NINETY-EIGHT YEARS ago, in a logging camp deep in the forests of British Columbia, a logger in a funny hat walked up to a big stump, an ax in his hand. Taking off the hat — it was a battered bowler, an old-fashioned dandy's hat even in 1923 — he laid it on the stump, set a nail in it, and drove it in. Then he turned and walked away. Probably he walked straight to the logging locomotive for his last ride into town. Nailing the hat to the stump was a symbolic act — Stewart H. Holbrook was quitting the logging business forever. ...

Highway 16 in northern British Columbia looks, at first glance, like any other remote road: mountains, forests, rivers, small towns, and long stretches of empty pavement. But for decades, this corridor became known by a much darker name — the Highway of Tears.This episode of Terrifying & True investigates the real history behind one of Canada's most devastating true crime cases: the disappearances and murders of women and girls along Highway 16 and nearby routes, many of them Indigenous. Officially, the RCMP's Project E-PANA includes eighteen cases, but families, advocates, and Indigenous organizations have long argued that the true number may be higher.We examine the victims, the isolated geography, the lack of safe transportation, the failures of policing and media attention, and the systemic conditions that allowed danger to persist for decades. This is not a story about one cursed road or one simple explanation. It is a story about grief, survival, ignored warnings, and families who refused to let their loved ones disappear from memory.The Highway of Tears remains one of the most haunting examples of how true crime can expose something larger than a single mystery: a pattern of violence, silence, and systemic failure that continues to demand answers.We're telling that story tonight.

Show NotesThe Pastorate ConferenceGive to our $30,000 June Match CampaignMark Clark's WebsiteVillage Church WebsiteBayside Church WebsiteThe Mark Clark PodcastThe Problem of Life by Mark ClarkThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode DescriptionIn today's conversation, Jason sits down with Mark Clark, the pastor who planted Village Church in British Columbia, and now the Global Senior Pastor at Bayside Church in California. Mark's story includes an atheist upbringing in Ontario, a late-teen conversion, a dream of becoming an academic at Oxford, and a call to plant a church in one of the most secular corners of North America. What began with sixteen people in his living room grew into one of the fastest-growing churches in Canada, and Mark reflects with both gratitude and candor on the road that took him there.Jason and Mark talk about the patience that shaped their early ministry years, waiting for the right time, the right people, and the right season to plant churches. Mark opens up his convictions around preaching, describing how he learned to speak to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room, and why he refuses to choose between reaching the lost and discipling the found. He's also honest about the cost of leading through rapid growth, including the burnout seasons that left him preaching dizzy and gripping the pulpit to stay upright.The conversation also turns to what it meant to leave the church he founded and entrust it to leaders he loves, and the insecurity that keeps many leaders from transitioning. Drawing on Zechariah 10, he candidly describes his calling as making warhorses out of sheep, a vision he holds with both conviction and a winsome humilityIn this episode you'll hear:How an atheist kid from Ontario became a church planter in one of Canada's most secular cities,Why patience, the right time, people, and season, mattered more than urgency in the plant,How to preach to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room,What the burnout seasons cost Mark, and the team decision that reshaped his preaching,Why he left the church he founded, and what it's been like to watch it flourish under new leadership,How Zechariah 10 reframed his calling around raising and releasing the next generation of leaders.PartnersWould you consider giving to our summer match campaign? Every donation in June will be matched by a generous donor up to $30,000.Generis has created a Pastorate-exclusive Generosity Cohort. Over one year, eight pastors leading churches with annual budgets under $1 million will journey together, coached by Jon Wright, who will help develop a customized generosity plan for their church. Because it's cohort-based and designed for Canadian pastors, it offers a more affordable option than 1on1 coaching. This cohort launches in July 2026 and is limited to eight pastors. If this sounds like it could serve you and your church, you can reach out to Jon Wright here.

