'A heart-wrenching to a heartwarming story that proves that regardless of circumstances, you can have a better life if people believe in you and teach you to believe in yourself.' Edward Henry and his siblings wanted and deserved what every child should have. A happy and stable home. Instead, they had a raging alcoholic for a father, and when Edward was seven, his mother brought a new man into their world. He was physically abusive and incapable of holding a job. Edward and his siblings moved 23 times, including at one point finding themselves at the Community Kensington Homeless Shelter. At age eleven, his Mom dropped her children off at their aunt's house, saying she would run errands. They didn't hear from her for six months. Edward and his brothers moved back with his father and inherited all the pain and trauma that comes with living with a parent who is a severe alcoholic. A friend of his father sexually abused Edward. This abuse and his life unleashed a rage in Edward, and he fed it with alcohol leading to three DUI's, several injuries and a severe car crash. Edward met three people who changed his life by seeing him as a human and believing in him. The first was Glen Rankin, who promoted his artistic side and encouraged him to try sales. The second was Gary Leibovitz, who became a father figure and taught him essential life and business skills. The third, is the love of his life, his wife. At age 23, Edward stopped drinking and discovered he had a talent for sales. He put his life together, fell in love, and today is a wonderful husband and father and a successful entrepreneur. His business, Edward Henry and Co (EHCO), is a full-service professional sales training and business development company.

Richard Clune has been playing professional hockey for sixteen years. He skates like the wind and has the body strength to hit like a locomotive. Today Richard Clune, whose nickname is Dickie, is the Captain of the Toronto Marlies, the AHL affiliate team of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sixteen years playing professional hockey is a feat, given the average tenure of an NHL player is 4.5 years, but what makes Richard's story even more remarkable is that Hockey Scouts thought he was too small to play the role of the Agitator, and Mental Illness that manifested itself into substance addiction took over his life. So how did Richard overcome both? His attitude and approach to life. I have known Richard Clune all his life, and I can tell you that he has the heart of a lion, a work ethic that few can match, and the bravery to reach out for help when he needed to. In this raw and moving episode of Chatter that Matters, Richard Clune takes you from his earliest playing days to how he changed his game to make it to the NHL. Richard talks about when his dream was first realized when he was first called up to the NHL and the LA Kings, when all his hard work was being rewarded, his mental state was such that it was the last thing he wanted. Richard chose self-destruction over his skates. Drinking and drugs almost derailed his career and his life. Richard also talks about what it takes to go and remain sober, and in doing so how he fell in love with hockey and life again. Richard has played for the Nashville Predators and the Toronto Maple Leafs and today, for the Marlies, he cherishes his role as a Team Captain and role model to the next generation. And when he does hang up his skates, where will his heart, work ethic and positive attitude take Richard 'Dickie' Clune. You will have to listen to find out.

Imagine walking into a heavily armed Hells Angels compound as an informer, and you are wearing a wire. If discovered, these steps will be your last.

'A coming of age story about how impossibility can become a possibility through human spirit and will.' By the time Curtis Carmichael was 11, ten people he knew died. He grew up in a Block where parents worked several jobs to survive, everyone was profiled, and crime seemed to be the only path to prosperity. Schools were at best a parking lot where students were yelled at by teachers who said they have no value. As Curtis says: 'In real life, you're seven, but where I grew up, in Block years, you're 21.' Curtis Carmichael plans to break the cycle of poverty in marginalized communities by helping kids thrive, not just survive. . Curtis is the founder of Source Code Academy which will be Canada's first culture-focused innovation and entrepreneurship academy for Black, Indigenous and low-income children in communities like his. His intent is to tap into the ingrained entrepreneurship that exists within communities that have to get creative to survive and bridge the educational gap and digital divide. Their intent is: No Child Left Behind. His thinking and passion will inspire you, and I bet that you will vote for this exceptional young man one day. Mark Beckles, Vice President of Social Impact and Innovation at RBC joins the show to talk about Future Launch, and other initiatives RBC is doing to support youth across Canada.

Let your spirits soar through the spirit of Mohamad Fakih, who sees humanity as a race to be cherished, versus defined by tribes, and confined and contested by their ethnicity, religious beliefs, language, income or sexual preference. When I told Mohamad that I was airing the radio show on Christmas Eve, he smiled and said, 'I love Christmas.' Mohamed has spent the last two weeks working tirelessly to raise money to ensure families have a turkey dinner. That's who he is. The disadvantaged deserve to be advantaged. Mohamed was born in Lebanon and today is a Canadian citizen. Mohamad loves this country as much as anyone I have met in my travels. He is a gifted entrepreneur who founded the restaurant chain Paramount Fine Foods. Today he gives back by using his intellectual, emotional and financial capital to help in so many ways. If embodied, the insights and lessons Mohamed offers would lift Canadian society. They could counter the negative energy of social media that herd people into camps and fortify walls made of biases and disbelief. And Mohamed Fakih's spirit and enthusiasm, well, we all need a lift in a year where variants and viruses have once again diminished, even denying what we all need and deserve. And to all of you, especially those who can't get together because of COVID or circumstance. I wish there was a magic wand to wave you all together. What we all have that is magical and often tested is our human spirit. Yes, our world is upside down, and it can and will be righted with our collective positivity and possibility. Here's to better times and time together. Happy Humanity to all.

