Accomplished corporate career to health coach? Yup! Sherry Pratt is a certified coach and trained intuitive eating counselor. She left an accomplished and successful 25 year career as an IT professional and corporate executive to start her own health coaching business.

When she's not helping women reach their health goals, you can find her parenting her 2 teenage sons, behind the wheel of a tractor helping her husband out on their grain farm, tending her rather large vegetable garden, staying active playing pickleball and curling within her local community or relaxing with a glass of wine and a good book.

Today's guest was born to be an entrepreneur. Aaron Straus' first business was raising meat rabbits at the age of 7 on his family farm near Strasbourg, SK and by the age of 11, using money earned from his paper route, he got into the purebred Katahdin sheep business. He went on to study Agriculture at the U of S and purchased his first section of farmland. Following his convocation in 2003, he returned home to farm full time running a commercial cattle / meat sheep / and grain operation. Following the passing of his parents and the ensueing labour shortage on the farm he made the decision to leave farming and moved to Regina. In 2011 he purchased City Collateral from his retiring Uncle & Aunt and continued to operate the business until 2022. In 2017, he decided to diversify and open Cache Tactical Supply. Outside of business, Aaron has a broad range of interests including blacksmithing & knifemaking, hunting, fishing, woodworking and photography.

Continuing our series on our furry friends,

Our guest today was born an entrepreneur. But didn't realize it until she was 45 years old when she took the leap and bought a failing business in an industry she knew nothing about and turned it around into a profitable venture with her daughter as her partner.

Through sheer determination, a handful of 'ignorant bliss' and a massive amount of willpower and fortitude, Karen creates opportunity in every moment, and tackles her life and business challenges head on... with both the wins and losses contributing to her personal growth and her humble nature.

Tune in to learn more about Mark Heise, President of Rebellion Brewing, a local craft brewer in western Canada. Rebellion Brewing's tagline, "Be a rebel; drink great beer" says everything you need to know about the brewery and their product.

Imagine sitting on your coach one Saturday night, likely after a few too many wobbly pops, and deciding to take on the national brewers. The big guys. With big budgets. That's exactly what Mark and his partners did; take on the big guys. A few years later, Mark can look back with a silly grin and say, 'yup, we did it.' Rebellion Brewing jumped into the marketplace at a time when craft brewing was attracting customers in droves. And that's just the beginning of their story.
