    Why Most Men Are Just 'Performing' Strength | Joshua Jaipaul on Breaking the Script

    Joshua Jaipaul thought success meant staying composed, achieving more, and carrying whatever life placed on his shoulders—until his body, his voice, and his life asked him to slow down. In this episode of U Thght Wrng, I sit down with Joshua Jaipaul—co-founder of Healing in Colour, speaker, and founder of Mindful Masculinity in Motion. We talk about growing up Guyanese-Canadian, the pressure of inherited ideas of masculinity, and learning how to build a life that feels aligned instead of just looking successful. Joshua opens up about leaving the corporate world, the anxiety that came with trying to live two lives, and the moment he realized he had been holding more inside than he knew. We also get into sobriety, culture, emotional literacy, and why men need spaces where they can be competitive, ambitious, and fully themselves. This is about finding your voice, protecting your energy, and realizing that breaking a cycle doesn’t mean rejecting where you come from.

    Quinton Jacobs - Stop Chasing the Clock: Quinton Jacobs on Running Through the Seasons of Life

    Quinton Jacobs thought running was about chasing finish lines—until he realized the most meaningful miles had nothing to do with pace. In this episode of U Thght Wrng, I sit down with Quinton "Q" Jacobs—community leader, co-founder of Escape and Ubuntu Collective, mentor, father, and one of the most influential voices in Canadian running culture. We talk about growing up in a single-parent household, becoming a father, navigating divorce, and how running evolved from a physical pursuit into a tool for healing, connection, and purpose. Quinton shares his philosophy of "seasons of running," why he believes community can become family, and how Ubuntu—"I am because we are"—has shaped the way he approaches life, leadership, and giving back. We also dive into the creation of Escape, building global connections through running, mentoring youth through programs like Start2Finish and Kickback, and the powerful work being done in South Africa to create opportunities for the next generation. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, fatherhood, and discovering that success isn't measured by what you achieve for yourself—but by what you leave behind for others.

    Nick Vardon - Sleep, Fatherhood, and the Outdoors: How He Built a Life That Actually Works

    Nick Vardon thought he had time to figure life out—until he got married young, became a father, and had to build everything in real time. In this episode of U Thght Wrng, I sit down with Nick Vardon—a sleep expert with nearly 20 years of experience and creator of The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck. We dive into what it actually takes to build a life early: marriage, raising a daughter, and navigating pressure without having it all figured out. We also break down why most people are completely wrong about sleep, how recovery impacts performance, and why getting off the grid in nature might be the reset you didn’t know you needed. This is about consistency, discipline, and showing up—long before you feel ready.

    Julian Ho - The Problem With Being 'Fit' (And Why It’s Killing Your Longevity)

    Julian Ho thought being “fit” meant pushing harder and outworking everyone—until his own body and health challenges forced him to redefine what performance actually means. In this episode of U Thght Wrng, I’m joined by Julian Ho—ultra-athlete, kinesiologist, and founder of Bekin Health. We go beyond the bio to discuss the identity pressure of growing up as a twin, navigating early autoimmune struggles, and his evolution from an elite Ironman into a leader in the longevity space. Julian shares how a "high-performer" mindset can sometimes lead to giving too much of yourself, and why he’s now focused on "healthspan"—ensuring our quality of life lasts as long as our years. This is a deep dive into discomfort, resilience, and the transition from outrunning the pain to finding true harmony in health and business.

    Chris Slightham - Built For the Bad Times: 60 Years of Legacy, Leadership and Choosing your hard

    In this episode of U Thght Wrng, I sit down with Chris Slightham—President, Broker of Record, and co-owner of Royal LePage Signature Realty—to explore how 60 years of family legacy taught him that real strength comes from building for the bad times, not just the good. We dive into the lessons passed down through three generations, the strategy behind growing a brokerage to over 1,600 agents across the GTA, and why true leadership requires a commitment to patience, consistency, and taking care of people first. Beyond the business, Chris opens up about the reality of work-life balance, the personal sacrifices required to build a lasting brand, and the daily routines that keep him grounded while navigating the pressures of the industry.

    In this episode of U Thght wrng, I sit down with Ryan Hinkson—the creative force behind Eat Famous, food culturist, and co-host of Design, Cook & Eat—to talk about leaving the "safe" 9-to-5 to build a life on his own terms. We dive into the fear of walking away from benefits and a pension during a pandemic, the moment his daughter changed everything, and how he's now opening doors for the next generation of BIPOC creators.
