    The Aloe Blacc Interview | Wedotalk with David Jaques

    While traveling to Las Vegas with the Wedo team, David had the opportunity to interview musician, singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer and philanthropist Aloe Blacc. Aloe needs less introduction than most of our Wedotalk guests. David and Aloe talk about Aloe’s music career and the songs he has produced, the most famous of which are “I Need a Dollar” and “The Man”; but the conversation also turns to Aloe’s early life in Southern California as the son of immigrants from Panama, his education and his corporate work, before dedicating himself full time to his music career. David and Aloe also talk about the social messages in some of his songs, such as the inspirational lyrics in “Together Is Better Thank One”; and also, the mental health challenges facing performers in a high-profile entertainment world. In addition to being a well renowned musician, Aloe is also very actively involved in philanthropy, and specifically in Malaria no More, a charity whose mission is to end malaria deaths through engaging leaders, rallying the public and delivering life-saving tools and education across the African Continent.

    Overcoming Setbacks With A Positive Mindset | Wedotalk with David Jaques

    Overcoming Setbacks With A Positive Mindset | Wedotalk with David Jaques and Special Guest - Daniel MacQueen On September 20, 2022 David interviewed Dan MacQueen from Vancouver, Canada. In his mid-twenties, Dan was a recent graduate of a master’s degree in sustainability and was working for a technology company in London. He sought medical help when suffering from headaches, and distorted vision and was diagnosed with a non-cancerous cyst on his brain. During surgery, he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage and was severely incapacitated and in a coma for several weeks. On the road to recovery, he was in and out of consciousness before moving to a rehabilitation center for several more months. Slowly, he re-learned how to walk, talk and smile again; but about one year after his initial surgery, he needed a second brain surgery to unblock a shunt, which set him back another couple of months. After a 16-month journey, he was able to return to work. Dan credits his positive mindset and determination not to give up as the main reasons that he was able to recover. Dan had received great support from his employer, but recently, in a corporate re-structuring, he lost his job. Once again, his positive mindset resulted in him re-framing his life and pursue a new career as a freelance motivational speaker, coach and podcast host. Dan shares with David, many of his stories of recovery and the opportunities that he sees for himself in the future.

    Feeling Good About Yourself | Wedotalk with David Jaques and Special Guest - Evelyn Santizo

    On September 23, 2022, David interviewed Evelyn Santizo, while attending the RevolutionHER conference in Toronto Canada. Evelyn has re-invented herself professionally a number of times, with the recurring theme of serving others and helping people to feel better about themselves. Originally from Guatemala, she migrated to Canada with her family as a young child. In her early life, she dreamt of becoming a police officer, but when her mother feared for her safety, she pursued a career in nursing instead. While working on a geriatric ward, she tells the story of helping elderly patients feel better about their appearance. In her desire to help people feel more confident about themselves, she went into fashion merchandizing, and later owned a spa. After the birth of her second child, Evelyn had gained a lot of weight and created an online store for plus-sized women’s and girl’s clothing. She then talks about her decision to lose weight with the help of a surgical procedure. Over the last eight years, Evelyn has worked as a commercial, residential and investment real estate broker.