As Vancouverites see people watering their lawns during a drought, it's a question they're asking themselves. While cities in British Columbia take drastic measures to limit water use, Laura heads to the watershed to learn how conservation can help keep the taps on. But it's not the only approach that Canadians are using to tackle water shortages. In south central Manitoba, a modified wetland is forcing people to work with nature instead of against it.

Tribes in Washington State and Vancouver, British Columbia are presenting their culture and history to soccer fans all over the world. The Puyallup Tribe's partnership with FIFA is the first time an Indigenous nation is formally represented at the World Cup for the games in host city, Seattle. The Musqueam Indian Band and Squamish Nation also have hosting and planning agreements in Canada. They are all contributing cultural events, visual arts, and music during the matches that are attracting fans from all over the world. At the same time, Native victims advocates like the Seattle Indian Health Board are preparing resources to combat the expected increases in Indigenous human trafficking that inevitably accompanies such large, high-profile events. GUESTS Jamin Zuroski (ʼNa̱mǥis First Nation, Polish, Ukrainian), artist Tamia Overes (səlilwətaɬ [Tsleil-Waututh Nation]), artist Chelsea Hendrickson (citizen of the Northern Arapaho Nation, and Cup'iq), survivor leader Hope Sandstrom (Puyallup), digital media manager for the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Abigail Echo-Hawk (Pawnee), executive vice president of Seattle Indian Health Board and director of Urban Indian Health Institute

A public servant gives three decades to the province, then gets fired without cause on the very day a government is about to fall. The BC Supreme Court doesn't just disagree with how it was handled, it finds the termination was politically motivated and meant to turn a non-partisan employee into a convenient scapegoat. We talk through what that finding really means in wrongful dismissal law, why the court awards significant punitive damages, and how the decision sends a clear warning that public servants are not political props.We also dig into the details that should make any listener who pays taxes pay attention: severance that appears to be legally owed gets withheld for months while pressure is applied to sign away the right to sue. Then we step back and ask the uncomfortable question about accountability, because the defendant isn't a political party, it's the Crown in right of British Columbia, meaning the costs and damages come out of the public purse. We also examine why a current government might still choose to deny improper motive and defend the case all the way through a long trial.From there, we shift to estate law in British Columbia and a fascinating WESA section 58 “curative provision” case about wills. A couple plans mirror wills with a lawyer, but the woman dies before signing and the only pre-death draft carries the partner's name, while a corrected version is created after death. We explain what counts as a reliable “record” of testamentary intentions, why judges can cure some defects but cannot validate a will based only on what people say happened, and what this means for anyone who has been putting off their estate planning.If you found this useful, subscribe, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

Most outdoor founders think raising money means venture capital. Andrew Luter of Rio Chato Investments spends much of his time talking founders out of taking money and, instead, helps them to see what options they have that may be a better fit. He breaks down why most outdoor businesses are the wrong shape for VC, and why using equity to solve a cash-flow problem is like taking out a splinter with a chainsaw. We cover the funding tools founders overlook, the big wholesale orders that can quietly kill small brands, why coachability beats product and pitch, and the "danger zone" where a brand is too big to be small and too small to be big.Topics covered in the episode:When raising equity is the wrong moveThe REI/big-box order as a working-capital trapUnderused funding: PO financing, revenue-based financing, CDFIs, friends and familyWhy coachability beats product and pitchThe "danger zone": too big to be small, too small to be bigCommunity-first brands as the next wave in outdoorLinksAndrew's SubstackRio Chato InvestmentsHeather Kelly's SubstackConnect with Andrew on LinkedInConnect with Christian on LinkedInRegister for the KORE SummitThe KORE Podcast is a production of the Kootenay Outdoor Recreation Enterprise.

