- Mind Games #5 If I Only Was A Rich Man w/Tim Alison
Do you remember the first time you went to a funeral?
For me it was for my Grandfather. The day before the service we went to the funeral home for the visitation. The family drove right to the front door. The line of people waiting to pay their respects went all the way around the block. Some people waited for more than an hour, just to get into the home.
I didn’t understand at the time. My grandpa was a retired small business owner. He sold coal which in those days people used to heat their homes. Hardly a glamorous business.
Who were all these people? Why were they here?
Then the stories started to flow. Everyone had a memory of my grandpa. But the tears came from people that had worked for him (he kept everyone on during the Great Depression), and from the families he kept warm by giving them free coal to heat their homes. I later learned that he never made any effort to collect for the coal. If people came in he accepted payments, but those that couldn’t, or chose not to, were never embarrassed.
After his funeral, I hear a woman say to another, “If Ford Wilson had worked at hard at his business as he did at helping his community, he would’ve been a rich man.”
IMHO my grandpa was the richest man I’ve ever met, and it has nothing to do with his success in business. Who is the richest woman or man you know?
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts, comments, and stories, or just make a connection.

- How to Find Your Calling by Searching for Answers| Adrian Shepherd
You need to pass an introductory language test in Japanese (a language you don’t know), and you have two weeks to prepare!
That’s the situation a young Adrian Shepherd found himself in. He was scheduled to do a spring term in Japan, but without notice the prerequisite language requirements were changed. Most people would have given up.
Adrian hired a tutor, went down to the language department at his University, ignored the professor who told him he would never be able to do it in time, and easily passed the entrance exam in Japan.
As fate would have it, Adrian fell in love with Japan (and his future wife), and is now a best-selling author, Asia’s #1 Time Management Expert and the creator of the One-Bite Time Management System.
In this episode Adrian we talk about::- His near death experience when a Tsunami hit without warning, and he shares with us the impact it had on his mindset.
- His progression from an English teacher in Japan, to a Franchise owner, Multi-Level Marketer and then,
- How he became a self-taught time management expert by reading and then applying his experience as a teacher to simplify things
- The value of teaching our children about respect, discipline, and letting them learn that hard work pays off

- Reconciliation Begins With Understanding w/Sandi Boucher
Beginning in 1880, the Government of Canada removed Indigenous children, beginning at the age of 4, and forced them into residential schools. Believe it or not, this practice carried on for 100 years! In some families five generations of children were separated from their families, in what Macleans Magazine called “a flat-out mission of assimilation into white society.” https://www.macleans.ca/society/why-our-kids-need-to-learn-about-residential-schools/
I consider myself to be socially aware and educated. I mean I do have a degree in History from the University of Toronto. Canada’s largest and one of the most respected universities in the country. How is it possible that I didn’t know about this until very recently. It’s impossible to believe, but it is true.
Finding a path to reconciliation between an indigenous community that has been so badly wronged, and the broader Canadian population, including a growing number of immigrants, is a seemingly impossible task. Not for Sandi Boucher. Sandi talks about the importance of everyone understanding the social lens we use to view the world, and is on a mission to educate people on boths sides of the equation and help them contribute to and find reconciliation.
Sandi Boucher is an indigenous Engagement & Empowerment Facilitator at SandiBoucher.com.
Sandi is an internationally recognized and much-loved speaker, thought leader, television host, seminar facilitator and best-selling author who has dedicated most of her life to Indigenous inclusion, empowerment, and engagement. Now her "puzzle pieces" have come together in "The PATH", Sandi's newest book that outlines the path Indigenous and non-Indigenous must take to get us to and through reconciliation.
Named both the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year and the Nishnawbe Aski Development Fund Business Woman of the Year in 2016, Sandi is committed to her audiences, leaving an impression wherever she speaks.You can reach Sandi:

- How To Fix A Broken Leadership Model | Dave Clare
Gallup reports that a staggering 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged. Of those, 17% are actively disengaged (translation- these employees are deliberately trying to sabotage the company they work for).
For Dave Clare, this is evidence that leadership around the globe is in crisis mode, or as he puts it, leadership is broken.
In a world where the only certainty is uncertainty organizational structures are under attack.
There's a lack of trust in corporations and big shot CEO's and old hierarchies are being challenged with the changing nature of work.Dave says the answer is simple (not easy). Dave argues that a shift from a business model to a model business is not only desired, but required to ensure longevity. Business is a long-game. Building an invincible culture that unleashes creativity and innovation is paramount for continued success. Leaders I work with understand that they are responsible to create more leaders, not followers.Dave Clare is a leadership coach, public speaker and the author of Simplified: Leadership Is Simple. You Lead People. Dave gave up a hard earned 6 figure corporate income to chase his goal of creating and inspiring 90 million purpose-driven leaders. He wrote a book that calls BS on the leadership industry and says we have over-complicated things and are wasting billions on leadership training that is outdated.Contact Dave:
