   Number 1: Week 46 - The Roads Less Travelled

   Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Dave and Candace Rae look out across Manitoba and reflect on exploring beyond their own perimeter. From Candace’s recent keynote and wellness retreat out in Pinawa—complete with curious wild deer peering into the windows—to Dave realizing how many northern lakes, historic trails, and quiet provincial routes remain untouched on his bucket list, the conversation wanders through what it truly means to get off the beaten path. The episode also turns deeply personal as the hosts navigate an unexpected pivot on the home front. After learning their Junior A billet hockey player was suddenly traded eastward, Dave and Candace dive into an open, honest discussion about youth sports, family expectations, and the rare courage it takes for young athletes to pause and make choices for their own well-being rather than living vicariously through the dreams of others. Between roadside snack etiquette, small-town quirks, and plenty of laughs, Dave and Candace deliver a warm, candid, and funny look at the journeys people take—both across the map and within themselves.
