    Canadian Dad Podcast: Ep. 13 – Canadian Olympic Gymnast, Ellie Black

    Today I chatted with Canadian Olympic gymnast, Ellie Black, about her journey through gymnastics, which has led her to appear in 2 Olympic games so far.  We talked about her youth as she provided some excellent advice for all the young gymnasts out there and even took the time to answer a few questions from the gymnasts here at Kanata Gymnosphere.  We also had a chance to discuss her new line of Ellie leotards from Jagwear of Canada and how important it is for kids to have string Canadian role models to look up to.  Ellie is an absolutely wonderful person and you can tell that she is grateful for everything that has come her way. She is quick to give back to the kids and we are lucky to have her as an ambassador for our young athletes.  I hope you enjoy the show!!

    Canadian Dad Podcast – Ep. 10 – Parenting Writer, Mike Reynolds

    Today on the podcast I welcome Huffington Post contributor, children's author and Puzzling Posts blogger, Mike Reynolds. We took some time to discuss the different standards between men and women in sport, specifically speaking about Eugenie Bouchard and the Women's World Cup of Soccer/Football. This being Bell Let's Talk day, we also get into a discussion about mental illness and share our personal stories. I believe that the stigma is slowly lifting and will only continue to fade as more people take a stand. The more we talk, the more we help. As always, if you enjoyed the show, please take a minute to visit iTunes and leave a rating and review. That is how you get the show out to the world and I would be forever grateful! Have a great day!

    Canadian Dad Podcast – Ep. 9 - John-Angus MacDonald from The Trews

    I had the very cool opportunity to chat with John-Angus MacDonald, who is the guitarist for Canadian rock band, The Trews. John-Angus is a new father and I was curious to hear how his rock star life had changed after his son's birth.  Before we talked father, John-Angus was gracious enough to answer a bunch of my rock and roll questions. I've always been fascinated by rock stars and everything that goes on behind the scenes in the rock world. John-Angus shares his mindset before and after a show and talks about The Trews' new self-titled album.  One of my favourite parts of the interview is when J-A talks about how they treat each new album as if they are re-applying for their jobs. I also get the back story behind the band's name and how they started out as a band named, Trouser.  We close out the interview by talking about fatherhood and John-Angus shares his hopes for himself as a father and talks about whether he'll encourage his children to pursue a musical career. I had a blast talking music and fatherhood with John-Angus MacDonald and highly recommend their new album to anyone who loves rock and roll!  For more info on The Trews, their tour and their music, you can visit www.thetrewsmusic.com.

    Canadian Dad Podcast – Ep. 8 - Canadian Children's Recording Artists, Bobs and LoLo

    I was so excited to have the opportunity to speak to Canadian children's recording artists, Bobs and LoLo. My kids have been huge B&L fans for a long time and I still get their songs stuck in my head all the time.  In this episode we talk a lot about Bobs & LoLo's new Christmas album, Wave Your Antlers, and the process behind the recording and filming of the album. Just as a side note, the album is really great and my kids have realy enjoyed listening to the first single "Chris Moose", mostly because at one point he "shakes his caboose", which the kids find hilarious.  We also talk about B&L's numerous Juno Nominations, what it was like meeting and sharing a stage with the likes of Fred Penner and Sharon, Lois & Bram and we also spend a few minutes comparing notes on how little we all know about using Pinterest.  It was great talking to Robyn & Lorraine and you can easily see why they are a great fit for the children's music scene in the joyful and passionnate way they discuss their music.
