Screw the Naysayers

Heather Parady is  the host of the Unconventional Leaders podcast. The show currently airs five times a week. Folks that’s a podcast warrior for you.  

Heather is a therapist turned online entrepreneur and the intention of her work is to raise up the next generation leaders who go against the grain. The decision to become an entrepreneur came after she’d earned her Master’s degree. When the job offers started to come in Heather burst out in tears. Her husband pointed out that when people get a job offer, most of them go out for drinks to celebrate. But down deep Heather had this burning desire to create something of her own. 

We had raw conversation about:

• Her entrepreneurial journey

Heather has an infectious personality and wisdom that goes far beyond her years. I was honoured to have her on the show. Enjoy

Travis is the Founder of NTSQ Sports Group and is an innovator in the endurance sports world. The thing that stands out about Travis is the clarity of his vision. This guy is a happy entrepreneur. Like many of us Travis’s path to entrepreneurship involved more than a few twists and turns.

The son of a triathlete, Travis competed in his first triathlon at the age of 8! Then moved on to Aussie rules football before competing in his first Ironman competition at the age of 20. Then in March of 2015, his life changed. He was riding his bike in Vancouver, came around a corner and was hit head on by a car. Travis suffered four fractured vertebrae in his neck, a dislocated hip, and fractured a few ribs and his scapula. In November of that same year Travis completed the New York Marathon, and in 2016 completed two ironman competitions.

With the injuries Travis knew that he could no longer compete at an elite level. He took a job working for Lululemon before launching his own business in 2018. Today Travis combines his love for endurance sports with his business. He organizes endurance events and also created  InnerVoice a brand that gives endurance athletes a new media platform to tell their true story.  

Travis spoke about the gifts he found in his adversity and challenges us all to do what makes us happy. His life and entrepreneurial story is fascinating. Enjoy..
