For Jason McCoy , sometimes it’s as simple as calling your friends.

In this clip Jason talks about how quickly an incredible group of artists stepped up to be part of “We Are One.”

• Michelle Wright
• Doc Walker
• Carolyn Dawn Johnson
• Tim Hicks
• Clayton Bellamy
• The legendary Harlem Gospel Choir
• And many more

It’s a pretty incredible example of what can happen when the music community comes together around a song with a bigger purpose.

SHE’S COOKING IN MUSKOKA COTTAGES—AND FEEDING NHL PLAYERS WHILE THEY TRAIN.

Julie Levitan, owner of The Muskoka Chef, joins Jamie for a behind-the-scenes look at the private-chef world in cottage country.

Julie and her team bring the experience right to the cottage—they arrive, take over the kitchen, prepare and serve the meal, and handle the cleanup.

You get to stay on the dock.

But there’s another fascinating side to Julie’s business.

She also prepares meals for NHL players training during the off-season, where food isn’t simply about creating a great meal—it’s also about supporting the nutritional demands of an elite athlete.

We talk about that unique experience, cooking in unfamiliar cottage kitchens, dealing with schedules that change because everyone’s still on the lake, building a business in Muskoka and why Julie has embraced cottage-country life herself.

Great food. NHL players. Muskoka. And no dishes afterward.

That’s a pretty good combination.

New episode alert 🚨

What starts with family summers, a boat and a lake can sometimes turn into something pretty incredible.

Three-time Open World Champion and five-time Pro Tour Champion joins us on a brand-new Boats, Beers & Backroads. 🎙️🎿

Growing up on Trout Lake in North Bay, waterskiing was simply part of summer for Jaimee and her family.

Today, she’s one of the best slalom skiers in the world — and she recently added another milestone by breaking the Canadian national record in Calgary. 🇨🇦🏆

We get into what that journey actually looks like:

🌊 Growing up skiing on a northern Ontario lake
🏆 Becoming a 3X World Champion
🇨🇦 Breaking the Canadian record on home soil
💨 Reaching roughly 110 km/h across the wake
🧠 Why the mental game matters as much as physical ability
🎓 Balancing engineering school with elite competition
🎿 Her #1 tip for the average cottage waterskier
🔥 And her perfect summer day: early-morning skiing, pancakes on the dock, mountain biking and a bonfire

One of our favourite parts of this conversation is that even after World Championships, records and years of competition, Jaimee still loves getting behind the boat at home on Trout Lake.
