To celebrate Toronto FIFA Kickoff this weekend, we joined Glory Sports in Toronto for a live recording of DeRo & the Diehard featuring Dwayne De Rosario, Ben Botelho, Craig Forrest, and Armando Sá.

The conversation explored soccer culture in Canada, what FIFA means for Toronto’s soccer communities and fans, the future of sport in Canada, and the outlook for Canada on the road to the World Cup.

It was a great night of conversation, connection, and celebrating the momentum behind Canadian soccer.

Big thanks to Lance Chung and the Glory Sports team for a fantastic evening!

April gave us a little bit of everything.

Milestones. Podcast wins. Hall of Fame news. And the kind of client feedback that reminds us why the right voice in the room can change the entire day.

A few moments we’re still thinking about:

⚡️Kaleb Dahlgren and Terry Ryan taking part in the largest ice hockey charity event in North America.
⚡️Jennifer Botterill, José Bautista, and Bret Hart joining a sports charity dinner event in Halifax.
⚡️Dan Chuparkoff and Eric Termuende sharing practical leadership and future-of-work insights with grocery and retail leaders.
⚡️Madison Tevlin’s 21 Questions winning the People’s Voice Webby Award for Podcasts in Belonging & Inclusion.
⚡️Andi Petrillo being announced as an Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame inductee this fall.

And a few words from audiences that stayed with us:
“I cried four times and laughed, like, 50 times.”
“Not one person on their phone. Full standing ovation.”
“You’re one of us. You get it.”

That’s our month in review: a whole lot of impact, connection, and moments worth remembering.