More polls are showing some softening support for Mark Carney and the Liberals, while the NDP moves into double-digits. But the trend line isn't conclusive — except when it comes to the Conservatives, who have shown little life in the polls with one new survey putting the party at a level not seen since before Pierre Poilievre became party leader.This week on The Numbers, we take a look at the national polling landscape, which seems to be in a moment of some flux. Then, we take a look at the approval ratings of provincial premiers, including Doug Ford's dropping support. We also dissect new provincial polls out of Alberta, where Danielle Smith's referendum drive might be hurting the UCP, British Columbia, where the B.C. Conservatives are up following Kerry-Lynne Findlay's leadership victory, and Quebec, where the PQ has opened up a wider lead over the slumping Liberals. Then, Philippe closes with a 1957-themed Quiz.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

Flow Metals Corp CEO Scott Sheldon joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's flagship Sixty Mile Gold Project in Yukon and ongoing exploration efforts at its New Brenda copper project in British Columbia. Sheldon highlighted Sixty Mile as a compelling exploration opportunity located within one of Yukon's historic placer gold districts. While the region has produced significant placer gold over many years, the primary bedrock source of that mineralization remains largely undiscovered. According to Sheldon, the project benefits from a combination of “legacy, scale and momentum.” Over several years, Flow Metals has consolidated approximately 140 square kilometres of prospective ground and applied modern geological interpretation techniques to extensive historical exploration data. This work has helped identify multiple drill targets across a large gold-bearing trend. The company has also expanded its land position through acquisitions and strategic staking, increasing its control over a major thrust fault corridor to approximately 20 kilometres of strike length. Management believes this structure served as a key pathway for mineralizing fluids and could play an important role in localizing gold deposits. Importantly, Flow Metals has secured a Class 3 exploration permit that allows for significant drilling activity over the coming years. While the company has not yet secured financing for a drill program, Sheldon noted that the project is drill-ready and positioned for future advancement. The discussion also covered the New Brenda copper project in British Columbia, where Flow Metals is evaluating a potential blind copper porphyry system using geophysical surveys while continuing permitting activities. The company believes the project hosts characteristics consistent with large-scale porphyry mineralization and remains a key component of its exploration portfolio. With advanced permitting, expanded land holdings, and multiple exploration targets identified, Flow Metals believes both Sixty Mile and New Brenda offer significant discovery potential as it advances its exploration strategy. #proactiveinvestors #flowmetalscorp #cse #fwm #newbrenda #SixtyMileGold #GoldExploration #CopperExploration #YukonMining #BritishColumbiaMining #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #PorphyryCopper #ResourceExploration

This week, our guest is the Honourable Brian Jean, Alberta's Minister of Energy and Minerals. The conversation was recorded at an ARC Financial event in Calgary on June 9. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has underscored the importance of energy security and supply diversity. This, along with more supportive federal policies, is raising expectations for growth in Alberta's oil and gas sector. On the podcast this week, Jackie asks Minister Jean about Alberta's opportunity to expand oil and gas production, including: Is the Strait of Hormuz closure and the Iran war reshaping how people view Canadian energy? What is Alberta's goal for oil production growth, and what changes, regulatory and otherwise, are supporting that goal? How does Alberta benefit from the build-out of LNG export capacity on the West Coast? The Canada–Alberta MOU outlines a plan to submit a 1 MMB/d oil pipeline to reach Asian markets to the Major Projects Office, with the aim of starting the regulatory review by early July. What is its status, and does the decision on the large oil sands CCS project affect the path forward? Are discussions underway with BC on the pipeline and with local communities, including Indigenous groups? And what are Alberta's opportunities in mineral production and, potentially, processing? Content referenced in this podcast: Canada Government, Overview of Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All (June 4, 2026) Global Energy Show (June 9 to 11, 2026) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/Check us out on social media:X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteSubscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Closing the systemic healthcare gap for First Nations communities requires more than government support; it demands a radical shift toward self-determined, community-led philanthropy. In this conversation, we are joined by Nathania Fung, inaugural CEO, and Dr. Ruth Williams, Board Chair of the First Nations Health Foundation, to explore how they are bridging critical funding and knowledge gaps across British Columbia. By grounding their work in holistic wellness, cultural wisdom, and trust-based relationships, they illustrate how a community-driven approach can accelerate infrastructure development and empower Indigenous leadership. Listeners will gain insights into the necessity of moving beyond traditional funding models, the importance of social determinants in holistic health, and the transformative potential of donor partnerships that honor the unique needs and autonomy of First Nations peoples.

