Tune in for a glimpse of the hockey lifestyle in Russia, and learn what his parents had to do to help him pursue a better life growing up in Montreal.

Even though he's still playing in Russia, he's already starting on his post-playing career, starting a goalie school in Montreal called Ilia Ejov Goalie Development - https://www.facebook.com/iliaejovgoaliedevelopment/, teaching out of the high-end Hockey Etcetera facility (http://hockeyetcetera.com/).

Christian d'Auteuil is an inspirational father of two children who have special needs, and it became clear within a minute of speaking with him that he's a special guy. He's also the Director General of Ultimate Montreal, the city's largest ultimate frisbee organization. Christian provides some very personal insights into what parents of special needs children go through, and he includes some excellent resources in the show notes.

Very grateful to have him as a guest and just to meet him in general.

Greg Kelley is a Member of the National Assembly representing the Liberal Party of Quebec. He followed his father's footsteps into politics, and is doing a great job in his own right (in our humble opinion). No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, you'll appreciate Greg's down-to-earth style and his commitment to having a real impact.

The guys have a great podcast, Scuderia F1, that you can find at:
