Chatter that Matters

Cameron Bailey is a film 'maker. He rocks a tuxedo-like Daniel Craig in a Bond Film, a boardroom with vision and purpose, and society and culture with openness and understanding. As the Toronto International Film Festival CEO, one of the most important and publicly attended festivals globally, Cameron Bailey leads their mission to transform the way people see the world through film.

Cameron Bailey has a reputation for premiering films that become Oscar Winners. Slum Dog Millionaire could have been headed straight to DVD, but after the audience's reaction at TIFF, it had a full cinema release and went on to win eight Oscars, seven BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globes.

Born in London, his early childhood in Barbados, and today a Canadian, Cameron is a world citizen. He shares his life's story; a journey propelled through his love of stories and searching the world to find movies that matter.

'A heart-wrenching to a heartwarming story that proves that regardless of circumstances, you can have a better life if people believe in you and teach you to believe in yourself.'

Edward Henry and his siblings wanted and deserved what every child should have. A happy and stable home. Instead, they had a raging alcoholic for a father, and when Edward was seven, his mother brought a new man into their world. He was physically abusive and incapable of holding a job. Edward and his siblings moved 23 times, including at one point finding themselves at the Community Kensington Homeless Shelter. At age eleven, his Mom dropped her children off at their aunt's house, saying she would run errands. They didn't hear from her for six months.

Edward and his brothers moved back with his father and inherited all the pain and trauma that comes with living with a parent who is a severe alcoholic. A friend of his father sexually abused Edward. This abuse and his life unleashed a rage in Edward, and he fed it with alcohol leading to three DUI's, several injuries and a severe car crash.

Edward met three people who changed his life by seeing him as a human and believing in him.

The first was Glen Rankin, who promoted his artistic side and encouraged him to try sales. The second was Gary Leibovitz, who became a father figure and taught him essential life and business skills. The third, is the love of his life, his wife.

At age 23, Edward stopped drinking and discovered he had a talent for sales. He put his life together, fell in love, and today is a wonderful husband and father and a successful entrepreneur. His business, Edward Henry and Co (EHCO), is a full-service professional sales training and business development company.

Richard Clune has been playing professional hockey for sixteen years. He skates like the wind and has the body strength to hit like a locomotive. Today Richard Clune, whose nickname is Dickie, is the Captain of the Toronto Marlies, the AHL affiliate team of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sixteen years playing professional hockey is a feat, given the average tenure of an NHL player is 4.5 years, but what makes Richard's story even more remarkable is that Hockey Scouts thought he was too small to play the role of the Agitator, and Mental Illness that manifested itself into substance addiction took over his life. So how did Richard overcome both? His attitude and approach to life. I have known Richard Clune all his life, and I can tell you that he has the heart of a lion, a work ethic that few can match, and the bravery to reach out for help when he needed to. In this raw and moving episode of Chatter that Matters, Richard Clune takes you from his earliest playing days to how he changed his game to make it to the NHL. Richard talks about when his dream was first realized when he was first called up to the NHL and the LA Kings, when all his hard work was being rewarded, his mental state was such that it was the last thing he wanted. Richard chose self-destruction over his skates. Drinking and drugs almost derailed his career and his life. Richard also talks about what it takes to go and remain sober, and in doing so how he fell in love with hockey and life again. Richard has played for the Nashville Predators and the Toronto Maple Leafs and today, for the Marlies, he cherishes his role as a Team Captain and role model to the next generation. And when he does hang up his skates, where will his heart, work ethic and positive attitude take Richard 'Dickie' Clune. You will have to listen to find out.

Imagine walking into a heavily armed Hells Angels compound as an informer, and you are wearing a wire. If discovered, these steps will be your last. If successful, your actions will be paramount in trying 'Nasty' Neil Smith, a dangerous and fully patched Hells Angel, for murder. How did you end up there? Paul Derry shares the story of his life as a career criminal and informant, what it is like to live as a ghost inside a witness protection program and why crime doesn't pay. Battling throat cancer and chasing redemption, Paul has come out of Witness Protection, knowing that he is a Hells Angels target. Paul is a successful author consultant and works with not-for-profits to educate and prevent human trafficking and drug trafficking. In 2010 Paul received a full pardon for his work with not-for-profits and he offers some powerful insights on why crime doesn't pay.

A magical story of turning impossibility into possibility. At 13, Mike Fata drops out of school to help his Mom, balloons to 300 pounds on a junk food diet and self-pity. At age 18, he says: 'I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.' On his journey to regaining his mental and physical health, Mike Fata discovers Hemp, an excellent source of essential fats. Still, it's a banned crop because of its association with cannabis. He sees this as an opportunity, and after many bureaucratic hurdles, he starts with one farm, one press and one customer at a time. He builds Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods. Twenty-one years later, he sold the business for over $500 million.

'A coming of age story about how impossibility can become a possibility through human spirit and will.'

By the time Curtis Carmichael was 11, ten people he knew died. He grew up in a Block where parents worked several jobs to survive, everyone was profiled, and crime seemed to be the only path to prosperity. Schools were at best a parking lot where students were yelled at by teachers who said they have no value. As Curtis says: 'In real life, you're seven, but where I grew up, in Block years, you're 21.'

