What makes a man leave a 20-year career in the Canadian federal government to start over in Mexico? In this episode, Dionysus sits down with Ogi Vukos, a former public servant turned real estate developer, who now helps Canadians, Americans, and Europeans buy property in Mexico — the right way.

From his early days investing in Ottawa duplexes to living in a gated community in Mérida, Ogi shares how real estate became the key that unlocked his dream life: more time, less stress, and a lifestyle most only see on vacation.

This isn’t a retirement fantasy — it’s a calculated reinvention. You’ll hear:

• The myth-busting truth about living and investing in Mexico
• How real estate funded his exit from the 9–5 grind
• Why land is the smartest play in emerging markets
• What Canadians don’t know about Mexico’s legal protections
• And the mindset shift that helped him finally slow down — and live

If you’ve ever dreamed of a life beyond the border, this episode is your blueprint.

Jethro Constant shares his journey as the owner of Constance Care Physiotherapy and explains why mobile physiotherapy services are revolutionizing patient care by meeting people where they are.

• Movement is medicine – physiotherapy should focus on getting people moving, not just applying machines and passive treatments
• The profession originated during World Wars to help injured soldiers regain mobility without fancy equipment
• Mobile physiotherapy offers flexibility for busy professionals and those unable to travel to clinics
• Communication between patient and physiotherapist is crucial for successful treatment outcomes
• "Play chess, not checkers" with your health by thinking long-term about mobility and movement
• Adaptive bodywork techniques can provide faster results than conventional approaches
• Deep squatting is one of the most beneficial movements for maintaining joint health
• Avoid overprescribing exercises – focus on a few effective movements rather than overwhelming patients
• Western societies often undervalue mobility compared to other cultures around the world
• Business ownership teaches valuable lessons about time management and unexpected expenses

Ever wonder about the highs and lows behind the glitz of a pro athlete's life? That's exactly what we're unpacking with Warren Ward, whose journey from childhood dreams to international courts is nothing short of a Hollywood script. Join us as we get up close and personal with the basketball phenomenon, learning how the echoes of sibling rivalry and the influence of Tracy McGrady fueled his fiery ambition. Ward doesn't hold back as he shares his battles with labels, the grit behind being inducted into the Ottawa U men's basketball Hall of Fame, and how his analytical mind now dissects games not just on the court, but as a broadcaster and podcaster.

The conversation takes a globe-trotting spin when we explore the relentless expectations in overseas basketball. Here, consistency isn't just key, it's everything, with weekly performances trumping practice court prowess. Ward opens up about the pride and pressure of representing Canada on the national stage, and how these experiences paved the road to his shift behind the microphone. His story is a candid testament to navigating life's unpredictable avenues, embracing the luck and opportunities that come your way, and the realization that the transition from the hardwood to the broadcasting booth is filled with transformative discovery.

But it's not just about basketball or broadcasting; it's the blueprint for life after the game. We dive into Warren's new podcast 'You Only Die Twice,' touching on the metaphorical rebirth athletes undergo upon retirement. He gets real about the challenges they face, from mastering business savviness to hiring staff, emphasizing the importance of translating on-court discipline to boardroom finesse. Warren's journey from sneakers to chess is an inspiring reminder of the resilience and versatility that defines not just great athletes, but extraordinary individuals. Tune in for an episode that's as much about the spirit of the game as it is the game of life.