A timber column can survive the heating phase of a fire resistance test and still collapse later, after the flames are gone. We know there is so much more to structures in fires than the test demonstrates, but how much exactly do we know about timber nowadays? In this episode we try to dive deeper and discuss mass timber fire safety, structural fire engineering, and what a fire resistance rating does and does not tell us. I'm joined by Dr. Felix Wiesner from the University of British Columbia, this year's IAFSS Proulx Award recipient, to unpack his review on mass timber load-bearing capacity in fire across scales. We start where most design decisions begin: full-scale furnace tests and the practical reality that many modern timber elements are too large, too new, or too costly to test under load. From there we dig into the reduced cross-section method, charring rate assumptions, and the controversial “zero-strength layer” that turns heated wood into a simplified design allowance, even as uncertainty and code-to-code differences persist. Then we turn to the decay phase and delayed failure, connecting recent column results to the bigger question of performance-based design for compartment fires that heat and cool. To model that behaviour, we need credible links between temperature, strength reduction, and elastic modulus reduction, and we need to care about how the data were generated: steady-state oven tests versus transient tests where timber is loaded first and heated with steep gradients. Finally, we go down to the microscale and nanoscale, where moisture migration and even hydrogen-bond changes in cellulose help explain why “loaded while heating and cooling” can permanently reshape capacity. If you work with mass timber buildings, timber fire design, Eurocode approaches, or structural safety in fire, this is a deep reset on what matters most. Read about the IAFSS Awards here https://www.iafss2026.com/awardsRead the whole paper with a more in-depth view on the subject "From nano-to megastructure: A review of mass timber load-bearing capacity in fire"----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Harmony sits down with her fellow Canadian and spinal energetics colleague, Mel Brandt — chiropractor, coach, and founder of a new paradigm for healer-entrepreneurs. After 18 years building a multidisciplinary chiropractic clinic in Kelowna, BC, Mel recently sold her practice to step fully into the work she believes she was always meant to do: helping healers clear the energetic and subconscious blocks that keep them playing small in their businesses and their lives. What begins as a conversation about spinal energetics quickly opens into something much larger: the emotional roots of physical pain, the limiting scope of institutional medicine, the spiritual initiation of selling a business you built from scratch, and the deep identity work required to ask yourself, "Who am I without what I do?" Mel shares how a back injury she couldn't heal using conventional methods led her to German New Medicine — and the revelation that her pain was actually part of a healing phase, not a sign that something was broken. She traces her path from that awakening through subconscious coaching, spinal energetics training, and ultimately the decision to fully release her clinic identity and build something new. Together, Harmony and Mel explore why healers so often undervalue their services, what makes coaching categorically different from training, and why the discomfort of evolving is — for both of them — far less painful than the discomfort of staying put. This episode is for anyone navigating a calling that doesn't fit inside the box they've been living in. Key Topics Covered Spinal energetics as a bridge between physical anatomy and energetic healing German New Medicine and the emotional-conflict roots of chronic pain Why BC chiropractic scope limits prevented integration of energy work Identity dissolution: releasing 18 years as a clinic owner The healer's wound: compassion, undervaluing services, and the fear of being salesy Coaching vs. training — the mirror vs. the curriculum Insurance-covered care and the mindset it creates in clients Accountability, skin in the game, and 'jumping timelines' Outgrowing professional communities without making it mean something about you Spinal energetics as ritual: structure holding spontaneous transformation About Mel Brandt Mel Brandt is a chiropractor, certified spinal energetics practitioner, and business coach based in Kelowna, British Columbia. She founded and ran a multidisciplinary health clinic for 18 years, growing it to 16 practitioners before selling in early 2026 to focus entirely on her coaching work. Mel now helps healers, coaches, and practitioners expand their impact, clear subconscious blocks, and build businesses that are aligned with their deeper purpose.

