  • 019 – passion for fantasy football leads to great product – with Joseph
    Fantasy football is a passionate pastime or hobby. Joe has a way to bring home your team as opposed to just having a digital version on your phone.

    Joe’s platform on social media for distributing his product/art is on Instagram.

    Joe’s passion comes through in the interview. He also serves his audience as an expert on picking their fantasy football team.

    Inspiration: Joe’s father who passed away earlier this year. Joe turned what could be a negative scenario into the inspiration that drives his day.

  • 018 – SR&ED program – knowledge is power – with Ron
    The program helps local manufacturing companies compete with off shore companies.

    Ron has a book that he wrote this year to help the small business owner. The book is available on Amazon: Concepts and Strategy for a SR&ED Practitioner: A primer to the Canada Revenue Agency’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development.

    Ron shares with us examples of what qualifies and what doesn’t qualify for a SR&ED claim.

    We learn the meaning of a CCPC (Canadian controlled Private Corporation). Most like if you are a business artist you may already be a CCPC.

    If you have an idea or looking to claim, Ron explains the resource available from calling the government (CRA) for help, to books available, such as Ron’s.


    Favourite Internet Resource: Evernote - it is great for tracking work on a claim. (I personally use evernote, it did take me a few months to clean up my paperwork).

  • 017 – running a business without running a rat race – with Ryan
    Ryan shares with us his journey from President of a recycling company straight out of university to running Rancho Relaxo in Colombia, South America.

    We hear about this special journey and property. New language, new job, new laws, and new culture. Raw entrepreneur culture is discussed and the differences between having a small business in Colombia versus Canada.

    Ryan talks about the ease of doing business and less “red tape”. We talk about the important facts you should know when buying land in a foreign country. What we take for granted here in North America regarding ownership may be a lot different in another country. With danger comes adventure. Ryan takes us through a typical day at the hostel. We also learn about the beautiful and genuine people of Colombia.


    What is your one thing that money can’t buy: Ryan gives us 3 things. He gives us a great visual of a morning walk to a waterfall and picking oranges and making fresh orange juice followed by a walk down to the beach and into the ocean.

    Favourite Quote: William Blake: “The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.”

    Take away: We discuss a corporate getaway to Colombia for adventure and an experience to remember. Is a slowed down pace of life for you? Check out Ryan and Rancho Relaxo in Colombia.

  • 016 – helping teams learn and inspiring results – with Doug
    The verticals he works best in are the medical field, car dealers and sales teams.

    How we operate has changed. What is important is how teams work together.

    Over the next five years Doug thinks distribution is the way of the future.

    Doug’s world is so far ahead that I get stumped asking questions. You can hear me use my guard and pull out the Strategic Coach D.O.S. tool to help deconstruct Doug. This helps gain an understanding of his world.

    We discuss bitcoin and how it democratizes currency. The world is changing and can big institutions keep pace? We discuss how some companies are being “apped” a new word for being replaced by technology.

    Future Art Work:

    Favourite Book/On the Go: Bold

    Favourite Ted Talk: Derek Sivers - How to start a movement (a good one - I watched it)

    Last 90 Minutes of your Day: Doug likes to play a game of strategy. The strategy games help keep him present in the game. On a personal note I am going to start doing this myself.

    Favourite Quote: You have to push down to grow up. Trust your team, trust your foundation, and explore new space - get out in your industry.

    Take away:

    “The future already exists it just hasn’t been distributed.” A nice quote after the quote.

    We talk about the benefits of getting away from everything every three months to the mountains or sea.

    Christine shares with us her latest business venture within her studio, a one day retreat to the Blue Mountains here in Ontario, Canada. A two day retreat to the Florida Keys is in the planning stages.

    During the podcast we talk about moving your body. Start small with a walk, ride a bike, ski, do martial arts, or any sports.

  • 014 – Another day another sandwich – with Dan
    It takes a little in the beginning, however, after a minute Dan opens up as only Dan Peters can. Once I mention vapour lounges, Dan is all go, describing the world of comedy. We learn the difference between doing an act in a bar with hecklers and the laid back environment of a vapour lounge. We go off on a side street on the politics of THC.

    Vapour Central in Toronto is a place you can see Dan perform at. Vape on the Lake and Puff Dogs Vapour Lounge are a couple of other places where he performs.

    His nickname came to him from his fellow, younger comedians in Hamilton.

    Dan also mentions a couple of other Hamilton comedians who are doing well, Patrick Coppolino and Mayce Galoni.

    We learn about the bullet spot in comedy acts.

    Dan also comments that he has the least amount of things he has ever had and he is the happiest now.

    Favourite Book/On the Go: Edwin Black, Eugenics

    Thing that you own that money can’t buy: Ability to laugh at everything

  • 013 – A photographer is worth an interesting 1000 words – with Kyle
    His studio is in Hamilton, Canada, in an old factory. It is a must see, the site of future podcasts.

    Kyle’s previous work was in the night club management business. I believe this helped mould his creative side for photography. He has not looked back since starting his journey.

    “Each picture has a story.” Kyle loves to have the visual and also a compelling story to go with that visual.

    You will have to listen to the podcast to hear his interesting “put it out there and take a chance” story with a win-win outcome.

    Vulnerability is a key element in Kyle’s work. He discusses this theme more later.

    Future Art Work:
    Podcasts from his studio

    Favourite Book/On the Go:

    Dynamic mobility moviements and yoga to finish off the day. No screens (cell, laptop, iPad) in bedroom.

    Favourite Quote:

    Kyle shared many quotes throughout the podcast. “People are like icebergs there is so much more below the surface”

    The last half of the podcast we discuss network tv vs netflix, cash vs digital currency, power vs reach and the ability for you the business artist to go after your dream, it’s easier than before.

    Take away:
    Do it for the love.

  • 012 – A product solution becomes a revolution – with Lee
    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. This is another on location podcast at the beautiful Hamilton Innovation Factory.

    Hockey tape is cotton soaked in adhesive. The product of hockey tape has not evolved in 100 years. Sniper skin is customizable to the individual. It is available for the blade and butt end of the hockey stick. Sniper Skin is available in all colours, can be customized to all sizes and is more cost-effective than buying rolls of tape.

    If you are, or know someone who is, a purchaser for Canadian Tire, that would be a great connection for Lee. Totally Hockey would be a great U.S. connection for Sniper Skin also.

    The product works well with baseball, cricket bats, and lacrosse sticks.

    Favourite quote: Don’t be afraid to make mistakes it’s what you do afterwards that makes you successful.
