    Dwayne De Rosario

    Dwayne De Rosario is one of the best soccer players Canada has ever produced. He was always a legit threat to score a goal or create a chance for all the clubs he played for including Toronto FC as well as being a constant offensive presence for the Canadian National Team. Dwayne and I discuss how looking back on your childhood can be therapeutic as he's done in his new book DeRo: My Life. You'll learn plenty about him in this chat regarding his motivations and mentality. Here we go!

    Behind the music with Rob Baker

    Behind the music with Rob Baker

    Tragically Hip guitarist Rob Baker joins me this week and we get into the band's artistic process and work ethic. He describes his early relationship with the guitar plus the Hip's mentality when touring and recording. I ask some questions from listeners but we learn what Rob's musical plans are going forward. This is a rare look inside the workings of Canada's most iconic band through a very open and honest conversation.

    Solving a long standing problem with Geoff Mackay

    Solving a long standing problem with Geoff Mackay

    Geoff Mackay is a talented standup comic out of Ottawa who I met many years ago. Geoff has always been a very together guy and even then he gave me the sense he would go on to do bigger things. Although he still has a foot in the standup world, he's gone on to found a new clean tech company called The Aggressive Good which looks to change how bulk products are distributed in grocery stores. This new system is far more economical and much better for the environment. Find out how Geoff is not just looking to make us laugh, but also making us rethink our grocery store experience. Do it up!

Great Dude, Great Guests

Trent McClellan is one of the best people out there. He isn’t curing diseases, or building electric cars, but he’s cultivating positivity, and growing gratitude, in everyone he meets.

In this podcast, he’s found other people who are generating great things. It’s worth your time to listen to the good that’s out there.
