Ever wonder if it's possible to make money with a network marketing company? Or if you could even turn a simple idea into a successful home-based business? Today we have answers to those questions with our visit with Greg Armfield, successful coach with BODI, formerly known as Beachbody. Greg built a thriving business with Beachbody and is now building a successful texting business called TextP2P.

What if you could make a difference in someone's life with just a $5 dollar bowl of soup? Wouldn't that be cool? Well - you CAN! In this episode I talk to Tyler Melnyk, founder of No Fixed Address to talk about the soup trailer that he runs in Calgary, Alberta and the Huggabowl program that provides soup to community members. Tyler is a great guy and his program is absolutely amazing.

Get ready to be inspired my friends!  On this episode of The Ordinary Jo Show I sit down with Winnipeg Legend…Paul Bernardin, a local runner who has made it his mission to run every street in Winnipeg, all 5000 km of them! AND to make this adventure even more special, Paul is using his journey to raise money for the St. Boniface Hospital Cardiac Ward - a place that is near and dear to his heart.  Tune in to hear Paul’s remarkable story of recovering from a heart attack to go on and change the world!  We had an amazing visit and I can’t wait for you to meet Paul!

This episode is definitely worth the listen! Sandra is the founder of a program called Women Helping Women Beadwork, where she promotes and sells jewelry created by incarcerated Indigenous women.

Sandra has gone on an amazing journey of personal connection and growth - and has given these women the opportunity to celebrate their culture, learn valuable skills and earn money for their work.

We are also joined by Winnipeg motivational speaker, Vinnie Lillie, who provides valuable insight into the critical need to allow these women to continue making their jewelry despite being incarcerated.

Please listen and share - as just recently, Sandra and her friends have been prohibited from running their business - which has been heartbreaking to these amazing women, to say the least.

NOTE - my microphone didn't work great during this podcast - but you can hear Sandra and Vinnie very clearly!

If you are into running, biking, triathalon, adventure racing or just cool stuff in general - this is the book for you. If you have a loved one who is going on a journey with Alzheimer's Disease or Dementia, this is the book for you!

In their memoir, A Mile at a Time, Mark and Travis Macy share their love for adventure racing and extreme sports as they navigate Mark's diagnosis with Alzheimer's Disease. In today's episode, I share my review of this incredible story of love, friendship, resilience, and courage.

This is an especially meaningful book and episode for me, as when I watched the Prime series, World's Toughest Race (where Mark and Travis compete), I was going on my own journey with Dad as he was faced with Dementia. This book and tv series are a wonderful reminder of the magic of love and the special bond between friends and family - none of which are diminished with time, age, or illness.

This is not a depressing episode of loss on grief, but rather one of hope and inspiration. I hope you enjoy it. :)

The beautiful thing about interviewing my mom is that you never quite know what will come out of either one of our mouths or where the conversation will go! Today's Mother's Day episode did not disappoint haha! We cover a lot of ground here, from death by electrocution to strippers, to shooting snakes and practical advice for mothers!



Despite my audio being a bit on the crap side, this is a fun little episode that might give you a few giggles and a little advice for motherhood too!



Thanks Mum! Love ya!