This is a story of a woman's twenty-year battle with an eating disorder, and I even have her Mom join me on the show, as mental illness also impacts all who are close to the individual. Bring your tears, and then tears of joy. Riding a horse is where Laura Hearn found her peace and happiness from a world that denied her both. Bullied at school, alone more than with friends, and devasted by her parent's divorce. Laura desperately sought her Fathers' attention that waned after he remarried. What began as a single episode of throwing up bad food at an all-you-can-eat buffet spiralled into a twenty-year eating order that almost consumed Laura's life. Laura did everything she could to hide her illness, first with her University friends and then when building a successful career at the BBC. One day Laura found she was too weak to pull herself up on her horse. She had tried counselling before, but none had worked. This story is played too often within real lives, but this one has a happy ending made possible by her Mom selling all she had to send Laura to meet with and be with Carolyn Costin, who does remarkable work that helped Laura reclaim her life. Laura's Mom, Lynda, joins us on the show to give us a parents' perspective of all that happens when a child spirals into darkness. To do whatever a Parent can to bring light, but knowing from then on you will live with the fear that light might again become dark.

You could argue that the internet matters to most, but to Avi Arya, it mattered most. As a teenager growing up in Delhi, India, Avi had two dreams. To race cars and to then go on to Oxford University. Both crashed when his Dad was in danger of losing their family business, a small hotel and Avi had to step in to help. An international tourist who stayed longer and paid more for the room was where Avi saw an opportunity; how could a small hotel market to potential tourists worldwide? In the internet's earliest days, when access required a dial-up and small fortune, Avi took his first clicks towards marketing his family's hotel. His learning not only saved the hotel but allowed the family to acquire more, and his knowledge let him launch and build one of the biggest tourism marketing agencies in the world. Today, Avi's home is in Vancouver, and as one of the top digital influencers in the world, he now speaks around the world on how to master social media and the internet. And how does Avi introduce himself at the beginning of every talk, and often with the audience chanting in unison: I'm a father of two girls and six dogs, a streetcar racer turned hotelier turned Social Media Influencer. In this episode, with Avi's wonderful personality roaring through, you will hear about his incredible journey, from clicks to riches, his lessons in life that we can all benefit from, and his latest thinking on how you can grow your online presence through micro-videos.

The great reset or resignation, employee or life dissatisfaction, and general malaise. So many people want to make a change, try something different, but they feel it's too big of a stretch, or a dream they aren't capable of racing towards. Andre De Grasse's dream was to play professional basketball but in his final year, the program was cancelled at his high school. On a dare from a friend, and in borrowed shoes, he signed up for a track meet. From a standing start, as he didn't know how to use the blocks, Andre took the first steps towards racing to become the fastest man in the world and a medal winner in every Olympic competition he has entered. Not everyone will run as fast and as far as Andre De Grasse, or stand on a podium draped in Olympic Gold. However, most can learn from how Andre goes after his dreams on and off the track, with humility, grace, will and resilience. If you are feeling stuck on your starter blocks, or just starting out, or just love a fantastic story of conquest, you will enjoy this episode. As an added value, Dr. Ryan Todd, CEO of headversity, joins the show to talk about the head and heart of a champion, and how we can all learn from their approach to life.

How do you feel? I find myself feeling anxious at times, thinking more about my state of mind and body, my immune system and my mortality. I guess it's part of growing older but it's been fuelled by this barrage of pandemic news, and after being trapped, I realize there is so much more I need and want to do.

John Stackhouse says there is a way but with a price tag of $2 trillion. I ask if there is a will? I begin my podcast by sharing my near-death experience as a child, and then my observations from interviewing others who have knocked at death's doorstep, but through some combination of intervention, science or will have fought their way back. In doing so they return with a stronger appreciation of their fragility and mortality. They treasure life and often dedicate theirs to making our planet a better place. I then ask the essential question. Will the human race have to knock on death's doorstep to appreciate the fragility of our planet before taking the necessary steps to fight climate change? John Stackhouse is the Senior VP of RBC, in the Office of the President. John leads RBC's research on economic, technological and social change. After a year of extensive research, RBC has published a paper titled: The $2 trillion dollar transition. Canada's road to net zero. We discuss what this road means across six aspects of our economy. Electricity, Oil and Gas, Buildings, Transportation, Agriculture and Heavy Industry, and what will be required by Governments, the Private Sector and each of us. Every aspect of our economy can not only travel on Canada's road to net zero, but we can also unleash an economic renaissance populated with purpose and purposeful jobs.

