Episode #37 is a really neat journey through one gentleman's successes and how things aren't always as they appear.  Kevin McNee had all the appearances of a successful career and home life, but he wasn't fulfilled.  He takes responsibility for his actions and how he was responsible for his unhappiness, but he also took the steps necessary to start to heal.  He reached out to us to talk about his story and it is a unpredictable journey to where he is today.  

It was a vrey insightful discussion and I really hope you take some time to check Kevin's socials out to see what he has cooking. It's really incredible to see what someone can do when they discover their purpose!  Check him out at @ to have them and I hope you find their message helpful.  You can find him on IG at @warrioroftheh.e.a.r.t, his organization is at @warriorsoftheh.e.a.r.t. or email him directly at [email protected] if you want to chat with him directly.

Mental health is a cause near and dear to everyone but when you are in the hospitality business and a worldwide pandemic arrives, it becomes impossible to manage.  A trio of entrepreneurs from Central AB banded together to help each other and their employees to share their message.  Rielly (Cilantro and Chive) & Matt (Blindman Brewing) and their partner Brennan (Bo’s Bar & Grill) have created an initiative called Stigma 86 where they aim to help shed some light on what goes into the business of hospitality.  It’s a fun chat and when we are done, maybe you’ll understand what they go through to bring us food and drink a little more clearly.

It was a great discussion and I am proud to share it.  You can find them at

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we had an opportunity to sit down with the most unique guest we have had to date.  Olivia Hartley is a full-service sex worker who is located on Vancouver Island and she is blowing up your preconceived notions about exactly what it is that she does.  She tells her story about how she got to where she is, how it is different than what even she expected and she tells us exactly why societies views on the oldest profession are not only antiquated but harmful and more dangerous than anyone could know.  There are untold people who perform this work, utilize their services and make a living in this vocation and we were lucky enough to get one that was willing to pull the curtain back and give us a tour.  Enjoy the ride, you will learn something, I guarantee it!  Check her out at:

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we sit down with a local-to-Calgary couple who are trying their hand at a number of creative pursuits while finding their way in their life together.  Megan Pierson and Dylan Coney started dating during the COVID pandemic, and when Megan's contract at a local country music radio station ended, they decided to roll the dice on themselves.  A clothing line, a podcast and a side hustle managing social media for other creators, has them hopping, but they wouldn't have it any other way. Dylan kept his day job as an architecture tech and throughout all of this, they have really learned more about themselves than anything.  And they can't believe what they keep learning!  Join us for a fun chat about expectations, reality and keeping success in focus.

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we welcome Canadian Paralympian Julie Kozun.  Julie competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games in the Sitting Volleyball event, which she became eligible to participate in after a lawnmower accident when she was 15.  We discuss the accident, the resulting decision that set her on this path and what her life looks like now that she is at the apex of her competitive pursuit.  She made a tough choice to pull out of the program just before the 2016 Rio games and we walk through that process to show what is considered when those decision are made.  She is a remarkable young lady and when you are through listening, you will be thrilled of the caliber of person who is representing Canada on our behalf.  You can follow her journey on IG at @juliekozunsittingvball or at https://paralympic.ca/team-canada/julie-kozun.
