I Want 2 Know Podcast is about reviving the art of conversation and being interested in other people, it’s really humbling to hear an expert talk about their work or learning what interests them. People are a valuable resource and Dale Carnegie, who famously wrote “How To Win Friends and Influence People” knew the value in being genuinely interested in people and attributed it to his success. My wife loves the quote from that book “you can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you”

    Anshul is such an Interesting guy. I knew, when I met him a few years back that he would have some amazing stories, boy did he!!! We had a conversation about his butterfly  art work, about how he was almost beaten to death in Mexico and many more exciting stories. I love his philosophy about life and family. We cant wait to have him back.

    He recently graduated from the Vancouver Film School and I cant wait to see what he does in the near future!! This podcast was a blast.

    Episode 76- Reppresion and Moonshine - Rappers

    I got to do my first podcast with local rapper Charles Woodman and his producer Aiden Johnson. These are a couple of young men that grind. It not an easy job working your way into the Calgary rap industry but they are well on their way. I love their innovation and hard work to put out their art. I am also complete excited about the talent. Check out this podcast and go see a show!!!

    Episode 75 - Christine Taylor - Hoodoo Designs

    This episode went all over he place. Christine Tailor is a local jewelry maker to the stars!! She has done custom lines of jewelry for a Jann Arden tour, the CCMA awards and the Golden Globe awards. She also works part time for our local food bank as the communication manager. Now this is where is goes off the rails... We somehow started talking about kill kits, serial killers, and why she can't watch movie where the characters might smell bad.  I had a blast talking with Christine. I know you will love this episode. I am looking forward to getting to know more about her.

    Episode 74 - Tina Petrow Airdrie Councillor

    Episode 74 - Tina Petrow Airdrie Councillor

    Tina Petrow is a passionate woman with a heart for her community. She is new to politics and feels like she has been drinking her political education through a fire hose. We talked about Airdrie's goal of being a blue zone. The city wants to encourage it people to live long and healthy lives.  We discussed recycling, LGBTQ and parenting. I believe she exposed some of my ignorance on these matters and help enlighten me. Tina changed my views on city politicians. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed talking to her.