Are the Meindl Glockner GTX boots the perfect choice for alpine hunters — or just too much boot for most terrain? After 100+ days in the field, I put these boots through their paces across goat hunts, creek crossings, and even a glacier with fully automatic crampons. This is a real-world, no-BS review for serious hunters who want gear that performs when it matters.

A new report from Rentals.ca indicates British Columbia is leading Canada in terms of declining asking rental prices. The report says the average asking price for a one-bedroom apartment declined by 5.4 per cent year-over-year in May. Craig Jones, the associate director of Housing Assessment Resource Tools at UBC, joins the show to discuss what these price patterns mean for the overall housing outlook in the province.

When a company changes its name, sharpens its focus and adds technical leadership with deep Nevada experience, the change is worth noting. Maverick Gold and Silver did not simply rebrand in April 2026. It began building a more focused precious metals story around Nevada, one of North America's most established gold producing jurisdictions.Ian Foreman, VP Exploration, said Nevada was a major reason he joined Maverick. Peter Baxter, Senior Technical Advisor, brings decades of geological and capital markets experience, including extensive field experience in Nevada and 15 years in mining investment banking at Scotiabank. Together, they are helping advance Jericho and Gator, two Nevada gold-silver projects with strong surface indicators, historic work and clear next steps toward drill targeting.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWNevada Focus: Jericho expanded 370% to 1,683 acres on April 30, 2026, after Maverick staked 62 new claims to cover more of the mineralized system.Historic Validation: Jericho has seen small-scale mining and historic exploration, but according to Peter Baxter, it has no recent drilling. Management believes the project was overlooked due to portfolio history, not a negative geological conclusion.Systematic Work Underway: Maverick has 170 samples in the lab from Jericho from systematic sampling across the property. Historic samples cited in the interview included approximately highs of 3.4 g/t gold and 1,200 g/t silver.Gator sits near Battle Mountain in Nevada, with year-round access, a hydrothermal system extending over 7 kilometers and multiple target areas. The company has an existing drill permit in place and is working on permit modifications for GSX and Gator South.Third Project Advancing: Silver Vista in British Columbia remains a key part of the portfolio. Maverick has completed a flow-through financing, has a funded drill program planned and is only awaiting the required drill permit before the drill turns.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSFor junior explorers, jurisdiction matters as much as geology. Grade can attract attention, but location can determine how efficiently a project moves from concept to exploration, and eventually through more advanced stages if results justify it. Nevada offers a rare combination of gold endowment, infrastructure, mining history, technical expertise and an established regulatory framework.That is why Maverick's pivot to Nevada is important. The company is not trying to tell a broad, scattered story. It is concentrating on two projects in a jurisdiction where large gold systems are well understood and where experienced geologists can use modern tools to revisit ground that may not have been fully tested.Peter Baxter pointed to Nevada's major gold belts as mature but not exhausted. He noted that much of the production in north central Nevada has occurred within recent decades, while deeper exploration continues to change how known districts are understood. In his view, modern geophysics, detailed mapping and deeper drill testing can still create meaningful new exploration opportunities in areas with the right surface evidence.The timing is also important. Stronger precious metals markets have increased investor attention on gold and silver exploration, especially in established jurisdictions. Maverick is positioning itself around a simple question: can modern fieldwork and disciplined drilling unlock value from Nevada projects that have surface evidence, historic validation and limited modern testing?VP Exploration Ian Foreman, discussing the company's current fieldwork:“We've got about 170 samples in the lab right now from Jericho… As for Gator, the decision to drill has been made… There is a drill permit in place for the property… we are going to modify that drill permit so that we can put a couple of drill holes down into the GSX target and into Gator South. So, what work we're doing now is, in fact, not for a drill decision, but where the drill holes are going to go.”

