    23 Years of Secrets, Hockey Stories & Office Chaos | The Sidebar Ep. 4

    What happens when you put someone who's been with the company for 23 years behind a microphone? You get stories that probably weren't supposed to leave the office. This week on The Sidebar, Jocelyne joins the guys for a look back at more than two decades with Rushforth Real Estate, including how the brokerage got started, the surprising history of an office that used to be a meat locker, and a Christmas party that ended with ripped shirts and a pretty impressive bruise. And that's just the beginning. The conversation takes a few turns as the group gets into Ottawa traffic, a first experience riding in a driverless car in Phoenix, Halloween candy debates, and what it's really like working behind the scenes in Ottawa real estate. Then, naturally, hockey takes over. From the electric atmosphere at the Ottawa Senators' game against Brady Tkachuk to Carter's reputation during his junior hockey days, the guys share stories about old rivalries, hockey billets, favourite NHL players and a few questionable moments on the ice. There's also a debate over who deserves the Super Bowl halftime show, some very different music tastes, and the competitive side of office team-building events. Four mics. One group chat. The Sidebar is an Ottawa-based podcast where real estate, sports, business and everyday life all end up in the same conversation. No scripts. No filters. And no guarantee anyone stays on topic. Real estate is just the starting point. Follow The Sidebar on Spotify for more conversations, stories and laughs.

    Is a Hot Dog a Sandwich? | The Sidebar Ep. 02

    Is a hot dog a sandwich? Apparently, that's a debate worth having. Episode 2 of The Sidebar kicks off with hot dogs, questionable condiment choices and some strong opinions on poutine before heading in just about every direction imaginable. This week, Greg joins the table to share his journey from accounting to photographing over 40,000 homes, along with a few stories from behind the camera. The guys also get into Ottawa's changing real estate market, why first impressions matter when selling your home, hockey, throwback jerseys, travel stories, cooking, and the great Ottawa shawarma debate. Four mics. One group chat. Plenty of opinions. No scripts. No filters. And definitely no shortage of side conversations.