While others run away from bricks and mortar retail, Doug Putman races in. What began as a single fruit stand in his teens, now bears billions of dollars in sales. Today Doug Putman owns HMV in Canada and the United Kingdom, Toys"R"Us and Babies R Us in Canada, FYE - For Your Entertainment in the USA, T. Kettle in Canada, Sunrise Records and he is only 37 years old. This is his incredible story and within, Doug offers so many lessons and my standing ovation for believing in retail and all `the energy and jobs it provides to the community and economy. So how did Doug accomplish so much in under 20 years? 1)His first retail venture was owning a Fruit Stand, which he quickly scaled to five. Learn the lessons he learned about cash flow, perishable fruit, and why hiring friends isn't always the answer. 2)His next big move was dropping out of first-year University as this wasn't his path. Doug joined his family's small collectible business as a warehouse helper making minimum wage. 3)Doug moved into sales, honed his ability to evaluate risk and reward, and his family let him try ideas and fail. 4)One day, an opportunity came from his top customer, Sunrise Records, and an owner that was retiring. That opportunity changed his life. Doug went from being their supplier to becoming their owner. 5)Today, Doug Putman is proving that retail is viable in Canada, United Kingdom and the USA, if you execute according to the lessons he has learned, and willingly shares. Please share with entrepreneurs, small business owners, those who aspire to be in charge of their own destiny and all who love retail.

We all know Arlene Dickinson as the Matriarch of the Dragon's Den, a best-selling author, and an acclaimed entrepreneur and investor in Canada's new economy. But did you know at 31, Arlene was a single Mom, with only a high school education and no means of how to feed her family? Did you know that she was an immigrant, an introvert and that she grew up in a dysfunctional home and in her teens, Arlene escaped to books as she felt she never fit in? In this episode, Arlene openly shares her story of overcoming her circumstances, including mental health challenges in her forties, to become one of our country's most respected and admired leaders.

We've all heard the expression being in the right place at the right time when opportunity knocks, but what about the wrong place, at the wrong time when tragedy hits and takes away all that you know. April 6, 2018, began as an ordinary day for Kaleb Dahlgren. He was on a bus with his Humboldt Broncos teammates heading to a must-win playoff game. A second later, and hockey outcomes no longer matters. On a clear and sunny day, a driver, commanding a semi-trailer truck at 100 km an hour, failed to yield at a flashing stop sign and smashed into their bus. Sixteen people died, and thirteen were injured. Four days after the accident, suffering trauma to his body and brain that doctors said was devastating and permanently damaging, Kaleb woke up in the hospital. He had no recollection of the accident, and it took him several days to comprehend that he was alive while others were dead. Kaleb Dahlgren is the story of the human spirit soaring at an unfathomable level. Kaleb must come to terms with Survivor's Guilt, defy and overcome the many sentences pronounced by medical experts, and choose what to do with his new lease on life. As you will soon hear, author, speaker and motivator, Kaleb Dahlgren chooses wisely, and for the better of humanity. The brilliant Amy Deacon, a social worker therapist, joins the show to talk about the mindset required to survive sudden tragedy.

Bring some Scottie Tissues and clap like no one is watching for this real-life fairytale. Lesra Martin, a kid who at age six goes from a middle-class life to having to survive on the violent streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick. At ten he starts to work to put food on his troubled family's table. Despite his regular school attendance, he remained illiterate until he was 16 years old. So what does Lesra Martin have to do with three Canadians? And what do they all have to do with getting Rubin Hurricane Carter freed in 1985? You won't believe it until you can hear it. An incredible story, packed with life lessons and observations and one essential question. How many Lesra Martin's are there out there who with a little love and encouragement could also change the world and the face of humanity. Share this story and why the impossible is always possible.

The morning of 9/11 began as an ordinary day. I was first in the door at Capital C, the agency. I put a pot of coffee on and began to organize my schedule. My office was right by the front door and I enjoyed the morning banter with the amazing team that worked there, as they made their way in. And then my life and all who remember day changed, and forever. At 8:46 am on September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03, the World Trade Center's South Tower was hit by United Airlines Flight 175. In total, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. We huddled around the television in the boardroom to come to terms with an attack on North American soil. Today, on this special edition of Chatter that Matters, my special guest is Kevin Newman. He is one of North American's most respected anchors, investigative reporters and documentary producers. Fresh from his own tour of duty anchoring the World News in the United States and being part of Good Morning America, Kevin had returned to Canada to launch a national news program for Global at the dinner hour. It was to be more friendly and accessible news, until a few days into his assignment Kevin had to take the anchors chair for 16 hours and quarterback the information and speculation that followed. Kevin takes us back to that day, and the twenty years of chaos and disruption that has followed. He talks about the price journalists pay to absorb the news, and how the pursuit of a career can also overpower the importance of family. Kevin pulls no punches in calling out how the Canadian Government completely abandoned the Afghans that kept our soldiers and journalists alive. I then bring back Armin Huska, from RBC to talk about the role brands and corporations must play in keeping journalism alive.