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Brandon Raso, Variety Farms farm and operations manager, and the recent recipient of the 2026 National Outstanding Young Farmer award. Raso is a fourth-generation grower at Variety Farms in Hammonton, New Jersey, where he manages over 750 acres of production. He also serves on the USHBC Council as treasurer, and is chair of the Finance Committee. Whether he's advocating for growers in D.C. or implementing the latest mechanical harvesting tech at home, he's at the forefront of the “next gen” movement. “We obviously have a lot of runway left with reaching higher consumption levels and, so, I just think there's a lot of light at the end of the tunnel on this, and it's something we don't have to fight tooth and nail for. I think as long as we make the right moves and stay conscious about the decisions we're making, I think this thing is naturally going to catapult itself into a new category in terms of consumption, people realizing the benefits and reaching new audiences. It's like we're so fortunate to be part of this.” – Brandon Raso Topics covered include: An introduction to Raso and his work. The history Raso represents as a fourth-generation grower.The impact he's having on the industry due to his involvement at the local and national levels. Where he sees the most potential for growth in the industry. Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

In episode 251 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explores identity, resilience, and rebuilding after public scrutiny for veterans and first responders navigating career disruption, reputation loss, and life after service. You'll hear Kwesi Millington on what happens when one moment changes everything, and what it takes to rebuild purpose, identity, and a future when the career you expected disappears.Former RCMP officer and now resilience keynote speaker Kwesi Millington shares a story that starts far before policing and goes far beyond the incident that made international headlines.Raised in Toronto by a single mother after emigrating from Trinidad and Tobago, Kwesi describes a childhood that was ordinary by his standards. No clear career calling. No lifelong dream of becoming a police officer. He moved through school, completed a Bachelor of Commerce with a focus in finance, worked office and government jobs, and felt disconnected from the life he imagined for himself. Then one moment changed direction. Watching a police officer while walking a strike line, he realized he wanted work that put him outside, serving people and doing something that felt meaningful.That decision led him into the RCMP. He trained in Regina, Saskatchewan, entered frontline policing in British Columbia, and expected to build a long career. Instead, only a few years into service, a call at Vancouver International Airport became the defining event of his life. Kwesi walks through that night, the death that followed, the public reaction, the viral footage, internal conflict, investigations, public inquiry, and the long legal aftermath that eventually ended his policing career.But this conversation doesn't stop there.Kwesi talks openly about moral injury, accountability, identity collapse, incarceration, and the reality of trying to re-enter society carrying a criminal record and public history. He reflects on the jobs that never called back, rebuilding through personal training, and discovering that growth sometimes starts where status ends.What emerged next wasn't a return to who he was. Through fitness, Toastmasters, communication, and years of rebuilding, Kwesi found a different mission. Today he speaks to audiences on resilience, mindset, accountability, and navigating life after adversity.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Reunited and already causing trouble. My good friend Eric from British Columbia is back on the show as we meet up in Cleveland, Ohio for Peace Officer Memorial Weekend. Let's just say things escalated quickly. We do what everyone else does when they get to a big city. Drink too much booze, eat too much food, and gamble away our money to try and pay for more food and booze.In this episode, we recap the weekend so far and start to share a list of random ideas we wrote down that absolutely require listener judgment. It's messy, it's loud, it's raunchy — and it's exactly the kind of episode you expect when we're in the same room together.

The British Columbia Conservative Party hasn't won an election since, and hasn't won a seat in 50. As recently as the 2020 provincial election, the party earned just 36,000 votes. But in 2024, the party surged in popularity, nearly toppling the long-thought invincible BC NDP. Then came interparty turmoil, which led to the ousting of their leader, John Rustad, and a leadership election that went on for months. In the end, it was narrow, and the BC Conservatives elected Kerry-Lynne Findlay. Today on the Big Story, host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Mo Amir, host of This is VANCOLOUR, a daily politics and news show, to find who she is and what she'll bring to the party. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

