Episode!
Jacqueline Conway has loved to explore her many passions as a dancer/fashion enthusiast/music festival promoter/branding strategist and more, but she‘s also struggled with spreading herself too thin. In this episode, she shares how shifting to a goal-oriented mindset has empowered her to focus on what matters most and truly thrive. At the center of this conversation is the challenge of letting go of activities and ideas that no longer serve us - in Jacq’s case, this meant leaving behind everything from dance and the fashion association she’d founded to some limiting ideas around money and the myth of perfection. Definitely easier said than done, she reflects on how increasing awareness and decision making strategies have helped her to master essentialism for continued growth. Now on the other side, she’s crafting the most impactful expression of her passions yet as a mom, founder of TrendBlazer Studio, and business partner with her husband at Conway Consulting.
