Frontliners Johnny Connell

John revisits a conversation from March 2020 (pre-covid lockdowns) with Jan LaPierre. Jan is the founder and CEO of A for Adventure, a small business promoting adventure, nature and community development. He is a best selling author, contributor to the CBC, and renowned speaker. John & Jan discuss lessons in leadership, regional economic development and their shared passion of all things adventure.

John is joined by highly entertaining entrepreneur Michaud Garneau. Michaud is the Founder and lead facilitator of Weird Is Nrml, where he helps people and companies 'do people-y things better'. He sits down with John and shares his trials and tribulations on his path to becoming an in-demand coach and facilitator, and a leading influencer on LinkedIn. 

Podcast host, digital marketer, and blogger Stewart Hillhouse joins John to kickoff a new season of Frontliners. The two discuss levelling up, skills development, systems improvements, consistency, and changes in media and technology.

Introducing Frontliners. Join host John Connell on the Frontliners podcast and we will speak with people living life on the frontlines; the people who we respect, admire, and cheer for. My aim for this show is to provide wisdom and actionable insights that help you live deeper, bigger, and bolder lives.