Salah Bachir makes every moment matter. Salah is a philanthropist, a patron of the arts, a gifted entrepreneur and a Chancellor of OCAD, a renowned learning institution for Art and Design. Salah's life experiences are as lavish and eclectic as his art collection, a body of work that almost any museum would covet. He once wrapped Christmas gifts in Andy Warhol sketches, before Andy was 'Andy. Only one survived and that sketch is now worth over $100,000. I have known Salah for years, and I consider him an old soul, a wizard of mastering complexity, armed with a twinkle in his eye, a purposeful stride. Salah listens generously and responds intelligently. Born in Lebanon, Salah Bachir immigrated to Canada at age 10. Salah learned English watching Batman, and began his lifelong pursuits of activism and philanthropy by launching a grape boycott at his local grocery store, where he raised $150 in support of Caesar Chavez and farmworkers. Salah learned an essential lesson from Chavez that day of the importance of personalizing the ask to make giving matter. This lesson has enabled Salah to has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for causes and charities that include the LGBTQ community, healthcare, and the arts. Salah is an incredible story of an immigrant who built a media empire, who hung with Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, and so many more, and who realizes, since a young kid, that life isn't for the taking, it's for the giving. Jacquie Sestito, Director of Brand Marketing for RBC joins the show to talk about why art matters and what we can all do to support Canadian artists.

Terry O'Reilly is the host of Under the Influence, one of the most popular radio shows and podcasts on the planet. Terry gives the public a rare backstage pass into the world of advertising, pop culture and human nature. Today I turn the tables to get a rare backstage pass into the life of Terry O'Reilly. The advice he offers you is a masterclass in getting the attention your career and ideas deserve. Here are Terry's opening thoughts. 'You see the study of human nature is the business of marketers. Our job, our skill is to understand the concept of desire. Now I am an Ad Man. My job is to get my client's products in the path of that desire. Now the ultimate goal, the holy grail, the pot of gold in my business is to create the easiest smoothest, most velvety, most speed bump-free path to that sale.' The best way I can describe Terry is to borrow from another great Ad Man, Rob Siltanen, responsible for one of the most iconic advertisements for the past 30 years, who wrote a commercial for Apple that began like this. 'Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.' Rob could also have written this ad to describe Terry O'Reilly who sees things differently. Terry has won multiple global awards for his work as a copywriter. Terry could have made that his career but he saw and acted on an unmet need in the marketplace, and became a wildly successful entrepreneur building Pirate Radio into a home where radio creativity could flourish. And today Terry is an acclaimed speaker, best-selling author and world-class host. To round out the show, Caroline Paxton, Vice President of Media and Strategic Initiatives at RBC, returns to my show. Today Caroline talks about fostering creativity in the workplace.

How to be more human, and to have a higher purpose that just profit. 2)An employers promise extends beyond a paycheck, it is to make each employees more employable. 3)Tenure is giving way to fluidity. How to turn this into an opportunity for both the employee and employer. John Stackhouse, author, thought leader and the host of the podcast Disruptors, returns to Chatter that Matters to extend the conversation and to talk about why creativity is the oxygen that breathes life into any skill. As he says ' creativity is a team sport.

What often matters most to us and how we think, feel and behave, are the numbers. We look to weather reports to determine our activities, a scale to motivate a diet, a report card to seek a tutor and housing prices, walking scores, and crime rates to identify desirable neighbourhoods. Polls shape how we vote and policyholders, strategists, decision-makers and entrepreneurs seek the truth through strength in numbers. Numbers matter and John Dick and his company Civic Science are challenging the status quo to source, interpret and provide fresh and relevant intelligence on now and how it will influence tomorrow. After interviewing John, I see him as a rebel, not in a placard carrying, chain myself to a fence kind of way, but through his approach to data collection, entrepreneurship and even life. John pens a Saturday newsletter that is one of the most popular in America. He shares our sentiment and our actions, with his own brand of irreverence and humour. And by night John is also the lead singer in a hard rock cover band called Moscow Mule. John Dick shares the best and worst of number gathering, why we should pay attention to the big social engines. John also provides incredible insights on what it takes to be an extraordinary entrepreneur. Craig Cameron, Director of Client Experience and Insights for RBC, joins the show to talk about how brands use data to shape their products and services.

Feel good Friday. Esie Mensah is my guest this week on Chatter that Matters. Her art, her attitude, her approach to life and her ability to tell stories are truly extraordinary. Esie's passion is dance, but she was often turned down because she was too black, even compared to other dancers of colour. She chose to become too good to turn down. This confidence and commitment to her capabilities led her to develop her own dance style - Afro-Fusion which caught the attention and then collaboration with artists like Drake, Rihanna and Arcade Fire, and major brands and art festivals. Esie Mensah then went from collaboration to her own content creation and in doing so realized that she had an ability to not only move audiences but to move society. Esie Mensah is an award-winning, multifaceted and extraordinary artist, and one who proves that ordinary can become extraordinary by following their dreams and passions. A powerful and inspirational story. Stephanie Lupinacci from RBC joins the show to talk about what they are doing to help emerging artists find the audience they deserve.To connect with Esie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/esiemensah/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EsieMensah Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/EsieAKACraige Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/esiemensahtheartist To chat with Tony: To chat with Tony Chapman.

