How To Think Like A Possibility Hacker 

This time around I interviewed Shelli Varela, first female firefighter in Canada’s 6th largest city. Graced the tedx stage twice, podcast host of the yes effect podcast.

She embodies the path hunters spirit, and what she calls the possibility hacking, deciding that she wanted to pursue a career of a firefighter but at the time there were not female fiire fighters. Later on she asked herself a question “why not me?” The only catch was Shelli is 5’2” and 108lbs. That didn’t stop here though she was determined and after 1162 days later she became a full fledged firefighter.

A huge thing that Shelli mentioned is that it was her ability to constantly say yes and decided to take action which enabled her to do so much. She was living, breathing and visualizing every single day of that phone telling her she got the job as a firefighter.

Then it dawned on her, she has cracked the formula and did the impossible, she became a firefighter and this exact same power helped her stand in front on stage and gave 2 TEDx talks. She calls it possibility hacking.

Shortly after that she created the Yes Effect podcast where she interviews entrepreneurs, and people who just constantly said yes to their dreams and their lives and now helps other women empower themselves to live their dreams.

She is actually featured on Chris Guillebeau’s book – Born For This

I really loved interviewing Shelli as she dropped amazing insights and hearing her journey, her challenges and struggles but the point of it all was that she overcame and beat the odds.

Hey Hey path hunters,

Todays guest is one I look up to very much so. A speaker that has inspired me to take the leap of faith and take a trip to Thailand. He works with orphans in different parts of the country, an Inspirational Speaker, Writer, Filmmaker and has shared the stage with people such as the Dalai lama and Richard Brandson. My guest today is Philip Mckernan everyone.

And a side note, i really love what I do as a podcaster because I get to interview amazing people such as Philip here and it’s always a learning curve for me so this time around I interview him and was completely pushed to my limits, and happy to speak to someone I look up to very much so. So this episode there will be a lot of me being vulnerable asking Philip on things that I’m working through to better serve and impact.

Philip touched on a few topics and his views on how to be vulnerable and how people are using vulnerbility today, hiw thoughts on dealing with the past, and his projects with one last talk and give and grow.

So without a further a due, here is the one and only Philip Mckernan!

Hey fellow path hunters, 

This episode I'd like share some tips on how to approach mentors, or having virtual mentors. 

Most of the time people tell you to find mentors, and learn from them. The one thing that they don't tell you is how to find a mentor, when the mentor doesn't have time. 

check out the episode and hear how to approach mentors.

Hey hey path hunters!

really wanted to take the time to go over why you should think entrepreneurially even though you don't have an desires of creating a multi-million dollar business. Starting side hustle could be very beneficial as it creates another source of income for you. That way you if there were any changes to your life such as having a new born child, or newly married, then you're able to adapt and pivot easily because most likely you'll be thinking about buying a house or a car. 

Another point is that you may want to leave your career and focus on the side hustle as it has matched your income or if you just got laid off and you're able to depend on the side hustle for a short period of time. 

Lastly and this is happening in Canada and the US that the living standard is rising, but wages aren't keeping up with it fast enough so by creating a side hustle that generates income for you, you're then able to maintain this living standard.

Cheers everyone 

I hope you enjoyed this!

Take care!

As I move through the motions of life, there will come so many obstacles in front of you. Whether it's your family wanting you to be safe, and come back, whether it's financial related, whether it's a fight against yourself. 

We're all human and all this is normal. As much as you want to turn back and be where it's safe, realize that if you do go back you'll want to be exactly where you are today!

So don't give up. Just keep walking, keep saying "yes." 

Have faith that everything will work out. As long as it's coming from the right place and you are 100% genuine then everything will work out. I know that deep down somehow or someway this will all work out. 

Continue the fight. 

This is a message to all you brave path hunters out there. You WILL MAKE IT. 

Believe, have faith!

I love you all.

Beautiful Path Hunters, 

This episode is quite interesting I recently connect with a Youtuber named Riley Bennett where he has a travel channel called Living that life. We decided to collaborate and did a video podcast. 

It was my first video podcast and it was a great experience where I had to share this with all the path hunters listening to the podcast. 

We can into much details about our journey and how different yet similar our paths are but ended up in the same place in Thailand. 

Riley spoke about his whole entire journey how he left his job and took off with his best friend to Thailand to start a few business projects that ended up not working. 

Why he started youtube, and some of his mindset.

It was definitely fun to do this episode with him.

Amazing path hunters,

Today’s guest I have a good friend of mine Filip Sierpinski who is the host of your next chapter podcast where he’s all about personal growth and has interview many transformational coaches and entrepreneurs.

My interview with Filip is amazing where we talk about alot of things, and about his new course that he is launching, where it’s all about helping you Discover systems that will ensure you reach your goal, 10x your productivity and efficiency, develop how to properly manage your time to start living the life you want.

We spoke about why he got into podcasting, and why he chose podcasting as his plateform compared to youtube or any other ones.

Where he sees podcasting going from here.

How he overcame his struggles with being a bisexual man and his advice to someone who is going through the same thing he went through.

Filip also shared some tips from his new course on how to set goals, and what to do on those off days where you just aren’t getting much done.

That along with many more value bombs that Filip dropped.

Hey Fellow path hunters!

My guest today has an amazing story to tell, she left her job to go travel around the world for a year with a company called Remote year. She is now focusing on other projects and is super passionate about it.

Kate was a part of remote year where they have 75 people travel together for 1 year and at the same time maintain remote jobs where they can work online.
