She shares her perspective on putting yourself in a vulnerable position through fitness competitions and the grit, perseverance and toughness required to push through to the finish line. Putting yourself out there to compete against other resilient athletes comes with a risk of failure, which forces many to stay in their comfort zone. But not Katherine. This episode will inspire you to sharpen your sword, go to battle and focus on short and long-term goals that will discipline you and provide you freedom.

Not everyone sees an intense physical challenge and goes, “Hell yea!” but Katherine does. The discipline required can often look like an obsession to an outsider, but it’s what is needed to push beyond your limitations and really grow. Katherine also touches on the isolation and loneliness that can come from tackling major challenges and how she treats relationships as a means to help one another improve. As someone with immense self-confidence, peer pressure has never been an issue for Katherine - she only competes against herself, not the opinions of strangers. If you want to get inspired and kick-start your next growth phase in life, this episode will inspire you to do just that.

You get Aaron Volpatti, a true inspiration, performance coach, keynote speaker, and former NHL player. Despite the odds stacked against him, Aaron never lost his drive and determination to succeed. Through the power of visualization and his unwavering commitment to making choices regardless of his circumstances, he not only earned a scholarship to Brown University but also achieved the ultimate goal of being drafted into the NHL.


Today, Aaron uses his experience and expertise to help others tap into their full potential, empowering them to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams. His powerful story is a reminder that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Let Aaron guide you to unlock your true potential and live your best life.


Aaron was aware of his exceptional on-ice skills, particularly in enforcing, but he saw hockey as a means to an end rather than his ultimate goal. While studying pre-med at Brown University, a hockey coach suggested that he pursue a professional career. After three years of recovering from extensive injuries, he decided to give it a shot, knowing that going pro wouldn’t be nearly as challenging as what he had already been through. He utilized cinematic mind mapping, a visualization technique, to chart a detailed path toward his objectives.

Aaron will demonstrate how our minds are the most potent tool we possess to create a life that others can only dream of. Tune in to hear his wildly optimistic perspective on adversity and feel empowered to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.

For Peter, there is no difference -  he’s both. On top of that, he's also an Executive Coach and a National Host/Broadcast. What ties all of these together? His enormous passion to awaken the light in others and to be a part of their journeys towards success.


You simply must listen to Peter's story, one that can only be appreciated with his enthusiasm and zest for life. He will inspire you to follow your passions and never limit your potential, and his refreshing energy will be music to your ears.

Have you ever cracked a joke and had someone say, "You should be a comedian"? Well, Andrew had a friend like that, and that’s where his journey begins - on a dare at a Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club back in 1997. From there, he worked hard to master his craft and make his way to the coveted headliner slot. Now an accomplished comedian, Andrew is also a sketch writer and performer, both on stage and the silver screen. 


Comedy is often seen as a gift that comes naturally, but as Andrew will share, it’s far more work than play. His story will inspire you to keep hustling when it comes to your passions and to ignore the hecklers you face along the way.

Join me as I chat with Wes Nelson, Former, President and Co-Founder of CEL (Calgary eSports League)

Wes takes on his journey towards a rising industry that combines competitive gaming with a live audience - eSports. Always seeing himself as a casual gamer, Wes saw an opportunity while working at SPARK to fill large, unused space for a night of gaming. After many unsuccessful attempts to get the powers that be on board, he decided to host the event himself. So, on a Tuesday night in January 2019, the event was a go and Wes would have been happy if 100 people showed. Then, 500 people showed up. That successful night led to him co-founding CEL, and they are still going strong today and redefining the eSports culture in Calgary

Wes' persistence to run with his idea and have it pay off just might inspire you to keep pushing your own ideas further. Because you never know…

It could be bigger than you think.

Will’s career began in health and fitness and led him to a world of tasty goodness that is Bar Von Der Fels, a wine bar and restaurant here in Calgary. 


It all started when Will was running a smoothie bar and found an interest in wine. But once that interest turned into his passion, everything changed. He sold the smoothie bar, moved to Calgary, and opened Bar Von Der Fels. Still going strong since 2016, Will and the Bar Von Der Fels team offer up locally sourced food and a wine experience that replaces intimidation with education.

It may come as a surprise for a guy who works in IT, but Shawn’s journey begins with a car accident. An accident in which Shawn was the victim and not at fault, leaving him in the hospital for five days and in care for a year. It was an accident that had a severe impact on his life, but one that also changed his entire perspective. No one successful ever had an easy path, and in order to find his own success, he needed to follow his passions like there was no tomorrow. So, at 26 years old, he founded TWT Group. Eight years later, TWT Group has been acquired by Fully Managed, with Shawn taking the role of Regional VP, as he and his team continue to empower growing businesses in Alberta by making IT easy instead of infuriating.


Shawn's story of resilience will inspire you to find the silver linings in the roadblocks you face and to seize any opportunity to work and live by your passions.  For Shawn, it’s counteractive to think you have all the time in the world.


The time to follow your passion is now.

Carlene is one of my favourite people -- she’s an innovative leader who cares deeply for her community, and for the people in her life. It’s simply a character trait that has been with her since day one.

Carlene shares her journey, tracing it from the shores of PEI where she was the youngest in a family of seven. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when your deep love for others is at the heart of everything you do.
