Humans are capable of great things. We just need to unlock the power of our hearts and our minds and focus on what we want. If you’re wondering “How to be my best self?,” you’re already steps ahead of everyone who isn’t trying. It’s time to commit to the journey and become your best self. 

In this episode, Yves Doucet and I dive deep into living a life of authenticity and meaning. He shares many practical tools that can help us become our best self. 

A few key topics include:

• Shifting from the pursuit of more to the pursuit of meaning 
• How to become the master instead of being the victim 
• The mindset of innovation and how to break through your creative limitations
• How to open the door of possibilities and live your most authentic life
• Who will thrive in the future of work 

I hope you receive as much value from this conversation as I did.

When you meet certain people in your life, it’s not always clear what role they will play. 

My guests Matt Thompson and Bradley Daye  are two of those people. We met over a decade ago playing football at Mount Allison University. We’ve all gone through some massive shifts over those years and throughout that time we have only grown more aligned in how we want to show up in the world. They have become lifelong brothers and will forever inspire me to be a better human. 

In this episode we discuss:

• Purpose driven business/organizations
• Creating spaces where people can thrive
• The importance of leading by example
• What true masculine leadership looks like 

And so much more! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Are you willing to risk being considered crazy to become who you actually are? 

Andre Boulard has visited some dark places and has emerged on the other side with some amazing lessons. He’s learned to let go of what others expect him to be and is more authentically himself than ever. With everything he does, it is clear he does it from the heart and wants to share his unique gifts with the world. Being of service is what keeps him going! 

A few key topics we discuss include:

• Tapping into creative expression as a means of overcoming depression and suicidal thoughts
• Finding a balance between belonging and authentic self-expression
• The value of healthy relationships and supportive community
• Being of service as a means of healing

I hope you enjoy!

There are people in our lives who really light us up and offer us a sense of deep connection and inspiration. Katlin Doyle is one of those humans for me. 

Ever since meeting her, I have been so moved by how she shows up. She is truly a devotee of the sacred, of the living cycles of life, and of the beauty in all. Katlin has a special ability of weaving her unique gifts into authentic, heart-opening experiences for humans, from cacao ceremonies, women's circles, ecstatic dance events, musical performances, and so much more. 

A few key topics from this episode include:

• Following the path of our own heart and living an authentic life
• Learning to listen to and trust the whisper, even amongst the noise
• Navigating conflict in a healthy, open-hearted, and constructive way
• Healing the inner child and tapping into the wisdom of our ancestors

There’s tons of juicy nuggets of wisdom in this conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What are your thoughts on the value of recreation and leisure and their impact on human development? 

In this episode I chat with Moni Lowen, the Executive Director with Recreation Opportunities for Children (ROC) Eastman. She has several decades experience reducing barriers to recreation opportunities for children. Moni is helping children have a chance to experience the benefits of meaningful recreation and, in doing so, foster happier lives and healthier communities. 

A few key topics include:

• The value of recreation and leisure in life quality
• The barriers to access of recreation and leisure
• Treating the root rather than the symptom - getting off the endless treadmill of sickness and mental health
• How to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue in care-giving jobs (like social worker, teacher, etc.)

I hope you enjoy!

Do you ever feel helplessly caught up in the rat race? Do you ever wonder how you can get off the fast-paced treadmill? 

If so, this conversation is a MUST listen. My guest, Macy Miller, designed and built her family’s tiny home in 2011. Her now iconic tiny house has been featured in Time and Dwell Magazine. She’s influenced countless tiny house enthusiasts around the world. 

In this episode we dive deep into:

• Tiny home living (~200 sq ft) with husband, two children, two cats and a dog! 
• Her family’s homeschooling journey; an honest exploration of a counter cultural movement
• Amazing insights on navigating technology use with children
• The importance of decentralization in empowering community

I learned so much from this episode and left feeling super inspired. I’m already planning to do part 2 with her to learn more about her family’s inspiring lifestyle. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
