Timing is everything.. it is March 2020 as I upload this podcast with Tyler Logan, a Registered Nurse in Calgary, Alberta. With all that is currently going on in the world speaking with someone in the health care industry could not be more appropriate.

Tyler and I had a conversation about:

• his career as a RN and how he knew it was the right career for him
• some of the biggest challenges he personally faces within his career
• likes and dislikes he has about his job
• what a typical shift looks like as an RN
• improvements Tyler believes the healthcare industry should make
• things he wishes patients would know when interacting with the health care industry 

Considering the timing we could not record this episode without addressing COVID-19.. I asked Tyler how his job has changed since the outbreak and how he thinks our future will look.

We finished the episode with the three Lighting Round Questions:

• How do you define success?
• If you were gifted 10 million dollars, what would you do with it?
• What is one thing that you are grateful for today?
