The boys are back in town! After an extended leave to re-think and re-design the podcast, Vik and Dom are back with a new episode. Veering away from only social media growth and working with brands chatter, Vik and Dom are focusing on simply being Vik and Dom. They discuss their everyday life of being dads, content creators, how they still use social media in their lives, fun projects, jokes, hot topics and whatever else comes to mind.

Although the focus is less on growing your instagram and working with brands, that topic will always naturally be a part of the conversation. Neither Vik nor Dom have stopped growing and working with brands so they will still be sharing any and all tips on how to grow your social media and online presence.

Join us every episode and let's see where this goes!

We had an amazing discussion with Seb Clovis on the main stage.

(The following is his bio on the Calgary Reno Show website)

Sebastian Clovis is not just a licensed contractor; he's a beacon of excellence in every aspect of the construction process, from envisioning architectural details to executing flawless finishes. He has a commitment to crafting enduring, personalized spaces while upholding the standards in the tradition of so many great builders.
His journey began in his teens under the mentorship of a master builder, but he temporarily diverted his path to pursue a football scholarship and a career in the CFL, culminating in a triumphant Grey Cup Championship with the BC Lions in 2006.
Following retirement from professional football, Sebastian seamlessly transitioned back to his first love: renovations. With a diverse skill set honed over years of experience, he emerged as a versatile craftsman, excelling in multiple disciplines and earning the title of a true jack of all trades. Teaming up with his partner, Designer Ayanna Augustine, they have refined a proprietary process for curating and creating stunning homes that reflect their clients' unique visions and lifestyles.

But Sebastian's journey didn't end with contracting; it was the beginning of a third career. His vibrant persona and unparalleled ability to demystify complex construction techniques catapulted him into the spotlight as the captivating host of hit home renovation shows such as ‘Tackle My Reno,’ ‘Save My Reno,’ and most his most recent endeavour, ‘Gut Job,’ streaming now on STACKTV.

In this episode, we chatted with Seb about overcoming your fear and diving right into DIY. Seb was an awesome guest with LOTS of information to provide!!

Our first episode since returning from the Calgary Renovation Show where we recorded a few live episodes on the main stage. We discuss some of the behind the scenes in this episode, including everything from Alberta beef to the venue itself. We had such a fun experience creating these episodes and are excited to hopefully bring you more and more live episodes in the future.

The boys are heading to Calgary to speak on the main stage and record a few live episodes of the podcast. We discuss puppy yoga and of course we are going to watch a hockey game while we are there! You don't want to miss our first episode of the 2025!!

This week we dive right into one of our longest episodes ever. They say time flies when you're having fun and man did we have fun chatting with Thomas Gojkovich, the 1/4 Serbian owner and operator of Thomas Custom Woodworks. Thomas has built up a social media empire well into the hundreds of thousands of followers and subs across his social media platforms, and he did it all from a small one car garage workshop. Thomas also knows all about the Etsy reviews policy and we discuss how Vik deals with his negative reviews.

Thank You for tuning in. You can find out more about Thomas here:
