One of my favourite parts of this podcast was when Shane was talking about innovating through adversity. It's the secret sauce.

Shane Wenzel is the namesake of Shane Homes Group of Companies based out of Calgary, Alberta, and his lessons in life and business are exactly what the world needs to hear. 

Whether you are an entrepreneur, a ‘Captain of Industry’, or someone just starting with an idea, Shane has valuable insight and excellent, hard-won advice for how to make a difference.

Alec Gillis is one of the founding partners of Amalgamated Dynamics, an Academy Award-winning character effects studio where we design, produce, and perform special characters for film, television, and commercials.

His '5 Things Everyone Should Know' will warm your heart and inspire your creative muse.

Charlie grew up in Corona, Queens running numbers before his brother, Paul (The Untouchables), convinced him to move to Hollywood and work as a stunt double.

In 1975 he got his big break as Stunt Coordinator on Starsky and Hutch and the rest, as they say, is history. He's an actor, a second-unit director, stunt coordinator, and first unit director. He's one of the founding members of Stunts Unlimited and has  worked with the biggest names in Hollywood. His stories and lessons are the stuff of legend.

You'll immediately hear why we had to have Tony McGrath back on the RebelRebel Podcast -- he's charming, thoughtful, well spoken, and also can drop f-bombs and suffers no fools.

He was with us at the start in season one when he just took the helm of one of Canada's oldest theatres, The Grand. Now, as it will do, life has come full circle and we find Tony transitioning to a new opportunity but this time it's nano-technology. Yes. from the arts to tomorrow's technology. He sure isn't boring.

When Kay says she had no idea what she wanted to be when she grew up, she meant it. She's been a Sign Language Interpreter, a Voice-Over Artist, she trained to be an MMA Fighter, then became a police officer, then later a detective, before finding her true passion.

It wasn't until she found herself in the hospital with a life-threatening infection brought on by stress that she decided to make a change. That change led her all over the world and helped shape a unique worldview, rich with inspiration.

When the pandemic hit Emre took to the stage in his living room and started playing live-streaming shows every night so he could stay connected and then connect others in a time when everything was uncertain.

He reminds us to be a force for good in the world, and although we don't get into this during the show on winter nights when the temperature is cold enough to crush your soul he goes out and brings clothing and blankets to the homeless in our city. If you have enough, remember to share.

It will be no surprise to anyone who knows her that Laura Stewart used to play hockey against her bigger, older brothers while wearing a dress so they would know they just got beaten by a girl. 

Laura is at the top of her game helping investors buy real estate in the hottest market in the country at one of the top firms. She has reinvented herself many times since taking her brothers to the boards in her dress and has found her passion and niche.

Today Matthew has an outstanding exhibition at cSPACE King Edward in Calgary with some other inspiring artists called the Fantasmagorical Figure Exhibit and has his sights set on even bigger things for 2021 and 2022.

When Shylo Victoria asked her parents for perfume on her 11th birthday little did they know it would be the catalyst that would ignite her passions and start her entrepreneurial journey.

She creates her fragrances by hand, does not use any bad stuff or support animal cruelty, and she gives 10% of her profits away to people in need. She's a force of nature, and a kickass business woman.
