Iggy has spent twenty years working as a leader first on sports teams, then with outdoor adventure groups and now with teams and corporations. She has worked with the four time World Champion Rose City Rollers out of Portland Oregon and helped them overcome many challenges.

Our discussion went into many aspects of leadership and how to get the best out of yourself and your team. This should apply to most everyone in either your work environment, with a team that you are involved in or even relationships that you have. We really enjoyed our conversation and we think that you will enjoy listening to it.

This was our first podcast episode of 2021.   

We broke down the final week of the NFL regular season and previewed the playoffs.  There are 14 of 32 teams that made the dance and there are a lot of intriguing matchups.  This was a crazy Covid 19 football season that has had so many ups and downs and chaos and it was miraculous that they completed the 17 week regular season.    

The NBA entered into its third week and a lot of storylines emerged and we discussed a lot of them.  There were so many interesting developments with a lot the the top end talent in the association.  We were recording the day after Steph Curry went off for 62 points in a huge statement game against Portland.  The Blazers had beat the Warriors on Christmas Day by 25 points and so Golden State got some measure of revenge.  Steph had received a lot of criticism for his play and his teams performance in the first few games of the year.  He used those comments to fuel his fire and prove that he still is the best shooter in NBA history.    

Boxing took a little spotlight over the weekend as Ryan Garcia continues to show his power and skill as he TKO'ed Luke Campbell in the 7th round. Garcia survived a second round knockdown and finished off Campbell with a brutal left hook to the body.  The great up and comer is now 21-1 in his career and had never been dropped but really took it to Campbell after.  He controlled the fight with superior hand speed and accuracy.  Campbell was no joke of an opponent as he was the 2012 Olympic Gold Medallist and has twice challenged for lightweight titles.  Boxing is having a resurgence recently with a lot of great young fighters that Jason talked about.    

This was a fun podcast and you will enjoy the conversation.

This is the second segment from our podcast conversation with Canadian boxing legend Dale Walters.

This one starts with speaking about his father Len Walters who was a Canadian boxing legend in his own right. Dale showed off pictures of his Dad that he has framed in his house. Len forged an incredible career and was 139 - 10 as an amateur and 14-4 as a pro. He won 4 BC championships, 2 National Canadian titles, the US amateur featherweight title and competed in the Olympics. He was on the undercard of the Joe Louis fight in Vancouver. Len was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. Those shoes were obviously very hard to fill for Dale but at an early age he set out to reach and even surpass his Dad's achievements. Dale was 165-12 won 3 BC championships, 5 Canadian National titles, he went to the Commonwealth and Pan American games before he went to the 1984 Olympics. Dale was included on the undercard of the Muhammad Ali fight in Vancouver against George Chuvalo because his Dad had been on the Joe Louis card years earlier. Dale has a great story of meeting "The Greatest" and also has pictures of that momentous occasion.

At the Olympics Dale won Canada's first boxing medal in 52 years as he won the bronze and did so in very dramatic fashion. The last guy to win that medal was Horace "Lefty" Gwynne in the same bantamweight division and also in Los Angeles. Gwynne was at the bout that Dale won his medal and was honoured before and after. Dale was part of arguably Canada's greatest assembled Olympic boxing team with Sean O'Sullivan, Willie Dewitt and Lennox Lewis among others. Dale initially was unhappy with winning the bronze medal but was treated like a National hero upon his return to Canada and the partying started and lasted a while. He eventually embraced his accomplishment and likes sharing great stories from his Olympic experience.

Dale talked at length of the honour of both his and his Father's induction into the BC Sports Hall of Fame as probably the biggest of his life. He invited his first ever sponsor Sev Morin who owned a night club, restaurant and banquet Hall to come to the induction ceremony and recognized him during his speech. He wanted to give payback to some those who were instrumental in helping him achieve all that he had in his career. Keep your eye out over the holidays for a couple more segments on our great chat with Dale.

This first clip of many after a lengthy conversation this one is focused on the Dale Walters vs Tony Pep fight!  We had a fantastic conversation on this latest podcast episode with a boxing legend.  Dale Walters joined us via Zoom and we had a really long chat about many topics in his life.  We want to post this in segments so it is easier to consume by watching or listening to.  This is the first post on big moments from his life story that has been a life well lived!  This first segment clip is discussing his ongoing feud with Tony Pep and ""The Brawl For It All" which was the epic fight between the two bitter rivals.  Dale has just posted his breakdown of the fight today on his facebook page and it is an incredible read. He has started to give some great first hand accounts of most of the big moments in his boxing career by regular Wednesday posts.  Give them a read it has been so great to watch and read about. Our podcast episode and the chat we have with him kind of piggy backs this and allows some different insight in video and audio form.  We suggest that you watch this and also find the fight on Youtube and check it out as it is one of the most entertaining fights in history.  It has become so legendary and you can see what Dale is talking about. 

  I think our only wish is that this fight would have happened about a year or two later in history. Dale is such a great guy and ambassador for Canada, B.C., Vancouver and Burnaby that it would have been great to see a more favorable outcome for this fan favorite.  With a few more 10 or 12 round fights Dale could have a chance to be able to handle the distance a bit better. In this instance the villian won the fight but Dale has gone on to do many great things in life.  We are all lucky that he was born and raised here and stayed here to continue to give back to his community that helped him on his journey to the top of the world.   

We suggest that you find Dale on Facebook and social media and follow his posts to see so many of his accomplishments broken down and given unprecendented insight into a very successful boxing career.  Please go to www.dalewaltersboxing.com for more details on his life and what he is up to now.

This breakdown was especially fun as the NFL is getting more intense as the season winds dfown, the NBA is back and the UFC had arguably the best card of the year.

Week 14 iof the NFL is winding down and the contenders are definitely emerging as the playoff picture is taking shape, The Chiefs and Steelers are on top of the AFC as the Bills, Titans, Browns and Colts are the second tier but not too far behind. In the NFC the Packers and the Saints are on top with the Rams, Seahawks and Bucs rounding out the elite teams in the conference. There were a lot of great games that we brokedown that you must watch to get the picture of this weekends action.

The NBA is back from the shortest offseason(71 days) in league history by many months. Preseason action got underway this weekend and had flashes of the stars but was really a way for the coaches to see the eintire expanded rosters. Enjoy watching some more preseason games as the regular season starts on December 22nd.

The UFC 256 was one of if not the best fight card of the year 2020. The main event was definitely the best flyweight battle in history as the Champion Deiveson Figueiredo defended his belt against the #1 contender Brandon Moreno in a five round war. The fight ended in a majority draw decision and should set up a rematch as soon as both fighters recover from their injuries. In the Co-main event the lightweight division featured #7 ranked Charles Oliviera who had the most impressive performance of his career in a dismantling of #3 ranked Tony Ferguson. Kevin Holland became only the 3rd fighter in modern UFC history to record 5 wins in a calendar year as he KO'ed Jacare Souza. The knockout will be on highlight reels for years and years to come as he started it on the bottom. The other impressive aspect of that is that this winning streak has been done in only 7 months when he finally got the call to the big show. Holland is fun, tough and entertaining and might even fight next week as he called out Kamzat Chimaev who was supposed to fight on next weeks card. The entire card was stacked and had so many great battles that made it a great evening as there is only one more fight card in 2020.

This was a fun weekend breakdown of sports even though we are still dealing with the pandemic.  Covid 19 is getting worse all over North America and is impacting everyones lives.  The sporting world is not immune and it affects it daily like it permeates every facet of society.    

We went into great detail of week 13 of the NFL.  There was a shocking upset of the Seattle Seahawks who were 8 and 3 heading into a battle with the New York Giants who were 4 and 7.  The G men won 17 to 12 to get their fourth straight victory and solidify their spot as top in the NFC East.  This was the first win for any NFC East team over an opponent who was over .500 on the season.  The top of the NFC West was Seattle's alone before this game and now the Rams are the front runner as they beat the Arizona Cardinals 38 to 28.  The other upset of the weekend was Cleveland beating the Tennessee Titans 41 to 35 to push their record to 9 and 3 for the firt time since 1994.  It was the Browns first four game winning streak since 2009.  There was a lot of great games and a great breakdown of the week.    

The NBA was discussed briefly as we talked about the trade of Russell Westbrook from Houston to Washington for John Wall.  It was probably a good deal for both teams especially if Wall is able to bounce back from his long term injury troubles.  We talked about the impact Covid is already having on the league as there have been 52 positive Covid tests already in the association.  It led to the Portland Trailblazers shutting down their facility after 4 positive test results happened today.    

The UFC Vegas 16 took place on Saturday and the main event was an amazing tough 5 round battle in the Middleweight division.  It was #4 ranked Jack Hermansson against #12 ranked Marvin Vettori in an all out war.  The Italian Dream Vettori had a decisive victory winning 4 of 5 rounds and getting his hand raised with a unanimous decision.  He should be ranked now in the top 5 and could be in line for another crack at the champ Israel Adesanya again after just one more convincing win.  The rest of the card was impacted as two fights were postponed because of Covid and another cancelled at the last minute.    

The combat sports continued on Saturday as the huge A T & T stadium in Arlington, Texas was host to boxing.  The main event was a fight for the WBC and IBF World Welterweight Championships between the Champ Errol Spence Jr. and Danny Garcia.  Spence stayed near the top of the best pound for pound discussion with a dominating victory that was very anticlimatic.  Spence used a lethal jab to get the seemingly easy victory.  This sets up a titanic battle with Terrence "Bud" Crawford to finally unify the best division in boxing.  Enjoy our breakdown of the card and the discussion of the future of the sport.

We had a great conversation about Football, UFC and boxing and unfortunately Covid as tons of positive tests have continued to wreak havoc.

The NFL week 12 has been getting crazy with Covid and it has led to games being postponed and teams taking the field severely undermanned. It has become a bit of a farce and the season is in jeopardy.

The UFC main event was cancelled and the main events have kept being affected by the virus.  Anthony "Lionheart" Smith won the new main event with a submission victory over Devin"Brown Bear" Clark.

Speaking of farces the legends card was a bit of one.  We really respect Mauro Ranallo, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Israel Adesanya who called the fight card.  It is just not great when two 50 something guys are headlining a fight card.  It was not something to celebrate and we hope that they won't put on to many more of these tyoe of cards.  We discussed next weeks very intriguing and excting boxing card with the Main event being Errol Spence Jr. against Danny Garcia. This is the kind of fight we want to witness and break down.

This was a really fun conversation as Jason Cameron used his quarantine time to really watch weekend sports more intently than ever!    

We spoke about the great week 11 of the NFL. There were so many close games that could have been the best weekend of the year.   

 As the NBA free agency and signing period was in full swing there was so many things to discuss.  Huge signings  were the biggest topics this week. Training camps open next week after the shortest offseason in league history.    

The UFC has set records for having an event so many weekends in a row and they continue to porduce great cards.  UFC 255 had title fights in both the mens and womens flyweight divisions.  Deiveson Figueiredo defended his belt winning in less than two minutes by guillotine choke over Alex Perez.  In the Co-main event Valentina Shevchenko got a unanimous decision victory over Jennifer Maia to retain her belt.  The rest of the card had a lot of great fights and we broke them all down.    

Enjoy,

Well this was quite the day for the Complete Sports Media team.  We welcomed an old friend into our podcast today for the first time and he became one of our favorite guests of all time.  Greg Kettner is a corporate speaker located in Walla Walla, Washington that focuses his message on trying to impliment humor into peoples lives at work.  Greg is a really special guy in the world today and he wants to make the world laugh for the numerous benefits.  He knows that laughter is good for work productivity, health and well being, and last but not least enjoyment of life! He went in pursuit of his goals and dreams by making people laugh across North America for six years in a stand up comedy career!  This eventually led to his highly sought after coporate speaking engagements that have received incredibly high praise and testimonials!     

Our host Darren Campbell has known Greg for many, many years and was able to book some time in his valuable and busy schedule to have a great conversation.   Greg is an amazing storyteller and is a very funny guy.  We especially loved the Wayne Gretzky stories that were shared between the two of them.  There was also a crazy story involving Robin Williams and the Queen that weaved between fantasy and reality that made us laugh in the studio. There were a bunch of other interesting stories that are so entertaining to watch and listen to.  This episode had many lifechanging moments that are inspiring and amazing to hear about.  

We talked a little about Walla Walla and the vineyards and a couple sporting legends that are from that community.  Drew Bledsoe former QB of the New England Patriots is running his family winery there called Doubleback.  The other guy we mentioned was Eddie "The King" Feigner a legend in the world of Mens softball. He eventually led a touring team called "The King and his Court"  and they played over ten thousand games in over 100 countries. They ended up compiling incredible records 9,743 wins, and Feigner had 141,517 strikeouts, 930 no hitters,and 238 perfect games.  They didn't have a team like the Washington Generals they actually played local select softball teams that were gunning to beat the legends.  The other incredible aspect of this team was that it was a four man "team" consisting of Eddie the pitcher and catcher a first baseman and a shortstop.

 This was such a great episode and we hope that it reinvigorates your life as much as it did to our lives. If you have a company contact Greg and book him to come in and inspire your employees you will so happy that you did!  Thank you so much Greg for sharing your stories and insight into your life!
