Olivia Rose joined us on Future Prospects earlier in 2020. 

Olivia was one of the first guests on our digital version of the show, she just turned 19 when we recorded and is a student at Ottawa University. Olivia returned home from university in March 2020 due to the pandemic and the countrywide shutdown - we spoke not long after this.

From her personal experiences, her health, and her education, Olivia's perspective on life and the world was put into sharp focus during this pandemic. These lessons are so deeply valuable - from self-acceptance to knowing who has value in your world.

Emma Reynolds is a rising star in Ontario. Only in high school, she has already written, recorded, and release her first album! 

Emma joins me on the show to discuss her music, her values, and the importance of hard work. Yes, this young woman is clearly talented, but as Emma highlights in this interview, it takes more than talent - you have to work HARD. You have to practice and put in the time. Simply saying that someone is "talented" ignores the hours and investment that has been put in.

Emma is truly inspirational, and she will go far with her music career. Please enjoy this music filled episode, it is full of hope and joy!

Italian psychologist, Fabio Arditi, and his wife, Luigina, were guests of Future Prospects earlier this year in 2020. They were some of the first guests we had on our digital version of the show, and called us remotely from their home in Italy.

During 2020, they were one of the hardest hit countries at the start of the lockdowns. The news displayed tragic imagery and horrifying numbers as the case count increased daily. The Arditi's join Future Prospects to discuss their personal experiences, their thoughts on what was happening around them, and their values during this time. Fabio Arditi discusses the events of 2020 from his perspective as a psychologists, and it makes for some truly fascinating conversations.

When we remember that the world has been impacted by this pandemic, we remember that we are not the only ones living through these challenges. There are other countries, regions, and cities that are navigating tragedy and heartache beyond our comprehension. Hearing the Arditi's story and insight really brings us closer together, and helps us appreciate that this is a global issue that has affected us all.

Sweat Duet are a team of young, inspirational entrepreneurs. During the earlier stages of 2020 when we were all at home, Sweat Duet was founded. The idea was to create a way for young people to exercise and still connect socially. Much of the exercise teens get involves their social circles - sports, walking, dancing. The shut down and distancing meant many young people found it difficult to feel motivated and exercise. The creators of Sweat Duet aimed to bridge this gap and connect teenagers to encourage them to get outside and get moving!
