We sit down to talk about work, purpose, and the search for meaning, and how our jobs can give structure, connection, joy, and what it means to truly find your place in the world.

This is not a discussion about why Brian made this choice, but about what it feels like to live through the final stretch of life with intention and awareness. We talk about mental health, the emotional toll of saying goodbye, and the surprising moments of clarity, love, and connection that have come from this journey.If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, grief, or end-of-life emotions, this episode offers a rare, compassionate look into one man’s experience - honest, raw, and profoundly human.

Fred has his first bladder infection in four years and has some top tips of what NOT to do when it comes to clearing it up fast, the marvels of modern medicine and the advice of AI chatbots!

Coming home always brings a mix of calm and clarity. Fred’s rediscovering the joy of slowing down, and questions Brit about parenthood and the challenges it brings, and how the wheelchair can add an extra layer of difficulty

This week on Wheel Talk, Fred shares stories from an unforgettable few weeks - a retreat that opened his heart, a challenging time with family, and a surprise twist that changes everything.

Fred is putting himself (and his disability) to the test to see if he can make the cut as a croupier. Competing in the job market is stressful at the best of times, but when you have a disability AND have to speak French (which is not Fred's native language) things get more complicated. In this episode Fred will give us an update on how he's feeling about his croupier training and we'll talk about our experiences in the job market and how our disability has affected (or hasn't) our ability to be hired.

Kids grow up fast, summer passes too quickly, time continues to tick on whether we want it to or not and we can either let it pass while we keep putting off our dreams and goals or we can decide to make something of this one, amazing, precious life. Today we're going to share some of the ways we've just been existing instead of living then share some of our dreams and goals with you. Join us as we make a "Dream It, Do It" list live on the podcast!
