    Sienny Thio - Founder of The Mood Lab

    Today's episode is a pretty special one. I had the chance to sit down and chat with entrepreneur Sienny Thio. Sienny is the founder and creative director of The Mood Lab, a minimalist branding studio for bold and creative visionaries. She is the one who designed the brand identity for the You Run Like A Girl podcast, which is why I'm extra excited about having her on the show. We talk about how she went from working at the UN to running her own business, discuss what a brand is and isn't, hea...

    Dana Bookman - Founder & CEO of Canadian Girls Baseball

    My guest today is Dana Bookman, the Founder and CEO of Canadian Girls Baseball, a national non-profit development league for girls aged 4-16. A former television producer and journalist, Dana's pivot to CEO all started because she couldn't find a girls team for her young daughter. Rather than let it stop her from playing altogether, Dana decided to create what was missing. One thing led to another and the organization that Dana started in 2016 has now gone national, with chapters across...

    Sylvie Tetrault - Holistic Nutritionist & Strength Coach

    Today's episode has been a long time coming. I chat with Sylvie Tetrault, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Strength Coach, and Podcast Host based in Toronto. Hailing from the East Coast, Sylvie moved to Toronto after earning a degree in kinesiology and promptly rose up the ranks of a busy city gym. However, she couldn't quiet a long-standing desire to work with pro athletes. So she took a leap and ended up at a high performance gym owned by former Toronto Maple Leafs player, Gary Roberts. ...

    Jan Longmire - Figure Skating Costume Designer

    The Olympics always has its fair share of controversial topics and while these do shift over time, it's a pretty safe bet that every four years, people who watch figure skating will be divided over one thing: the costumes. In today's episode, I speak with Jan Longmire, a figure skating costume designer to the stars. Jan went from designing costumes for her kids skating shows and competitions to being an in-demand designer for World and Olympic champions. We chatted about how she got her start...

    Verna Volker - Ultra Marathoner & Founder of Native Women Running

    When Verna Volker laced up a pair of running shoes in 2009, her endgame wasn’t to build a huge online community for Indigenous runners or to become a global ambassador for a prominent athletic brand - she simply wanted to do something for herself and her health. But what began as one half-marathon escalated into a world-wide movement. Now an ultra marathoner, Verna (who is also a wife, mother and teacher), talks to me about how she fits running into her busy days, her online community (Native...

    Kat Bitove - Founder of xoxo sports

    In today's episode, we're talking to Kat Bitove, Founder of xoxo sports, an athlete branding, sponsorship and marketing agency. Named after an Olympian and raised in a sports-loving family, it's no surprise that Kat eventually combined her passion for athletics with expertise in business and marketing to launch her own company. Kat dives deep into the events that helped shape her childhood, shares why working at a restaurant as a teen was instrumental to helping her run her business today, an...

    Kristen and Megan Hudson - Cross-Country Skiers

    In today's episode, I chat with Special Olympian Kristen Hudson, her sister Megan, and their mother Laurel. Born with a rare genetic abnormality, Kristen overcame the odds to excel in cross country skiing after seeing Megan compete in the sport. In 2017, Kristen qualified for the World Special Olympic Games where she won gold. Listen in to hear how this family rallied together to help their kids excel at sport and in life, and how sport can be a positive influence in the lives of those with d...

    Simidele Adeagbo - Nigerian Olympian

    What would you do if you had a successful track and field career, were on target to make the national team, but came up just shy of a spot at the Olympic trials? Most people would call it quits. But most people aren't Simidele Adeagbo. In today's episode, you'll meet a Nigerian-Canadian woman who became Africa's first athlete in the sport of skeleton at the 2018 Olympics. You'll hear how Simi managed a successful career in corporate marketing while training up to 7 hours a day, what happened ...