Tragedy to Triumph and the inspirational lessons in between. Born to a teenage drug addict, abused as a child, and raped at fourteen would stop most in their tracks if not derail you for life but not Victoria Pelletier. Her story is one of being unstoppable, of seizing opportunity wherever and whenever it presented itself. Victoria's mantra is #noexcuses. Victoria became a retail store manager in her mid-teens and was offered her first Executive Leadership Position by her early twenties. Victoria's career trajectory includes leading Diversity and Inclusion initiatives for some of the world's top organizations. Victoria is a mother, a proud supporter of the LGBTQ community, author, speaker and frequent contributor to the conversation on diversity, and leadership on television, print and social media. Victoria shares her triumph to tragedy story while offering us many powerful lessons in life on how to be unstoppable. How to be bold and to break out of your comfort zone. Diversity makes us better. Never accept the status quo. Women need to negotiate work like they negotiate life. Where there is conviction, there is capacity. Outsource the things that don't bring you joy. Be yourself and celebrate your inner misfit. Hire people who aren't you. Vicki Saunders - the Founder of SheEO also joins the program to talk about how women entrepreneurs, with the right support, are unstoppable.

A true and moving story that will first bring tears to your eyes then joy to your heart while filling your knapsack with invaluable life lessons on impermanence, perspective, personal power, and turning your possibility into action. Robert Pardi shouldn't be grateful, but he is. Robert grew up with a father who physically abused him. Years later, Desiree, the love of his life, passed away after battling breast cancer for eleven years. At that point, Robert lost all concepts of purpose, direction, and a reason to live. He even contemplated suicide. Then one day, Robert decided he couldn't change what happened, so he chose to focus on what could happen. Robert realized that these horrific experiences also offered him life skills in resilience, determination, imagination, flexibility, and insightfulness that he could share with others. Today, Robert is based in Italy. He is the author of the book Chasing Life, and a world-renowned coach and inspirational speaker. Enjoy and share!

Gil Moore is my guest, and I chose the word Triumph for two reasons. The first is how he approaches life as an entrepreneur and a renaissance man when it comes to education. It's also a play on words as Gil is the drummer and one of the vocalists in the band, Triumph, who broke into the USA market, but broke up at their peak when they were selling out stadiums, and their records played worldwide. We chat about Triumph's rise to fame and the reasons behind their breakup, and that alone is a great story. What makes this episode so much more is what Gil did with his life before and afterwards. He built METALWORKS, one of the top recording studios in North America, with nearly 200 Gold and Platinum record awards, and Canadian Music Week (CMW) "Studio of the Year" award for a record 17th time. In addition, METALWORKS INSTITUTE has the largest enrollment of any Ontario media arts college, with over 300 full-time students. As you will soon hear, Gil's ideas to revolutionize education, I hope, will move to the top of the policymaker's charts. Jeff Lindsay makes a return appearance to share a story of an aspiring artist who benefited from a collaboration between METALWORKS and RBC. Side Note and a true confession: I tried to play music: Guitar, piano, and even trumpet in school. I could read it and appreciate it; what I lacked was musicality. I couldn't feel it or channel it. This inability made me admire those who can play alone or in a group and choose music as their career. For that reason, I love rock documentaries from the first chords, and then for a very few, their talent, effort, and luck lead to selling out stadiums. How do they manage their trajectory? Who controls their destiny, the artist or the industry? Within their group, who has influence or authority over their creative process and their image? What happens after the band breaks up?

After chatting with Sandi Boucher, I realize how little I know about the Indigenous Culture and how much better I would be as a human being if I valued what they value. I suppose that is true across every culture. Imagine if we opened our minds and hearts to others and see people who are foreign to our way of life as an opportunity to enrich versus isolate ourselves. If we did we would be a better human race, with the resolve to reconcile our differences and solve the problems that even threaten our existence. Sandi is a proud Ojibwe woman and a Seine River First Nation member in northern Ontario who knows full well the devastation of colonialism, alcoholism, and domestic violence. Sandi escaped her circumstances and today is an internationally acclaimed author, speaker, storyteller and activist. Sandi supports both sides of reconciliation by creating safe spaces, not only for Indigenous peoples but also for non-Indigenous. Sandi draws upon the past to provide a path forward for reconciliation that you can draw upon to reconcile your differences with others, even those closest to you. It is also a path Canadians can follow to help reconcile our past, to build a better future. Dale Sturges, Head, RBC Indigenous Financial Services joins the show to talk about the size of the Indigenous economy, how prevalent entrepreneurship is within their communities, and what is required to unlock opportunity.