Send us Fan MailOne bad stretch can make you believe you're stuck as the worst thing that happened to you, and that's exactly what we push back on with Jesse Lewis. Jesse is a professional stage hypnotist whose live shows vanished during Canada's COVID shutdowns, and the fallout hit fast: lost income, a divorce, and a season of life where he lived in the cab of his truck on the side of a mountain in British Columbia.We talk through what survival actually looks like when there's no clean “turning point.” Jesse shares the unglamorous details: limited service, a snowbank as a fridge, reading to stay mentally sharp, and calling his kids as often as possible. He explains why the comeback wasn't a dramatic breakthrough, but a thousand quiet choices like showing up to a job he didn't want, refusing to miss child support, and rebuilding self-respect one decision at a time.From there, we get practical. Jesse tells the story of building a hot dog cart from salvaged parts during the shutdown, turning it into a licensed operation, and eventually using that momentum to return to corporate events and stage performance. We also dig into the deeper theme of the Kindness Matters podcast: why kindness isn't weakness. Jesse frames kindness as honor, truth told with care, and boundaries that keep you from giving yourself away. If you're navigating burnout, divorce recovery, financial stress, or a total reset after the pandemic, this conversation offers real resilience tools and a reminder that you can keep moving forward.Subscribe for more stories that bring us closer together, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.Support the show

It's the unfiltered architecture of a school leadership development ecosystem that actually works — and what it means for how you lead your campus. The Ruckuscast turns 10 this year. That's 10 years of watching which principals grow and which ones stall, which leadership beliefs hold up and which ones collapse under pressure. This episode is the debrief.

Welcome to HALO Talks NYC! In this episode, in this episodes, host Pete Moore sits down with Vancouver-based fitness entrepreneurs Trevor Linden and Carl Ulmer to explore the fantastic growth behind Club 16 and She's Fit health clubs in British Columbia. From the early days of innovating women's-only fitness spaces to strategic brand evolution and ambitious expansion plans, Trevor and Carl share candid insights on adaptation, leadership, and building a values-driven organization.  They discuss how professional athletics translate to business, the increasing importance of inclusivity and wellness amenities, and what it takes to maintain a winning team culture in a rapidly changing industry. Whether you're a fitness operator, entrepreneur, or just curious how sports savvy shapes business success, this episode offers invaluable lessons and inspiration. On building fitness communities for all ages, Trevor states, "One of the best things I saw was that we had a group of, I think they're 75 years old, they go for coffee at Tim Hortons and they come in for a workout and it was a, it was exactly what we wanted to see is that is, is bringing fitness to, making it accessible for people." Key themes discussed Evolution of women's-only fitness models Brand alignment and personal reputation Transition from defense to offense post-COVID Facility upgrades and equipment trends Diversity's impact on fitness offerings Maintaining independence vs. partnering with private equity Staff culture and leadership development A Few Key Takeaways 1. Legacy of Adaptability and Innovation: Carl explained how his stepdad, Chuck Lawson, shifted from operating Gold's Gyms to pioneering women's-only fitness in British Columbia, launching Just Ladies Fitness, and later transitioning to the value-priced She's Fit brand when he noticed market trends shifting. Chuck exemplified never resting on success and continually adapting the business to meet evolving needs, which became a fundamental company value. 2. Authenticity in Leadership and Brand Alignment: Trevor described his careful assessment before putting his name on Club 16, emphasizing the importance of personal brand integrity and shared values with business partners. He insisted on active partnership rather than just lending his name for royalty, making sure his values and the company's vision matched. 3. Women's-Only Fitness is Booming: There is significant evidence of increasing demand and success in women's-only fitness spaces. Carl cited strong performance and expansion plans for She's Fit, attributing it to demographic diversity and a trend towards women seeking strength training and safer, private workout environments. Their locations are often at or over capacity, and new growth is a "no brainer." 4. Focus on Team and Culture Over Name Recognition: Both Trevor and Carl stressed that a brand name does not make a company successful; rather, it's the team and culture. They credit their deep bench of long-tenured employees, investing in people, and maintaining company values as key drivers of ongoing success, not just Linden's celebrity. 5. Growth Ambitions Are Grounded in Operational Discipline: The company has ambitious plans: aiming for 3 new She's Fit and 2 Club 16 locations annually starting in 2027, reaching about 41 locations by 2030. Despite increasing competition—including from private equity—they maintain operational independence, strong financials, and a preference for slow, quality-focused growth over rapid expansion for its own sake.

