"Always ask why. You must know what's going on all around you. But if you want a really interesting life, don't say why, say why not." When you open doors in your mind, opportunities in the tangible world will present themselves. Jan Meek learned a very simple and very powerful lesson very early in life when she was taught to approach life with a 'why not?' attitude. After opening that door in her mind, there was nothing stopping her from earning four Guinness World Records. Two for rowing across the Atlantic in 101 days with her son, and two for racing 403 miles to the North Pole. Before that, her first 'why not' landed her a job in the film and TV industry working with names like Johnny Goodman, Roger Moore, and Sammy Davis Junior. As fate would have it, when Jan landed in Barbados after crossing the Atlantic, she met 'Canada's Coach' and international public speaker, Raymond Aaron, who encouraged her to share her inspiring stories on the stage as a public speaker. She's now in the process of writing, Chicken Soup For The Ocean Lover's Soul and her auto biography, Meek & Wild. Expert actions steps: Always ask, "why not?" to take great strides forward in life.

"Being brave and courageous is doing something that everyone in that room hates. That's true bravery…Exposing your friends virtue signalling and hypocrisy… that takes courage." - Phelim McAllen on producing movies. It takes extreme courage to step forward and tell the truth when the truth isn't popular. But that's exactly what Phelim McAleer did when he and his team produced My Son Hunter. The Hunter Biden story has been told but mainstream media has been controlling the narrative and covering up the truth. With a high production value, a powerful cast, and a thirst for truth in the masses, it's no wonder My Son Hunter has gone viral. Maurence Fox plays Hunter Biden, John James plays Joe, Emma Gojkovic plays Grace Anderson, Gina Carano plays Agent Hound, and it was directed by Robert Davi. Phelim is a producer of many truth films against the narrative, including The ObamaGate Movie, Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer, Not Evil Just Wrong, Mine Your Own Business: The Dark Side of Environmentalism.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world — no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." - Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States The future of the economy is unclear and changes are happening so fast now that it's hard to keep up.

"We have to be compassionate as conservatives. We have to show that we care what people are going through." In business, your message needs to be aimed at people who have an acute problem that needs to be solved. This same principle applies to politics and there are powerful examples of this from the last several decades. The Honourable Tony Clement came into politics in his mid-teens, when free choice and free markets were being threatened by the spread of communism, before the fall of the Soviet Union. As a member of the conservative party and minister of health and industry, Tony has always worked to protect individual freedom from big government. Tony believes that big government is now on the rise again. Expert action steps: Never give up. It's about how you step up and face adversity. Hope is not a strategy. When you have goals in mind, you have to know how you're going to get things done. Have grace in your life. Be understanding. Be compassionate. Power is good but love and compassion are even more important. Go online and register as a conservative at conservative.ca.
