- Vernon Joseph D'Souza - Hacking Ethically
Today's guest is ethical hacker and cyber-security expert, Vernon Joseph D'Souza. As managing partner of Forecight CyberSecurity in Vancouver, smashing firewalls, stolen pin codes, breaking into server rooms, and corporate espionage is nothing other than a typical Tuesday. We get into hacker objectives, how to be safer online, and the skill-set one needs in order to excel as a hacker. Special thanks to my de-facto booking agent, Arezou Marzara, for helping this interview come together.

- Dan Flores - Chicky's Wild New World
Dan Flores joins the show today. Author of ten books, his works include the bestsellers American Serengeti and Coyote America. His latest, Wild New World, is a big history deep dive into the relationship between people and animals in North America. Starting at the Chicxulub Impact–the giant space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago–Wild New World shows how our belief in human exceptionalism has truly devastated the natural world. With complex characters laid atop vivid landscapes, Dan's compelling work will, as one reader suggests, ‘rearrange the furniture in your head'. It's wonderful. Go Read it!

He is also a writer, podcast creator (25 minuter, Future skills, Outsiders), and a seriously deep thinker.

We chat about big picture thinking, how to find meaning and passion in what we do, and, of course, buying real estate in whore village.

- Ben Frederick - Hard Things are Hard…and That’s OK
Ben Frederick, the 2021 National Singlespeed Cyclocross Champion, joins the show today. Back in 2016, he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). We talk about what happened, the dark periods that followed, and coming out the other side. He has since founded The Small Monsters Project, aiming to remove the stigma around mental health struggles which can result from a TBI. All proceeds support the Love Your Brain Foundation. And yes, we still find time to discuss racing, riding a steel frame in the age of carbon, and his upcoming holiday plans.

48 min - Tamas Dobozy - It’s Oscar Teleki CallingWriter and professor, Tamas Dobozy, joins me today. I had the pleasure to read two of his books. Siege 13 and Ghost Geographies are beautifully written and entertaining short story collections. His characters - complex, memorable, and sometimes despicable - struggling through the murk of being human, mirror back our own experience on to us in unexpected and often funny ways. During our chat, Tamas talks about building a life around what you love to do, the pull to write short stories, and even a surreal experience when he received an email from none other than Oscar Teleki. Enjoy.Tamas Dobozy - Author PageWilfred Laurier University Faculty PageThe Rite of Spring - Igor Stravinsky1 hr 2 min