In this video, I break down the most important lessons I learned during my first full year as an outfitter across Alberta and British Columbia. From scaling my business to guiding 12 clients across three different territories, this year taught me more than I ever expected—about hunting, decision-making, pressure, and staying focused under stress. Whether you're a new guide, an aspiring outfitter, or just a dedicated hunter looking to level up, this video offers real-world insight, hard-earned advice, and a deep dive into the psychology behind better hunting decisions.  

Ian Wilks was a high-ranking leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is a former bishop, a former branch president, and a member of the stake presidency in British Columbia, with responsibility for shepherding twelve congregations and thousands of members. Then-apostle Dallin H. Oaks, now the 18th president and living prophet of the LDS Church, personally recruited him, interviewed him, called him, set him apart, and trained him into that role.¹ For 37 years, Ian devoted his entire life to his church. He paid tithing on his gross income. He sealed his marriage in the London Temple. He conducted hundreds of worthiness interviews. He trained bishops. He stood at pulpits and at altars. He made sacred covenants in the temple to give all he had, including his own life if required, for the building up of the kingdom on earth. In a snowstorm, the cost of those 37 years lands all at once. The thing he wanted most to be true, he learned was untrue. I spoke with Ian on my podcast Cults, Culture & Coercion and in a recent livestream. He is the co-host of the Inside Out podcast with Jim Bennett, son of the late US Senator Bob Bennett. What he told me confirms what former members of the LDS Church have been describing to me since my first book was published in 1988. The Mormon Church meets every criterion of an authoritarian cult under my BITE Model of Authoritarian Control™ and sits on the destructive end of my Influence Continuum©. Ian himself took the BITE Model self-test based on his decades of experience and scored the church at roughly 85 to 90 percent across the four dimensions of behavior, information, thought, and emotion. This group is one of the wealthiest, most influential groups in politics and its believers are over represented (compared to all other faith groups) in our FBI, CIA, Homeland security and faithful people will follow the direction of the Prophet over the Constitution (even though they swear an oath to uphold the Constitution) which should make all Americans worry.

Growing up in Southern Ontario, Mike got his start through Canada's Air Cadet program, earning a glider license at 16 and a private pilot license at 17 before nearly going the Canadian Armed Forces fighter pilot route. A heart murmur medical delay, a backpacking trip to New Zealand, and a hard reset later, he found himself building a flight school from scratch on Vancouver Island with one airplane and a jacket that said "ask me about flying."Now based on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Mike is one of Canada's leading instructors on the Pipistrel Velis Electro — the country's first electric aircraft approved for primary flight training — and he's about to embark on a brand new chapter as a bird dog pilot doing aerial wildfire fighting in BC's rugged mountain terrain.In this episode, Justin and Mike dig into the Canadian pilot training system, what it's actually like to fly and teach in an electric airplane, the unique aviation culture of the Pacific Northwest coast, and what draws a variety-hungry pilot to a career where low-level mountain flying meets public service. Plus — Mike shares what it was like to nearly make it into Canadian fighter pilot selection before a three-day paperwork deadline changed everything.Topics Covered:Canada's Air Cadet program and glider scholarshipsCanadian vs. American pilot training and instructor rating systemsFlying the Pipistrel Velis Electro — Canada's first electric flight trainerElectric aviation: where it works today and where it's headedAerial wildfire fighting and the bird dog roleBuilding a sub-base flight school on Vancouver Island from the ground upThe TBM 960's "Home Safe" emergency automation featuresWhy variety — not the airlines — has driven Mike's entire career

This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff briefly discusses two current large strikes by workers fighting back: the British Columbia nurses in Canada and the commuter rail workers in New York (LIRR). The rest of today's episode is an analysis of the 7.4 million Americans who are unemployed today, the causes and effects of that unemployment, the irrationality of that unemployment, and the current failed "policies" to deal with it.