Curtis Carmichael plans to break the cycle of poverty in marginalized communities by helping kids thrive, not just survive. . Curtis is the founder of Source Code Academy which will be Canada's first culture-focused innovation and entrepreneurship academy for Black, Indigenous and low-income children in communities like his. His intent is to tap into the ingrained entrepreneurship that exists within communities that have to get creative to survive and bridge the educational gap and digital divide. Their intent is: No Child Left Behind. His thinking and passion will inspire you, and I bet that you will vote for this exceptional young man one day.

Mark Beckles, Vice President of Social Impact and Innovation at RBC joins the show to talk about Future Launch, and other initiatives RBC is doing to support youth across Canada.

Candice Faktor is a game-changer, an attribute I admire as it involves vision, strategy, and resilience. In this episode, you will get inside the mind of someone who has positively impacted the status quo by bringing a higher level of passion and pursuit to every enterprise she has worked. You will learn how Candice creates value and, in turn, monetizes it. You will also learn about Candice's first start-up, Disco.co, and how she has set her sights on enriching and ensuring that every moment we spend in front of a screen learning is live and alive. Candice's already flourishing dream is to have each of us create a lifelong relationship with learning by creating a personal exchange between the top thought leaders, subject matter experts and creators, and all who can benefit from their knowledge and expertise. I hope that what she offers today to you and me, and to all who work in the training and field, can quickly move into the educational sector to teach our children well. Shelagh McGrogan, who an astute marketer talks about how marketing must evolve from hard hitting offers to taking on more of a role of the helper. She cites RBC's relationship with McGill University to teach Canadians financial literacy.

Let your spirits soar through the spirit of Mohamad Fakih, who sees humanity as a race to be cherished, versus defined by tribes, and confined and contested by their ethnicity, religious beliefs, language, income or sexual preference.

When I told Mohamad that I was airing the radio show on Christmas Eve, he smiled and said, 'I love Christmas.' Mohamed has spent the last two weeks working tirelessly to raise money to ensure families have a turkey dinner. That's who he is. The disadvantaged deserve to be advantaged.

Mohamed was born in Lebanon and today is a Canadian citizen. Mohamad loves this country as much as anyone I have met in my travels. He is a gifted entrepreneur who founded the restaurant chain Paramount Fine Foods. Today he gives back by using his intellectual, emotional and financial capital to help in so many ways.

If embodied, the insights and lessons Mohamed offers would lift Canadian society. They could counter the negative energy of social media that herd people into camps and fortify walls made of biases and disbelief.

And Mohamed Fakih's spirit and enthusiasm, well, we all need a lift in a year where variants and viruses have once again diminished, even denying what we all need and deserve.

And to all of you, especially those who can't get together because of COVID or circumstance. I wish there was a magic wand to wave you all together. What we all have that is magical and often tested is our human spirit. Yes, our world is upside down, and it can and will be righted with our collective positivity and possibility. Here's to better times and time together. Happy Humanity to all.

Let's chat soon,

Tony

This is a story of a woman's twenty-year battle with an eating disorder, and I even have her Mom join me on the show, as mental illness also impacts all who are close to the individual.

Bring your tears, and then tears of joy.

Riding a horse is where Laura Hearn found her peace and happiness from a world that denied her both. Bullied at school, alone more than with friends, and devasted by her parent's divorce. Laura desperately sought her Fathers' attention that waned after he remarried. What began as a single episode of throwing up bad food at an all-you-can-eat buffet spiralled into a twenty-year eating order that almost consumed Laura's life. Laura did everything she could to hide her illness, first with her University friends and then when building a successful career at the BBC. One day Laura found she was too weak to pull herself up on her horse. She had tried counselling before, but none had worked. This story is played too often within real lives, but this one has a happy ending made possible by her Mom selling all she had to send Laura to meet with and be with Carolyn Costin, who does remarkable work that helped Laura reclaim her life. Laura's Mom, Lynda, joins us on the show to give us a parents' perspective of all that happens when a child spirals into darkness. To do whatever a Parent can to bring light, but knowing from then on you will live with the fear that light might again become dark. Please share with all who are struggling with their mental health and all the friends and family impacted by their struggles and pain.

If you know a youth struggling with mental health, this is a link including the application process for RBC's Youth Mental Well Being Project: https://www.rbc.com/community-social-impact/apply-for-funding/youth-mental-wellbeing-guidelines.html

You could argue that the internet matters to most, but to Avi Arya, it mattered most. As a teenager growing up in Delhi, India, Avi had two dreams. To race cars and to then go on to Oxford University. Both crashed when his Dad was in danger of losing their family business, a small hotel and Avi had to step in to help. An international tourist who stayed longer and paid more for the room was where Avi saw an opportunity; how could a small hotel market to potential tourists worldwide?

In the internet's earliest days, when access required a dial-up and small fortune, Avi took his first clicks towards marketing his family's hotel. His learning not only saved the hotel but allowed the family to acquire more, and his knowledge let him launch and build one of the biggest tourism marketing agencies in the world.

Today, Avi's home is in Vancouver, and as one of the top digital influencers in the world, he now speaks around the world on how to master social media and the internet.

And how does Avi introduce himself at the beginning of every talk, and often with the audience chanting in unison: I'm a father of two girls and six dogs, a streetcar racer turned hotelier turned Social Media Influencer.

In this episode, with Avi's wonderful personality roaring through, you will hear about his incredible journey, from clicks to riches, his lessons in life that we can all benefit from, and his latest thinking on how you can grow your online presence through micro-videos.

Shelagh McGrogan, who runs Content Marketing for RBC joins the show to talk about why content is key to getting the attention you deserve.
