On todays episode, Collin Skanes joins me in the studio for the full hour. Collin is a student-athlete at Humber College. He works hard to balance being a member of the Humber Hawks Volleyball team (currently ranked #4 in all of Canada), while also studying Radio Broadcasting. 

Collin sees many parallels in striving for excellence BOTH on the court, and in his professional life. His long term vision is to establish a brand, piggy-backing on his multitude of skills and interests. He’s a radio host on 96.9FM Radio Humber. He creates music; often shooting and editing his own videos. Collin’s newest single “COME THRU” feat. ARTOFKAZA just dropped last week! ALSO, on February 21st-23rd the Humber Hawks will be hosting the OCAA Men’s Volleyball Provincial Championship. Check it out!

Today we chat with Jonathan Villalba. He’s a student at Humber College (Toronto) in the Media Communications program. He wants to make content that matters to people. We are super-fans of podcasting, and both understand the power of the platform to bring people together. He got his start in the Radio Broadcasting program at Humber, but it wasn’t the right fit for him. His focus is on newer content platforms, like podcasting. Jonny shares his story, and his appreciation of the opportunities in front of him. A cool dude!

Switching lanes.

Branding.

Finding a purpose.

On today's podcast I chat with the one and only Alice Lopes. She's a student at Humber College in the Media Communications program. Alice is studying in Canada, by way of Brazil. She has a positive energy that is unlike anything I've ever encountered. She's a very busy lady and I'm super grateful she found the time to drop by the studio.
