Say Something Funny!!!

Not many Canadian know what it’s like to have a song blow up.  Blow up is a good thing in music terms. :)  With 35 millions streams on Spotify - Alx Veliz’ breakout track ‘Dancing Kizomba’ changed everything for him.  Well sort of.   The Canadian label he was signed to was so surprised with his success, they didn’t know what to do.  So guess WHAT they did?  Nothing.  Why?   They didn’t know which box to fit him in.  Honestly. Major success has a way of challenging you, everyone around you, and even challenging the industry you sacrificed everything for to not just accept you, but to celebrate you.  But what do you do when you live in a city known for the toughest fans to win over?  You keep going.  You keep creating.  You keep sharing your gift.  And that’s what Alx is doing. Alx’ fusion of sound, sensibility and serrrrrrrrrrrious talent has him poised to take his ‘World Music’ sound to where it belongs - the world.   Ladies and Gentlemen - Alx Veliz. ?

Jim Bremner is no stranger to threats.  With over 30 years experience in law enforcement - including uniform patrol, emergency response tactical unit as Special Weapons Team leader, and a member and trainer of the bomb squad, Jim had no idea his biggest challenge would come off the job - suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D). Drawing from his own life experience, Jim has co-authored ‘Crack in the Armour: a police officer’s guide to surviving post traumatic stress disorder’, a self-help guide written to assist first responders in understanding the effects of work-related critical incident stress. In this episode, Jim also shares tips on how to survive an Active Shooter/Attacker incident, understanding P.T.S.D further, and insight on how someone can help a loved one, friend or colleague, and EVEN THEMSELVES - to no longer suffer in silence.

#41 Never Be A Victim

Embrace change!!! With the pandemic wearing many people down, isn’t adjusting to lockdown life enough? Understandable you may be tired. You may be fed up. You may even be depressed, struggling to have any hope that life will return to normal, that YOUR life will one day be full of happiness, full of house guests, full of HUGS… You may have lost your job. Lost your livelihood. Lost your family time. Lost your friendships. Lost your hope. Do you just give up? Like the weather - there are some things you do not control in your life. Yes - just some. Do you run and hide from the rain like it’s acidic and going to kill you? Do you see snow and hibernate? Does the cold, or the heat, or the wind, or the still air prevent you from LIVING? Kevin Barton (Creative Strategist to some household name music artists and worldwide brands) shares professional insight on the importance of PIVOTING. Pivoting means you plant your feet, you change your direction, you prepare your next move, and you explode forward - perhaps in a way you NEVER considered. Ladies and Gentlemen….Kevin Barton! ?

#40 PIVOTING PROFESSIONALLY

Imagine being in a pandemic. (Hello!) Imagine being a politician - in a pandemic. Imagine your political party implements a lockdown. One of the longest - worldwide. Now imagine deep down in your heart you believe your political party is not making the best decisions and is in desperate need to make changes, changes that require the truth being told. Imagine you write a letter to your political leader and the press in hopes to bring change. Now imagine, you get fired by text message. Imagine being ousted by your political party and even vilanized because you asked questions that challenged our ‘new normal’. What would happen next? No more need to imagine. This is exactly what happened to Roman Baber. Tune in to hear his story.

#31 The Power of Kindness

In these clips, Joel Gerson reminds us that we can either make excuses or focus on solutions. From the statement, “the only way out is through” to complaining about the cold is an indication of weakness, it’s important for us to remember that no matter the obstacle, we still have choice. The right choices free us from a victim mentality and equip us with the skills necessary to come out victorious. This is what Joel did and this is what he teaches. Ladies and gentlemen, Joel Gerson.
