Freedom Convoys, protests, ending all mandates.....these are things that have occupied my mind over the last couple of weeks. I haven't really come to a conclusion on where I stand but i'm glad to share my thoughts on all of it just the same. Enjoy the podcast.

A really great convo with my friend Jamil. We touch a little on real estate but mostly we dissect the value of education, helping others, and a few other things we feel will bring some value to those listening. Enjoy the podcast!

Sept 30th is Truth and Reconciliation Day....a day that represents a dark day in Canada's history. This is a short impromptu podcast of my thoughts and feelings as a result of this day and what all of us need to do if we truly want to see better days ahead. Enjoy the podcast.

I had the esteemed pleasure of chatting with Jon S Rennie. Jon is a business leader, bestselling author, speaker, and podcaster. He is the Co-Founder, President & CEO of Peak Demand Inc., a premier manufacturer of critical components for electrical utilities. He is a former U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Officer who made seven deployments during the end of the Cold War. We talked about leadership, failure, engagement, and more importantly, after all the content out there to make better leaders, we are still faced with a workforce that wholly unengaged. Enjoy the Podcast!

I went old school and produces a solo version tonite. I learned alot from everyone I interviewed since the inception of the Xranue Podcast and it has helped me to create my own list of personal truths that are slowly becoming my natural guiding light as I make decision throughout my journey. I'm super pumped to share them with you and I hope that they can bring you value as they have for me. Enjoy the Podcast!

Yet another fantastic connection from the Poddit Network. Tonite I sat down with Erin Mac and we touched on everything from entrepreneurship, her anxiety disorder, her perspectives, and most important her mind blowing belief in impenetrable joy, to which she currently devoted to bringing out in all of her clients. Things really start to get deep halfway through the episode and without a doubt, this is one of the most illuminating conversations I have had. Enjoy the Podcast!

Tonite I sat down and had a good old fashioned conversation with Anne Wilson, a long time resident of Alberta's Bow Valley where we chatted about her life as gardener, turned criminal defense attorney, that was also sprinkled with some hard work in the political scene. For those of you that are local to bow valley, we touched on some hot topics like affordability, the proposed TSMV development, and of course the current state of the provincial government....we just couldn't help ourselves. Enjoy the podcast!

This episode has simply been long overdue. I connected with my old friend, James Addington and we take an extremely deep dive into his journey of mental health, specifically dealing withearly onset of depression, anxiety, and a gradual decline of his own mental health that eventually lead to some very dark times. James was extremely open with his experiences and I am forever grateful for this as I know there are many of us out there that are struggling with mental health. I truly hope that our conversation will serve you, if only, to know that you are not alone and that it's OK not to be ok.

Sam has autism and has devoted the last two years of his life to a podcast called Autism Rocks and Rolls to raise awareness about austim and simply how awesome it can be. We talk about some misconceptions, how he was diagnosed, and how Gina was able to navigate parenthood of an austistic son. There's some brilliant advice near the end for anyone who may be dealing an indiidual on the spectrum. Enjoy!

Randy is a keen subject matter expert in the field of global network security sales and we engaged in conversation about workplace culture and the good, the bad, and the ugly of organizational change. Randy has been tasked time and time again to integrate outside organizations and shares some great insight into the culture of change and some helpful leadership advice for anyone who faces any facet of organizational change.

Yet another connection from the great state of Louisiana! Anita Blue and I got together and talked about her military career in the air national guard and how her experiences, as a member of the LGBT community enabled her to realize her full leadership potential. We also touched on her amazon best selling book which can be found on amazon by searching "Breakthrough Success with Anita Renee Blue. Lastly, we briefly explore the concept of servant leadership and why it can be so powerful when it comes to leading a team. Enjoy the podcast!

I sat down with Banff Labour Journalist Jessia Arsenio who is a member of the IWW Freelance Journalists Union. Our connection was quite random and without spilling the beans, we both had some very passionate perspectives of employer provided accomodations and how it can be both a blessing and a burden. Jessia certainly opened my eyes to a different perspective that contrasted my own experiences in staff res and I'm glad we were able to connect. Enjoy the podcast!

I had the pleasure of connecting with Michaela Cox who hails from Texas and now resides in the state of Louisiana. She is certainly no stranger to the world of Academia as she holds a B.A in Sociology and a masters degree in Political science in American Government...not to mention an accomplished author with 7 titles currently published...and all the while being legally blind to boot. We cover a lot of ground as we talk about her experiences with her disability, her experiences with divorce, death, and also being a single mother while attending grad school. Michaela was an absolute treat to talk to and she shares a great message near the end that can certainly help us all on this journey of change. Enjoy the podcast!

I had the esteemed pleasure of reconnecting with Sandy who was an old work friend from the 1st round Kananaskis days. Sandy shared her stories of divorce, death, poverty, while we both shared our experiences with suicide and how it all led to her to her life now as a successful entrepreneur and a soon to be published author. There's also a few other tidbits in there but I'll let you find out for yourself. Enjoy the podcast!

I got together with my good friend Chris who lives all the way in Australia. We've known each other for over 14 years. Over the time that I've known him, he has been through quite the ride, not only with his family struggles, but his own personal demons. Chris is one of the most resilient people I know and I'm glad he was able to share a few insights on how he was able to overcome the various challenges in his life. Enjoy the podcast!

Check out my thoughts on self discipline and if approached in a certain way, it can help you to realize the change you have been seeking.

Please welcome Barrymore Scott as the Xranue Podcast's very special first guest. This is a bit of deviation from the usual format where we engage in very random conversation with no real theme or subject. It's kinda like all dressed chips....the overall experience is wonderful...but can't really dicipher all the flavours. Hope you enjoy!

Some quick insights as to why they fail and some tips on how you can make your resolutions achievable.....and ultimately long lasting.

My insights on leadership and why failure can be a precious gift.

Why masks can work, why are conspiracy theorists the way they are, and why I'll be in line when eligible to take the CoVID 19 vaccine.

Getting started is the hardest part.
