"One man's garbage is another man's gold."
On this episode, I chat with musician, songwriter and actor Paul Snider who tells me how he has taken this quote and belief and sparked a beautiful revolution on stage. "The Music of Junk" is an original musical composed by Paul himself, featuring the performance of original music on instruments crafted from junk and recycled materials, and have played in theatres and venues around British Columbia.
Learn Paul's story on how he came up with this idea and where that has taken him. Check out the website to learn more about the musical experience.

Creating Global Impact with The Earth Group
The Earth Group exists entirely to provide school meals to children globally, while minimizing our impact on the planet wherever possible. I chat with co-founder Kori Chilibeck on how his company is on a mission to changing the narrative, with profits of the products purchased going directly to the UN World Food Programme. We discuss the infamous 100% aluminum water bottles that I got to use on film sets with the return of single use products, how they work with local Albertan farmers to grow and sell fair trade teas and coffee, and why supporting businesses such as the Earth Group will allow us to work towards a sustainable and ethical world.
