Changing The Narrative

Alfred Burgesson, co-lead of the Future City Builders program in Halifax, stops by to talk about the future and development of Nova Scotia. Future City Builders created a lab of 30 Nova Scotian youth to address the challenges and opportunities around housing, while developing work ready skills to improve the city. Alfred also chats about his 2 day retreat to Windhorse Farms, the constant pursuit of balance, starting his own podcast, and what it feels like to be at the centre of changing an outdated city. 

Thanks Gillette for capitalizing on social issues to create SALES but most importantly, CONVERSATION! This week Terrence is joined by Mike Tanner, Kyler Crawford for PART 1 of our GENDER WARS discussion. We attempt to define 'masculinity', the role of modelling from parents & coaches, we ask if it's okay for corporations to piggy back social issues to generate sales and is "roughhousing" really something we should stop young men from doing, posing the question: "Are boys even boys?" 

Entrepreneurship is great, until somebody fuxks you over. Listen to Terrence's story about making a mistake and getting taken advantage of by "old white men" in business. Plus, thanks to Soulja Boy and Dame Dash, we discuss what matters more: Getting all the credit or sharing the riches to make sure your whole team wins. We also talk what books we're reading, the world ending and future top secret CTN developments!

We're two weeks into 2019, wondering if the plan we made will make it into February! This week, Lauren and Terrence challenge the concept of TIME, discuss creative ways to manage our time, alternative work weeks, how age affects our concept of time and once we make a plan, how often do we go back to review and revise the plan? 

On this episode, Lauren, Duane and Terrence talk all things 2019. Did you make any New Years resolutions or are they completely useless? What are you looking forward to in the New Year and what changes in lifestyle will help you get there?

Has much changed since Viola Desmond stood for blackness back in 1946? How are we honouring her legacy and how has she helped black communities, businesses and entrepreneurs grow and develop? This week we chat with Cavell Holland and Marika Paris about the first black Queen on Canadian currency and how she's impacted the North End of Halifax and people of colour in Canada.

Should white people be able to say the 'N' word when singing rap music? Are the Kardashians "business women"? Why do we love watching Tekashi 69's life fall apart and how do you work with people you can't stand?
