Tyler Babiuk is an Edson, Alberta raised musician who has performed in front of thousands of people. Having had moderate success as a young Country artist, I wanted to explore the ideas of obstacles with him and how he views his journey. We talk about what it was like for him to go through his parents divorcing when he was younger and what it was like to fit into a new community. I was blown away at how much wisdom he had for such a young age. Tyler is a very creative young man who is worth listening, whether he's talking on my podcast or performing a concert.

Natalie Walter is a champion of women everywhere, particularly of young women. Working to support troubled youth through the West Yellowhead Pregnancy Care Centre, Natalie finds herself in a very interesting position. I found this conversation to be exactly what I needed to here. Her story, while somewhat marred with an early trauma, has uniquely positioned her to be of help to so many others. She's fun, charming, and so insightful. She's proof that even the hard things in life can work together for good.

Stephen Jones is a multi-talented, creative, and diverse individual who was diagnosed with autism. In this episode we speak a lot about what that means and even what it was like for him as a child---something many families navigating with this diagnosis find some trouble understanding. He is genuine, kind, and very insightful. From a personal journey of intense focus to sometimes floundering social skills, Stephen is a fascinating man who taught me much. I know you're going to enjoy this episode...

A bullfighter and a counsellor make a heck of a combination, and Brett and Amy Monea are exactly that. Though Brett has experience in the rougher side of life in high intensity sport, Amy has spent a lot of time understanding psychology as a therapist, and together they connect two different worlds in a beautiful way. We talk about many things but the big theme that came out of our conversation is the need for more people to understand what therapy is, why it's important, and how it can improve your life.

Sharon Neufeld is a counsellor, a truth-sayer and intelligent human being that I have the utmost respect for. Her story is fascinating; from having her home burn down to following a bizarrely non-traditional educational path, it's just a delight to listen to the twists and turns of her life. This is the perfect episode for you if you're a married person and wanting to strengthen your relationship. Sharon's practical application of Christian principles are universal to believers and non-believers alike.

Jason Meland is a fitness coach from Florida. Growing up close to a lot of gang activity, his story of continually persevering through obstacles is one truly worth listening to. Whether being bullied relentlessly as a kid, repeatedly being turned down for a dream spot on 'American Ninja Warrior,' and even surviving a severe electrocution accident while on the job as a firefighter, no obstacle has been tough enough to hold him back. I ask him about what's kept him pushing forward, and what has led to his present success.

Vince Del Monte is a family man, fitness leader, and incredibly successful business entrepreneur. In fact, he was recently named by Yahoo as the #1 Fitness Business Coach there is. But all his success and business acumen aside, Vince is an ordinary man who is trying to balance his work with his life, and today we talk frankly about his experience in marriage: what has challenged it, and what has he done to make it stronger.

Greg Garwood is a professional firefighter and fitness leader from Colorado, but many people would be surprised to learn that he has long suffered from some extreme anxiety in his life, even having had a full blown nervous breakdown at one point. But despite his struggles, his story is one of perseverance and continually leveling up his life, facing fears and getting uncomfortable in order to grow. I know you're going to find this valuable and instructive.

Brian Dixon has been a huge mentor in my life and his story is a powerful one. Brian got into a very serious vehicle collision when he was a young man that shattered his pelvis and caused enough damage to make every doctor tell him that he would never walk again---all but one orthopedic surgeon who took a chance on him. That doctor, his faith in God, and his good heart for people became a primary driver in what he feels is his second chance at life. He's since ran 11 marathons, been a successful teacher, entrepreneur, family man, and influencer. So much wisdom here!

Shaley Griffin is a cowgirl after my own heart. She's from Texas and her story is a powerful one of overcoming an emotional affair that came between her and her husband, rising to find her passion as a breakaway roper, and ultimately shining a light into the lives of other women who have similar challenges. She does this all not only through her experience, but through the center of her faith. Buckle in for an inspiring story redemption, forgiveness, and strength, my friends...
