    Shawn Kanungo: AI, Edmonton Roots & Spillin' some TEA

    What happens when two curious media hosts sit down with one of the world’s leading voices in AI and innovation and then the conversation goes way deeper than expected? This week on Off Air Talks, we’re joined by Edmonton’s own Shawn Kanungo — global AI and innovation keynote speaker, consultant, and one of the most in-demand voices on the future of work. He’s fresh off booking one of his biggest keynote stages yet, and he walks us through how he built a career speaking around the world, starting in Edmonton. We dive into why AI isn’t something to fear but something to understand, how Shawn carved out his path as a global keynote speaker while managing marriage, kids, and traveling most of the year. We also talk about why Edmonton continues to shape all of us, no matter how far we go. But it doesn’t stop there…Somewhere between innovation and inspiration… we spill a little tea. ☕️ Shawn flips the script and gets us to open up about our careers, dating, long-term relationships, the future of this podcast, and where Off Air Talks could really go next. We also share how all three of us first connected inside Good Space at the Mercer Building — a coworking hub that’s quietly become a launching pad for big ideas in this city. This episode is about ambition, technology, relationships, growth and loving the city that raised you while building something bigger than yourself.

    Brett Kissel: New Music, New Chapter & Nashville

    Country musician Brett Kissel is Off Air with Ciara and Lisa and this one’s a gem. Brett joins us for a wide-ranging, feel-good conversation about the life chapters that inspire his music today, how getting older has changed his perspective, and how he manages a busy career and fatherhood. He opens up about writing new music rooted in real life, embracing this next era, and finding joy in the moment. We also get into some hilarious stories from the road, including partying with Nelly the rapper, plus what it’s like splitting time between Nashville and Edmonton, and why his Alberta roots still run deep. Brett shares the pride he has in his family history, his connection to the province of Alberta, and what it means to represent Alberta on a global stage. And of course, we wrap things up talking tour life and what fans can expect as he gets ready for his upcoming run with Lee Brice. _______________________________________________________________ Ciara and Lisa's hair brought to you by Below Hair Studio Studio furniture provided by The Staging Place Episode edited by Grailed Media

    Ciara & Lisa: Oilers Summit, Olympics & Full Moon

    Episode 16 is brought to you by: C.J. Campbell Insurance. It’s just us and we’re calling it the silver lining episode. Ciara and Lisa sit down to unpack one hell of a week: the stress, the curveballs, the emotional highs and lows and how we still managed to get through it together. It’s real, unfiltered, and a reminder that even when things feel overwhelming, perspective (and a little humour) goes a long way. We also catch up on what we’ve been up to around the city, from attending the Edmonton Oilers Oil Country Influencer Summit, to supporting an Alzheimer’s fundraiser where both reconnected with alumni legends who share a meaningful personal connection to Ciara's mom (haha). We dive into current events, pop culture, and everything buzzing right now — including Justin Bieber’s performance, the Olympics, the full moon energy, and some exciting things coming up that we can’t wait to share. __________________________________________________________________________ Ciara and Lisa's hair brought to you by Below Hair Studio Studio furniture provided by The Staging Place Episode edited by Grailed Media

    Gene & Karen Principe: Power, Puns & Partnership

    Legendary Oilers broadcaster Gene Principe, the undisputed king of puns, and his wife Karen Principe, a woman of many layers and long-time city councillor, join us for a candid, charming, and surprisingly fun conversation about life, love, and partnership in the public eye.   We talk about how they met, what’s kept their relationship strong over the years, and how they continue to support one another and volunteer in the community while each pursuing demanding, high-profile careers. From Gene’s quick wit and legendary wordplay to Karen’s thoughtful, grounded approach to leadership, the chemistry between them is undeniable.   They open up about balancing city politics and sports broadcasting at home, talking shop as a couple, raising their family of three, and how mutual respect, church, humour, and a passion to help others has shaped both their relationship and their individual success. We also get into a memorable (and glamorous) photo shoot they did together, a few fun behind-the-scenes stories, and yes, we even talk about Gene’s iconic hair. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ciara and Lisa's hair brought to you by Below Hair Studio Studio furniture provided by The Staging Place Episode edited by Grailed Media
