    EP6: Future Nova Scotian Hollywood Star And Dogecoin Lover - Toufik Koustik

    Oh boy this was a fun one. My buddy Touf joins me in the studio as we talk about his grind to become an actor and a booming tech titan at the same time. We talk about our aspirations, how we define success, life goals, and how our goals are often criticized by the general population because "you'll never make it". And is dogecoin the future? Is insurance a scam? By the way, my apologies for the terrible audio quality. I'm an amateur.

    EP4: Jean-eva Dickie. The Life Of A Matchmaker!

    Hey kind folks. STOP asking your friends to hook you up, and start asking Jean-eva! A local matchmaker from Nova Scotia, she's built up a massive following over the past 3-4 years. In this episode we talk about her life before matchmaking, how she got into it, and how she hustled to grow and scale her business. And yeah, I know we're a career show, but we get some inside tips on self-improvement, books, and some dating secrets. P.S. Audio cuts around the 40 min mark for a second because I'm an idiot. I also couldn't stop giggling in this one, the interview was just very exciting. ENJOY!