Five dollars and a dream. In 1927, a 24-year-old Hungarian named Andrew Peller sails into Halifax. He knows no English, has five dollars in his pocket, but he dreams of building a better life. For the next 34 years, Andrew proves he is a gifted entrepreneur. He makes a fortune, but a bad investment has him lose everything in his late fifties. Andrew finds the capital and energy to rebuild when many are contemplating retirement. He bases his new business on believing that Canadians are ready to appreciate wine like they do in Europe. As it turns out, Andrew is 30 years too early with his insight, but his son and then his grandson John Peller build on his dream and create one of the most admired wine companies in the world. John Peller shares this story of dreaming and doing, of family matters and why immigration matters. John also offers his thoughts on what Canada must do to support its agricultural sector. And Andrew Peller's ashes are buried in the mouth of the Halifax harbour, as he considers sailing to Canada with his five dollars and his dream, as the luckiest day of his life.

I don't know what you were doing at 15, but for me it was hanging out with my friends. I had dreams and ambitions but they were confined to my world, and not conquering the world. With the Tokyo Olympics around the corner, I chat with Penny Oleksiak. Penny became the first Canadian to win four medals in the same Summer Olympic Games and Canada's youngest Olympic champion. The irony is that when she was qualifying to represent Canada, she was hoping for an alternative spot on the relay team versus having such success she became Canada's flag bearer for the closing ceremonies. We chat about how her life changes when fame throws a blinding spotlight onto your every move. Penny opens up about all that comes with being the world's best and the mental and physical preparation required to stay there. There was a time when Penny wasn't happy with parts of her life. She credits RBC, Bianca Andreescu and Michael Phelps, for being there for her and Michael for giving her a book, The Power of Now, as a means for resetting and reframing her expectations. Evan MacInnis, Director, Pathway and Performance Programs at Canadian Sport Centre, and RBC Training Ground, joins the show to provide us with his perspective on what it takes to own the podium. Is Penny ready for the Tokyo Olympics? Listen to her passion and conviction, and you be the judge.

Drinking from a firehose is how to describe my interview with Bob Lefsetz. Bob has been labelled a music guru and critic but I see him more as a cultural anthropologist who studies this intersection between music, culture, life, technology and era. Bob Lefsetz authors the Lefsetz Letters. I am a fan of how he thinks and writes so on a lark I sent him an email inviting him on the show. The way Bob Lefsetz breaks down the decades from the fifties to the present is must-listen content. This episode also covers his personal story, his personal battles with artists including Taylor Swift who wrote the song Mean as a counter to the scathing review he gave her for her Grammy Performance. I present Bob Lefsetz. Beholden to no one, razor-sharp, unapologetic, unabashed and unafraid.

Is social media a weapon of mass destruction? Is it undermining democracy, pulling people to the fringe, fueling hatred and torching the middle ground? Is conventional media any different? Is there any trust left in the news we digest and the stories that populate our feed? There is no one better to answer these questions than Kirstine Stewart, one of the most influential individuals in media. Kirstine is Canadian, brilliant, a high achiever with a career earned through extraordinary accomplishments. Today Kirstine is Head of the Future of Media at the World Economic Forum. With that position, she has the owners and leaders of all world's leading media organizations on her speed dial. In this episode, Kirstine also shares her life's story and the lessons she has learned as the Former VP @Twitter US, where she had to onboard then Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. In Canada, Kirstine was the Founding GM of Twitter Canada. Exec VP and Head of CBC, CBC Newsworld, Head of International Hallmark Channels, Alliance Atlantis Lifestyle Channels, President Paragon International. Kirstine is the author of the best-selling Business Leadership Book "Our Turn. Her take on mentorship and her position on imposters syndrome alone is refreshing and of immense value. Armin Huska, Global Head of Media and Agencies at RBC, joins me to discuss the future of Canadian media, why not to drink the kool-aid of social media platforms, and why journalism matters.

In my retrospective show, the microphone is turned, and David Trafford joins me as the host. Dave asks me about the original intent of the show, my favourite characters, some special moments and the lessons learned. In 15 months we have produced a podcast every week, a prime time radio show, and weekend radio show since last fall, with commitments in place to continue throughout 2021. All of this is possible because of the unwavering support of RBC. They have provided me with guidance, experts, encouragement and ideas for growing my audience on top of the dollars need to produce and distribute the show. Thank you.

I wasn't sure how my radio audience would react to Mark Brand. It turns out they loved him. Mark's background includes drugs, alcohol, nights on the street, and because of all he is unapologetic, unabashed, and unforgiving. Mark is a force of human nature and the founder of Better Life Foundation. He uses capitalism and being a restaurant operator as his platform to arm himself as a justice warrior. His innovative approach to breathing life into struggling neighbourhoods is being studied and adopted by the United Nations. Mark is a great interview, and his life lessons teach us that our path forward must be lit by a North Star that extends beyond profit.

