Rob shares his back-story, his commitment to recovery, and how he took the phrase “I will”, from a daily mantra to one of the fastest growing charities in Canada.

As Winter moves to spring, and the first season of the Polar Retreat comes to a close, we three hosts of the Finnish Parliament sweat out a host episode. We reflect on the previous months and review our “Game-Film”, reflecting on the plays, moves, successes, and failures of our work and personal lives.

Adam is a fitness coach, a gym operator/owner, and a cross-fit competitor on the world stage. Being raised as an athlete from a young age, Adam was instilled with a “harder better faster stronger” outlook on daily life. We talk about how this “never give up, must go faster” mentality has evolved into his current mindset of understanding when to back-off and know your limits to achieve longterm goals.

Lara & Craig are both community staples in the tech/business ecosystem of Waterloo region. Their accomplishments and contributions are many and varied. Most recently they are strapping on gloves and raising funds in support of Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre and McMasters Children’s Hospital.
