Journeys with the No Schedule Man

Celebrating the first anniversary of his decision to stop drinking alcohol, Kevin talks with Kevin O'Hara of Alcohol Mastery.com, who has been an enormous positive influence on Kevin over the last couple of years. Together they discuss self-improvement, what it feels like to change, and what are some of the things to consider that either help or hurt the chances of real change occurring.

Kevin chats with David Ciccarelli, the CEO and Founder of Voices.com, an industry-leading website that connects business with professional voice talent.

Voices.com is used by radio and television stations, advertising agencies and a wide Variety of Fortune 500 companies, who rely on David and his team to be able to help them search for, audition and hire voice talent. In this conversation, you're going to hear how that all started, where the ideas came from, how David & his wife Stephanie acted upon those ideas and have evolved into where they are today.

Kevin talks with Mike McCurlie of MJM Media, a marketing company that has created thousands of audio and video commercial productions for some of Canada's best businesses over more than 35 years.

A lifelong musician, Mike's stories and experiences are certainly unique and interesting. In this conversation, Mike covers everything from his love of music to the formation and history (and a bit about the future) of MJM Media and everything in between, including an extraordinary (but true) tale of how he spent part of his life living in a treehouse!

Kevin talks with Alfredo Caxaj, the Executive and Artistic Director of Sunfest, a name that belongs both to one of the premier outdoor festivals in Canada (which takes place in London, ON every July), and a year-round world music concert series and non-profit community arts organization.

In this conversation, Alfredo reflects on how he and his family found themselves uprooted from Guatemala in the 1980's, what challenges they faced as they tried to adapt, and how he managed to follow his passion for music into what has become one of the premier world music festivals anywhere on the globe.

Kevin is joined by Jim McCormick, founder of Allstage and the classic rock band, Bender. Jim shares how the award-winning band "Bender" came to be, how he managed through a forced career change later in life and what inspired and motivated him to create something completely new with Allstage. And in a fun example of "you never know who you're going to meet," Jim recalls a chance encounter with an interesting guest, backstage at the Grey Cup several year ago.

Kevin talks with Lisa Brandt, co-anchor of "The First Thing" morning show on News Talk 1290 CJBK in London, ON, and former news anchor of 680 News in Toronto. Lisa is also the author of four books, a popular blog and a periodic column for Sun Media called "House Proud." Lisa and Kevin discuss each of those things, taking listeners inside the world of radio broadcasting and reflecting on life in a newsroom, on-air highs and lows, the process of writing books, professional development and personal discovery.

Kevin chats with Jay Doerr, a long-time top Ontario stock car driver. Kevin and Jay discuss memories of their shared time at Delaware Speedway, when Kevin went from announcer to Sales and Marketing Manager to General Manager and Jay went from Open Wheel Modified Division up to the Sportsman class and, later, what became the Late Model division. They also discuss Doerr's career, which includes 2 Ontario Sportsman Series championships, a Canadian Dwarf car championship, and multiple race wins at Delaware Speedway and many other tracks, Doerr is getting set to compete again this year in the APC Late Model Racing series

Kevin is joined by musician Chad Price. Together, they discuss how Chad first discovered and tested his talent for writing and performing, who his major influences were, reaching out to Producer Bill Bell, recording his first full-length CD, "In This Dream," his most recent single, "Honesty," the songwriting process and what's coming up for Chad in 2016 and beyond. Chad also does an acoustic rendition of a song that will be on his forthcoming new album, which he hopes to release some time later this year.

Kevin reconnects with Rose Cora Perry, who took part in Kevin's "Celebrating Hope" concert in November of 2010. Through the conversation, Rose discusses the origins, highs and lows of her first two bands (Her and Anti-Hero), the disappointment that followed their conclusions and the personal development that followed. Rose also talks about how her solo acoustic CD, "Off of the Pages" came to be and the personal and professional processes that have led her to where she is now, having put together a new band and nearing release of her latest project, "Onto the Floor."

Kevin talks with Mike Mulligan, founder of Moving Forward Rehabilitation and Wellness Center in London, Ontario, Canada. Mike recalls the incident that left him a C4 quadriplegic at just 16 years of age, and the incredible journey in the time since as Mike strives to achieve his goal of walking by age 40.