Joe Pine, one of the thought leaders of modern-day capitalism offers fresh thinking on how you lead, market, sell, teach, engage and create memories that last a lifetime, through experiences that matter. In 1999 by Joe Pine and Jim Gilmour published the Experience Economy, Work is Theatre, and Every Business is a Stage. Today it is considered one of the top 100 business books of all time. This book changed my life, and what Joe Pine shares with you today about his new thinking might change how you approach engaging and persuading all the stakeholders who matter to you. I was seven years into building my new agency, Capital C, and we struggled with why we mattered. After reading their book, I bought into their thesis that the next economic progression is the experience economy. That value and being valued was through the experiences you offered, not the products or services you sold. I realized that our future as an agency would be to create experiences where consumers could engage with our client's brands in-store or in the marketplace. Six years later, we won Agency of the Year. In this episode, Joe Pine talks about the key findings from his new book including our move online and the use of technology. Joe shares his recipe for creating experiences that create value for you and are valued by following the four 'E's - education, entertainment, esthetics, and escape.

Michael McCain is an incredible human being, and a dear friend. I admire Michael as a father, philanthropist, passionate Canadian, and one of our most respected leaders. Michael has, what I believe, is the answer to the future of capitalism. A sharp and relentless focus on shared values where every stakeholder, including Planet Earth, has a seat at the table, versus shareholder value where one wins over the other. An organization that is driven by a higher purpose than profit. This isn't a mission statement, tucked behind framed glass, this is a path that the entire company he leads, Maple Leaf Foods is racing on. To date Maple Leaf is the first major food company to be carbon neutral, targeting e a 50% reduction in waste by 2025, and their end game is to become the most sustainable protein company on Planet Earth. In this podcast, we learn about Michael's life story, the incredible bond he had with his Father, the darkest moment in his career where 23 people lost their lives because of a listeria outbreak in his plant. You will also hear how Michael fearlessly called out then President Trump for his reckless acts, and being a narcissist, and so much more. I would also encourage you to share the podcast with any young adults as the many lessons Michael shares apply as much to them, as to you. John Stackhouse, the former Editor and Chief of the Globe and Mail, and today an SVP in the Office of the CEO of RBC, best-selling author and the host of one of my favourite podcasts, the Disruptors, joins me to talk about Michael's unique capabilities and to share his thoughts on capitalism and leadership.

Today, in honour of Mothers Day, I am putting all women on a pedestal for everything you do to nurture, protect, mentor, care, lead, create and contribute to a better world. I begin by first talking about my Mom, who left us over thirty years ago, but whose examples and character I still lead my life with. My first guest is an extraordinary human being. Michelle DiEmanuele is the President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners, one of North America's leading and respected community-based acute care facilities. Michelle shares stories from her incredible career, the lessons she had learned along the way, and how she finds balance in life. Michelle also takes us to the front line of healthcare and the heroic effort that is happening every minute to keep patients alive and all of us safe. We then look at the future of healthcare, and Canada's role in delivering what often appears to be opposing forces - to give us the healthcare we need and deserve and at a price we can afford. I then chat with a dear friend of mine, Mary DePaoli, the Executive VP of RBC. I have known Mary for many years; few, if any, I admire more for her brilliance, compassion, and immense capabilities. Mary talks about how she manages to do it all while putting her family first, mentorship, how every moment is an opportunity that can change your life, and more. She even has me blushing.

Benjamin Saxe's earliest memory is as a four-year-old boy living in the slums of San Jose in Costa Rica with his drug-addicted Mom, and she often abandons him for weeks at a time. Benjamin's only focus is survival and doing what he can to keep his Mom alive. Benjamin's dire situation changes one day. The Pauper became the Prince when a wealthy family adopts him. Benjamin describes himself as a street animal or urchin but one who embarks on a journey of triumph. Benjamin has an affinity for creativity and math and ends up studying at one of the top architecture schools. He meets Erica, his life partner, reconnects with his Mom, and then moves to England. He works for Richard Rogers, one of the top architect firms in the world. There Benjamin wins the top award in architecture for designing and building the first home his Mom has not made out of scrap metal.

In a special Earth Day tribute, I take you back to 1970 and the two significant events that led to the creation of a day honouring our planet. We then fast forward to 2050, where the population of the earth tops 10 billion. We then travel back to today, where I ask three people an essential question. Do we have the ability to feed our people and sustain our planet? Michael McCain is the CEO of Maple Leaf Foods. He is on a quest to make his company the most sustainable protein company on earth and has already made massive strides. You will learn the difference between shareholder value and shared values and why I believe that what Michael is doing is the future of capitalism. Megan Leslie is the CEO of WWF Canada, and their vision is a Canada with abundant wildlife. Their work is admirable but what stands out is what each of us can do to play our part in bringing back habitat. It's within our reach. Wade Barnes, the CEO of FarmersEdge. A Canadian-based and a global leader in providing digital solutions to farmers and growers enabling More and Less. More yield, productivity, connectivity, carbon storage with less risk, and impact on the environment have already made massive strides in their quest. Three individuals, leading organizations committed to Planet Earth, and to making sustainability a matter of choice, not chance. They inspire all of us to do more and be more.

