    Megan Dancy — better known as Coach Megs — is the head coach and manager of 416 Fitness Club in Toronto. But before she was coaching people to do hard things, she was doing one of the hardest jobs imaginable: laying off over a thousand people as an HR Business Partner in Alberta. She watched it harden her, and then it ended with her own layoff.In this episode, Megan opens up about the corporate chapter that broke her down, how CrossFit helped rebuild her identity after a divorce and a cross-country move in a pandemic, and what she's learned coaching people through physical and personal transformation. We also bust some major CrossFit myths — including why women won't get bulky, why you don't need to be fit before you start, and why the community aspect is more powerful than most people expect.If you've ever thought CrossFit wasn't for you, this episode might change your mind.Chapters:0:00 - Intro1:58 - Meet Coach Mags17:05 - Her Complicated Relationship With Fitness18:54 - How CrossFit Changed Everything27:30 - The Corporate HR Career & Laying People Off31:41 - Choosing Coaching Over Corporate for Good34:14 - What Is CrossFit & Who Is It Actually For?57:25 - Busting CrossFit Myths1:16:00 - The Coaching Moments That Made Her Cry1:25:23 - Quickfire Questions & What Making It Looks Like

    He Lost His Friends' Money, Got Rejected 7 Times, Then Built a 6-Figure Business From Paris

    He tried to flip Yeezys. Lost money. Sold hoverboards. Lost money. Pitched Gymshark stock to his friends. Lost their money too. And yet, he never stopped.In this episode, I sat down with one of my favourite thinkers, who went from serial side-hustle failures to building a 260K+ LinkedIn following, generating 200M+ impressions, and scaling his coaching company to six figures a month, all while living in Paris and working 10-hour weeks.We got into everything: what growing up watching two serial entrepreneur parents taught him about resilience, why he applied to Shopify seven times before getting in, the 3-year plan he executed to leave corporate at 28 (without ever taking a risk he couldn't survive), and the LinkedIn strategy that turned investor confidence into a $400K offer (that he turned down).He also breaks down why he wrote his own eulogy at 23, what persistence really means when you're not the most brilliant person in the room, and the moment he knew his coaching business actually worked.This one is full of gems, so don't sleep on it.

    Ftaiwo: Culinary Art, Mental Health and High School allegations

    For our maiden episode, we sit down with Funmilade Taiwo (Ftaiwo) a talented chef, product designer and mental health advocate in Toronto.  He shares his personal struggles with anxiety, stage fright, and disordered eating, emphasizing the importance of therapy, community support, and cultural practices in coping with mental health issues. His love for cooking, influenced by his father and seen as both a therapeutic activity and a cultural connection, plays a vital role in his healing journey.  We also discuss his unwavering Nigerian identity, despite living abroad. He reflects on how immigration has shaped but not diminished his cultural roots, and he gives us a unique perspective on maintaining one's heritage in a foreign land. A significant part of the interview is dedicated to mental health advocacy. With a background in psychology and experience working with autistic children in Nigeria, we talk about the important need for accessible mental health resources which led him to create a directory for therapists in Nigeria, despite his initial career path. This interview beautifully intertwines themes of identity, creativity, passion and mental health with lots of laughs.
