Ronnie + Simone

Explore the world of minerals with Andy Randell, “Rock Sommelier” and entrepreneur. From his humble dinosaur beginnings, geologist Andy has taken on the task of being the change that he wants to see in his industry.

We think he’s ‘gneiss’. And yes, he really does lick rocks.

This one’s for the budding entrepreneurs. Lesli Boldt of Boldt Communications shares her 18-year old business story, including the parallels between business and dating, how to build your pitch, the things every entrepreneur does wrong at the start (no judgement – we all do it!), and more.

We’re back for Round 2 of seasonal beers with our favourite beer guru, Mr. Craig Stout. From Hefeweizens to Radlers, camping to weddings, cocktails to kegs, we cover your essentials for a good summer season.

Today we’re talking about friendships. They can be some of the most important, life-saving and meaningful relationships we have. Friends provide us with great memories, crazy adventures and many times they’re there to help pick up the pieces of some emotional turmoil and put us back together. They are the people with whom we choose to spend our time with. Some are in our lives for short periods of time, while others weave in and out, like no time has passed. And still others are there with you everyday battling it out in the trenches until you are two old ladies wandering the mall.

So, what makes a successful friendship? Who are the people that will remain with us over decades versus those that may be here for the good time and not a long time? Is one any less valuable than the other? Can friendships between opposite genders exist? Can we be friends with our exes?

To talk with us today about finding your tribe is Sandy Chen. Sandy has moved around a lot and that has provided many opportunities to make new friends over the years. We’ll get into that and the many different tribes she’s made herself a part.

**Bonus: A drinking game. Take a swig every time Ronnie says “deep” or “meaningful” and take a double swig when she uses them together!

This Episode, the three of us take it back to our roots. From how much our mothers love us (really!) and our changing relationships as we get older, to when parents overshare and a sci-fi minute brought to you by Adam from the Booth.

It’s a long one, but definitely a subject worth its length.

For the TV lover and curious, this Episode dives into Simone’s true love. Featuring Jon Downey, TV and film aficionado, we discuss TV highlights through the ages, how television viewing has transformed along with its implications, and Ronnie gets schooled on what’s hot to watch.

Get in your comfiest position and put your best viewing face on; this one’s a doozy!

Ever wonder WTF you’re doing with your life? Or why the f*ck you can’t make a decision to save your life? Meet Makenzie from Love Your Mondays. She’s a badass with a big heart that’s ready to help you get out of your decision-making rut, take that big leap, or just figure out whether you want peanut butter or jam on your toast (we recommend both).

Tune in as Makenzie takes us through her forensic psychology background and how she made the big leap herself into a career that she loves.

Whether you’re a firm believer in the spiritual powers of fortune-telling or a skeptic that believes it’s all a scam, this Episode is for you.

Cindy Mochizuki, an accomplished multi-media artist and fortune-teller, chatted with us about her journey into tarot card reading, the parallels between performance narrative in her art and through her readings, her belief about destiny, and how the whole thing works. She even does a reading for us at the end of the Episode where Ronnie learns what career move to make, Adam is surprised by big news, and Simone’s romantic life continues on in not-so-glorious fashion.

If you’ve ever wondered what tarot card reading is all about, tune in!

Ever wondered what it’s like to do comedy improv? Our guest for this Episode is Stacey McLachlan, a writer, producer, and all-around star on the Vancouver improv scene. She walks us through the many joys and life-applicable lessons she learned through improv and throws in a little “tea bag wisdom” while she’s at it. Stick around to the end, when we do a little improv ourselves!

This Episode features our trailblazing friend AJ. Now a practicing yoga teacher, AJ’s journey has taught him how to listen to the signs, both internal and external, to determine happiness, the true power of self-love, and how to overcome a loss of identity.

This one’s a bit deep, guys.