Dan Ariely's life, as a teenager, changed in a flash. Dan was living in Israel when he was caught in an explosion. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a burn ward, his home for the next three years. Dan described his life there as a 'side actor'. His friends moved on with their lives, while his life and every decision involving his treatment were no longer his to control. As he dealt with his horrific pain Dan came to the conclusion that so many of the decisions on how patients were treated, were wrong. These insights and observations set Dan on a path of education and discovery. Today, Dan Ariely is one of the world's leading thinkers on how we think, feel and behave. Fifteen million people have watched Dan's TED Talks. A multiple-best-selling NY Times Author, a Professor at Duke University, and a co-founder with another extraordinary mind, Kelly Peters of BEworks, a Canadian consultancy with a global reputation. On Chatter that Matters, Dan and Kelly chat about why we make bad and irrational decisions, why others' bad behaviour might encourage you. We also look at how has COVID has stripped us of our freedom and control. Dan and Kelly will provide you with coping mechanisms and strategies to reclaim your sense of control and make better financial, career, and life decisions while offering compelling advice for business and political leaders.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. CS Lewis. Jennifer Menard-Shand is living proof of this quote, and her incredible and at times heart-wrenching story of turning impossibility into possibility will inspire you. Jennifer lives a happy childhood until her parents divorced. Stability turned into instability as her Mother chased her demons, chooses a series of abusive partners, and kept disrupting any hope of normality by always moving. Things go from bad to much worse when her Mom remarried, and Jennifer went from being a thirteen-year-old looking for guidance to the one trying to protect her Mom. One night, with her Mom lying on the floor, bleeding from shattered glass, Jennifer reaches for a knife and steps in front of another domestic situation. Jennifer starts looking for an escape by travelling down dark paths of drugs, alcohol, petty crime and even witchcraft. The power of this story is in what Jennifer does to change her circumstances. A move to Toronto, a mentor who believes in her and encourages her to chase purpose with passion. Jennifer rediscovers her faith, and a job where she found success and validation, led to her realizing that within her is her destiny. Today, Jennifer is a successful entrepreneur, and owner of Staff Shop, a role model, inspirational speaker, and soon-to-be Mother.

A must-listen podcast for aspiring entrepreneurs, startups, students, and anyone who values creativity and ideas. I also encourage anyone looking to make or is making a meaningful career or life change. Why? This is a story of five people who gave up all they had to chase their dream inside the nightmare of COVID. A year ago, a supergroup emerged when five individuals, each at the top of the game, lept off their career ladder to form Broken Heart Love Affair. Bev Hammond, Denise Rossetto, Todd Mackie, Carlos Moreno and Jay Chaney. Their dream was to renew their love for creating advertising and create content that the consumer and their client would love. I compared their endeavour to the Travelling Wilbury's, a supergroup formed in 1988 when George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbinson came together. This podcast is steeped in powerful life lessons to inspire all to do more and be more, get us to where we need, deserve, and want to go. Broken Heart Love Affair - you beat with passion, purpose and pursuit.

I don't know if you are born with talent, but it pours through Harry Connick Jr's veins. At age three, he performs for smiles; by age nine, Harry is recording an album and plays the Piano Concerto No. 3 Opus 37 of Beethoven with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, and by the end of his teens, he is in New York with his first record deal. Harry Connick Jr has sold over 16 million albums and has won over audiences with his recorded and live music, acting in moves, television and performing on Broadway. In this podcast, Harry shares his life story. The phone call from Rob Reiner, who invited Harry first to play incidental music in the movie When Harry met Sally and ended with Harry singing most of the songs and finding fame. Matthew Modine took him under his wing on a film set to show him what it takes to own the camera and how Harry had to stretch himself doing a television show like Will and Grace. You will also learn three of Harry Connick Jr's life lessons that you can apply to help you do more and to be more, to get to where you need, want and deserve to go. Harry talks about dreaming big and then animating that dream, so you never lose sight of your destination or your faith that you will be living it one day. Harry talks about the importance of dreaming and doing, the hours he invests in preparation and practice so that he can break down the door when opportunity knocks. Finally, Harry Connick Jr opens up about how he dealt with COVID and the darkness he felt when his stage lights turned off and the microphones to go quiet. That period of isolation, and the grief he felt from 14 people he knew dying from COVID, led Harry Connick Jr to a renewed faith in his religion, in himself, and performing and creating a new album, 'Alone with My Faith'. It was therapy for himself and what he hopes is a gift for all who are struggling with the realities of today. As I did, I encourage you to listen to the album with headphones on and the room dark.
