I'm the host and executive producer of the I Love Kelowna Podcast. This episode is Karen Humes' interview with me, which took place on August 28, 2018. Here are just some of the topics we covered:
– Becoming a father for the first time and how it completely changed my life in unexpected ways;
– What I've learned about overcoming adversity and trying to be a good dad to my two daughters in the face of tremendous difficulty;
– Losing my younger brother to a heroin overdose;
– What it was like to live through a Category 5 hurricane. Learning property management, property insurance, construction and general contracting. Rebuilding the hurricane-damaged property with great success, then losing all my money again, the second time being much worse than the first time;
– Learning to feel gratitude for the one remaining asset I had - my car - and starting the Mr. Dispatcher business while I studied for my real estate license throughout 2012. Becoming a time-record newspaper delivery boy … at the age of 43;
– How I went from being shy and introverted and uncomfortable speaking to people, to serendipitously landing a radio job in the Cayman Islands with two of the greatest voices I've ever heard on radio: Searlina D. Bodden and Alexi Kapetaneas . I became a confident radio host and podcaster, and then later became more afraid of speaking than ever before. More recently, why I became determined to overcome my fears and be a speaker and podcaster once again;
– Why I love the city of Kelowna so much, and the reason for this podcast.
