    INFECTED: A Deadly Halloween Special

    At some point, Halloween went from filling a pillowcase with candy to arguing about whether you’re too old to go trick-or-treating. 🎃 So naturally, we dressed up as zombies and talked about it. Episode 16 is a trip back through Halloween as kids, teenagers and now two guys in their 30s who are apparently still very passionate about candy. We get into the costumes we still remember, running house to house with the boys, hiding candy from our families, university Halloweens, the horror movies we were too scared to watch and the haunted houses we absolutely do not need to experience again. We also settle some important business: Is Coffee Crisp actually a top-tier chocolate bar? Are sour watermelons garbage? When are you officially too old to trick-or-treat? And somehow…Is Halloween better than Christmas? Happy Halloween from the True Potential Podcast. 🧟‍♂️⚡️

    Daylight: Stronger Through It All

    What if reaching your potential isn’t about arriving… but realizing you’re already living it? ⚡️ Episode 15 features Grace Tabar, owner of Daylight Grill, entrepreneur and mother of three. Grace never planned on running her father’s restaurant. But when life changed, she stepped in to continue his legacy. Years later, when the original Daylight Grill location was being torn down, she had another choice: Walk away… or build it all over again. She chose to build. ❤️ In this episode, we talk about entrepreneurship, motherhood, family, health, navigating hard seasons, and breaking free from societal expectations. This conversation is about choosing yourself, embracing change and realizing there’s always another chapter to create. You can be grateful for where you are while still wanting more for yourself. You can chase what’s next while appreciating what you’ve already built. Maybe living your True Potential is simply showing up as your best self as often as possible, giving yourself grace when you can't and stepping back up to see what you're capable of no matter what! 📍 Daylight Gril- 2080 Appleby Line, Burlington, ON L7L 6M6 🎙️ The True Potential PodcastYour Source for Self-Discovery⚡️

    Ashton: Music, Courage and Finding Your Flow

    What happens when you stop waiting for the perfect shot and just unload the clip? 🎤⚡️ Episode 14 of the True Potential Podcast features Toronto-based artist Ashton, aka the Saga City Slasher aka the Penthouse Playboy. We sit down with Ashton for a conversation about music, creativity, courage and what it actually takes to put yourself out into the world. Ashton takes us back to singing Chris Brown for his first girlfriend, learning production from his Father's beatboxing on the way to school, and what it was like when he first stepped on stage in front of 150 people. We talk about the resistance that shows up whenever you're about to do something meaningful. The fear of being judged. The danger of waiting until everything is perfect and how important it is to find people who allow you to be yourself. As both an artist and producer Ashton takes us behind the music, show us the intentionality behind his production and his upcoming project Penthouse Playboy as well in our upcoming vlog!

    Madden: Get ready for football throwbacks, questionable takes and lots of BEEF!

    This one is for the football fans. 🏈 Episode 13 is Connor and Dalton doing what they probably should’ve done a long time ago: dedicating an entire episode to football. We take a nostalgia trip to the legendary Madden 04–06 era and the players who defined it; we talk NFL Street, OG football memories, fantasy football and Sunday Football food debates. We talk about how football has changed, debating today’s best players, make Super Bowl and award picks, check in on our fantasy teams and introduce a brand-new segment: What’s the Beef? Basically, imagine two buddies sitting on the couch on an NFL Sunday arguing about football, except someone accidentally turned the microphones on. Welcome to MADDEN True Potential Podcast ⚡ Your Source for Self-Discovery.

    Stay Above: What does it take to stay strong, capable and healthy for life?

    What if taking care of your health wasn’t about living forever, but about being able to keep doing the things you love for as long as possible? In Episode 12 of the True Potential Podcast, Connor and Dalton sit down with KK from Stay Above Nutrition for a conversation about athletics, nutrition, longevity and building habits that can carry you through every stage of life. KK shares her journey from growing up playing sports in Dundas to becoming an NCAA Division I tennis player at Purdue, coaching university tennis, earning her MBA and eventually finding her way into the health and nutrition space with Stay Above. The conversation dives into health span vs. lifespan, maintaining muscle as we age, nutrition, supplementation, consistency and why a few big habits often make the biggest difference over time. They also unpack the science-first approach behind Stay Above Nutrition and products like Muscle 5, Restore 9 and creatine. The conversation explores why our approach to health has to evolve as we get older. Training isn't always about performing at your absolute best anymore. Sometimes it's about having the energy to play with your kids, travel, take on new challenges and keep your world as big as possible. Plus: NCAA stories, Connor continuing to wish he went D1, a creatine competition, Boston Marathon dreams and plenty of laughs along the way.

Cut back on alcohol. Started taking his health seriously. Started running. Lost 40+ pounds.
