The great reset or resignation, employee or life dissatisfaction, and general malaise. So many people want to make a change, try something different, but they feel it's too big of a stretch, or a dream they aren't capable of racing towards.

Andre De Grasse's dream was to play professional basketball but in his final year, the program was cancelled at his high school. On a dare from a friend, and in borrowed shoes, he signed up for a track meet. From a standing start, as he didn't know how to use the blocks, Andre took the first steps towards racing to become the fastest man in the world and a medal winner in every Olympic competition he has entered.

Not everyone will run as fast and as far as Andre De Grasse, or stand on a podium draped in Olympic Gold. However, most can learn from how Andre goes after his dreams on and off the track, with humility, grace, will and resilience.

If you are feeling stuck on your starter blocks, or just starting out, or just love a fantastic story of conquest, you will enjoy this episode.

As an added value, Dr. Ryan Todd, CEO of headversity, joins the show to talk about the head and heart of a champion, and how we can all learn from their approach to life.

Mark Thomas, Director of Brand Marketing, at RBC talks about RBC's Training Ground and how it helps aspiring athletes chase their Olympic Dreams.

How do you feel? I find myself feeling anxious at times, thinking more about my state of mind and body, my immune system and my mortality. I guess it's part of growing older but it's been fuelled by this barrage of pandemic news, and after being trapped, I realize there is so much more I need and want to do.

Shaun Francis joins me on Chatter that Matters to chat about his book Eat, Move, Think, the path to a Healthier, Stronger, Happier You. His vantage point is the CEO of Medcan, a world-renowned medical facility. I also ask Shaun about the future and current state of our healthcare. Can we stay in step with an ageing population?

Shaun is also the Founder of True Patriot Love which is a foundation that supports those who serve or have served in the military, and their families. Shaun has co-led expeditions with injured soldiers and civilians to the far corners of the globe, to raise awareness and funds.

It's an episode packed with great advice on making your health a matter of choice versus chance.

Amy Deacon, one of my 'go-to' experts on mental wellness joins me to offer her perspectives on how to cope with the anxieties of keeping healthy when your world turns upside. down.

John Stackhouse says there is a way but with a price tag of $2 trillion. I ask if there is a will?

I begin my podcast by sharing my near-death experience as a child, and then my observations from interviewing others who have knocked at death's doorstep, but through some combination of intervention, science or will have fought their way back. In doing so they return with a stronger appreciation of their fragility and mortality. They treasure life and often dedicate theirs to making our planet a better place.

I then ask the essential question. Will the human race have to knock on death's doorstep to appreciate the fragility of our planet before taking the necessary steps to fight climate change?

John Stackhouse is the Senior VP of RBC, in the Office of the President. John leads RBC's research on economic, technological and social change. After a year of extensive research, RBC has published a paper titled: The $2 trillion dollar transition. Canada's road to net zero.

We discuss what this road means across six aspects of our economy. Electricity, Oil and Gas, Buildings, Transportation, Agriculture and Heavy Industry, and what will be required by Governments, the Private Sector and each of us.

Every aspect of our economy can not only travel on Canada's road to net zero, but we can also unleash an economic renaissance populated with purpose and purposeful jobs.

While others run away from bricks and mortar retail, Doug Putman races in. What began as a single fruit stand in his teens, now bears billions of dollars in sales.

Today Doug Putman owns HMV in Canada and the United Kingdom, Toys"R"Us and Babies R Us in Canada, FYE - For Your Entertainment in the USA, T. Kettle in Canada, Sunrise Records and he is only 37 years old.

This is his incredible story and within, Doug offers so many lessons and my standing ovation for believing in retail and all `the energy and jobs it provides to the community and economy.

So how did Doug accomplish so much in under 20 years?

1)His first retail venture was owning a Fruit Stand, which he quickly scaled to five. Learn the lessons he learned about cash flow, perishable fruit, and why hiring friends isn't always the answer.

2)His next big move was dropping out of first-year University as this wasn't his path. Doug joined his family's small collectible business as a warehouse helper making minimum wage.

3)Doug moved into sales, honed his ability to evaluate risk and reward, and his family let him try ideas and fail.

4)One day, an opportunity came from his top customer, Sunrise Records, and an owner that was retiring. That opportunity changed his life. Doug went from being their supplier to becoming their owner.

5)Today, Doug Putman is proving that retail is viable in Canada, United Kingdom and the USA, if you execute according to the lessons he has learned, and willingly shares.

Please share with entrepreneurs, small business owners, those who aspire to be in charge of their own destiny and all who love retail.

We all know Arlene Dickinson as the Matriarch of the Dragon's Den, a best-selling author, and an acclaimed entrepreneur and investor in Canada's new economy. But did you know at 31, Arlene was a single Mom, with only a high school education and no means of how to feed her family? Did you know that she was an immigrant, an introvert and that she grew up in a dysfunctional home and in her teens, Arlene escaped to books as she felt she never fit in?

In this episode, Arlene openly shares her story of overcoming her circumstances, including mental health challenges in her forties, to become one of our country's most respected and admired leaders. This is Arlene's remarkable and inspiring story packed with insights on persuasion, resilience and going all-in.

If you LOVE Music, Pop Culture, and you are interested in the creative process and what it takes to collaborate with some of the world's top musical artists, then turn up the volume on this episode that features some incredible music, and the stories behind the songs.

Alice Cooper calls Bob Ezrin his 'George Martin', referencing the legendary Beatles producer. Some of the biggest hits from artists like Aerosmith, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Taylor Swift, Hanoi Rocks, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel, Deep Purple, Andrea Bocelli and David Gilmour happened through Bob Ezrin's producing, arranging and songwriting.

Bob shares some incredible 'behind the notes' stories on how he collaborated with these artists. He shares the work he is most proud about, and even sings his favourite song. Bob also talks about how he is turning his talents towards tackling climate change and working with Melanie Doane on her USchool to ensure that Music remains part of the school curriculum.

From RBC X music, Jeff Lindsay returns to Chatter that Matters to talk about why great talent deserves an audience.
