Chapman dropped out of school in 1966 to pursue playing in a rock and roll band. In 1968, his band, The Bluesmen Revue, signed a recording contract with Columbia Records in the U.S. that saw the release of "Spin the Bottle". The band split up in early 1969 after their record deal ended following a disagreement with their U.S. management company and their dissatisfaction with Columbia's plans for the band. In 1970, Chapman joined Canadian showband Leather and Lace and eventually played bass for rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins in 1972. In 1972,Chapman and partners started a musician management company and opened Springfield Sound Studios, where, among others, folk musician Stan Rogers recorded his albums Turnaround and Fogarty's Cove.After having toured with his own band in the early 1980s, in 1986 Chapman returned home to London and built another recording studio. He started a second jingle company where he wrote and recorded the "Tear 'Em Up Tigers" theme song for the London-based Detroit Tigers farm team. It gained international recognition as an anthem for the organization on its way to a US Eastern League baseball championship in 1989, in addition to getting local media coverage and raising thousands of dollars for charity.In 1988, Chapman was contracted to write novelty songs for Peter Garland's top-rated morning show on CFPL 980 Radio. Some of his songs were heard across Canada on the CBC, including "Stand Up for Canada, Eh!", recorded by the True Grit Band that at times included Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and future City of London Mayor Joe Fontana, and used as the theme for a nationwide campaign to promote Canadian unity during the 1995 Referendum.In 1992, Chapman was offered a job as a talk show host at London's CJBK Radio. After a year there, and a subsequent two-year stint at CKSL, he returned to CJBK as the host of Talk of the Town. He was later hired as a news commentator on CFPL television and also hosted the thrice-weekly Jim Chapman Show interview show evenings on the Rogers TV Network for several years. He was a columnist with The London Free Press and Business London magazine for two decades, and was the first person in London media to host his own radio and TV shows while also writing regular newspaper and magazine columns.Chapman had an unsuccessful run in the Ontario Provincial Election for the Progressive Conservatives.In 2023 Chapman was inducted into the London Music Hall of Fame along with his fellow 1960's Bluesmen Revue band members.Near-death experienceIn 1999, Jim Chapman suffered a fatal heart attack and was left brain-dead in a local ER. He was eventually resuscitated, but not before having a near-death experience. Emergency surgery after a second serious heart attack just days later left him very ill and incapacitated for several months. He used the time to tell the story of what he called his "adventure" in a book, Heart and Soul, that became a regional bestseller and generated thousands of dollars for charity. For the next few years, in addition to his media work, Chapman travelled extensively, speaking about his near-death experience and its aftermath.After a serious illness in 2005, Chapman was inspired to write another book, Come Back to Life, that related the story of the years since his near-death experience and how his life in the interim had been affected by it.  www.jimchapman.caBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.

In this week's episode of Handle Your Business, I tackle the report that the NFL was interested in moving the Los Angeles Chargers to London, England permanently. Currently, the Chargers are slated to play next year in the new stadium built by the Los Angeles Rams in Englewood, Calif. To examine the viability of an NFL franchise in London, I talk with ProFootballNetwork.com video producer and Birmingham, England-based Miami Dolphins' fan Niamh O'Connor. I also talk about the stories broken by Tony Pauline about the return of N.Y. Jets owner Woody Johnson and the implications for Adam Gase. There's even breaking news on Dak Prescott's contract as well as updates on both Antonio Brown and last week's big story, Trent Williams. In the discussion about London, Ms. O'Connor and I look at the attractiveness of the city as a place to live, the possible difficulties with travel, and perhaps the most important factor in any franchise's ability to succeed. The nature of NFL fandom in the United Kingdom. Will fans who adopted other NFL teams drop them to support the team in London. Will the team be able to generate the necessary interest in leaner years.

Today I welcome Diana House, the CEO of Fast Forward Ventures, a Canadian private financing company focusing on private mortgages in Ontario, a real estate investor, private lender, and a lawyer turned award-winning serial entrepreneur who has been building businesses in the e-commerce and real estate spaces for nearly a decade.

Diana House is a lawyer turned serial entrepreneur who is obsessed with empowering entrepreneurs around their business finances. She has been featured as one of the top female entrepreneurs in Canada by the w100 and also recognized as a top 20 under 40 entrepreneur by Business London. Diana has built a highly profitable 7 figure company, been on Dragon's Den (the Canadian version of Shark Tank), done a successful crowdsourcing campaign and sold two businesses in the e-commerce space. She now works with her fellow entrepreneur husband on Fast Forward Ventures a company focussed on private financing and commercial real estate investing. Diana currently consults 1-on-1 with entrepreneurs on their business’ finances and is writing "the" book and course on entrepreneur finance "by an entrepreneur." What do you think has contributed to your success? Diana would like to say it was talent but admits it was grind. She is not one of those people that think you need to grind your whole life and work 60-80 hours a week. But she got to where she is today through hard work and determination. When her companies were in start-up mode she worked her butt off. There are certain seasons where you need to have laser focus and, determination and do whatever it takes. So let’s talk about your first business and the grind there. What did that really look like when you were first starting out? After applying for creative roles and not getting a single interview Diana was struggling. This was her time to get out there and start adding value to the world, but no-one wanted her. One day she went to a job fair and instead of applying for a job, she ended up applying for a business grant. She received a $3000 to start a new company. The day she launched her e-commerce website she paid for the site in a single day and did over $10K in sales. This company was Tiny Devotions which sold mala beads and yoga inspired jewelry. This was the first company to make a product in this niche in North America. After you decided not to become a layer you started making mala beads. How did that come about? After law school, knew she didn’t want to be a lawyer but didn’t have a better plan. So she sold all her belongings and fled to Bali where she signed up for a yoga teacher training. In Bali, she started to look for a business idea. She came up with 3 ideas, import art from Bali, do yoga teaching and retreats or create yoga jewelry. She had followed the rise of Lululemon and could see that yoga was growing in popularity and an industry was springing up around it. Where did money fit into her mindset? Diana knew she was going back to Canada from Australia in 2 months and that that was when reality was to set in. She felt going to Bali was her last opportunity to do something crazy before going back to Canada and she even went into debt in order to go. When she went back to Canada she did a legal placement while living with her parents. After a talk from her father, she realized she needed to minimize her discretionary spending and pay off her debt. After that experience, she decided to learn to manage her money and never be in debt again. How did you find customers when you launched? What worked 10 years ago would not work now. She used social media and influencer marketer – before influencer marketing was a thing. She did this by sending products to influential yoga teachers. With her current company, which she started 3 months ago, she is not yet doing paid marketing. Although she has the money for it, at this stage in the company she is leveraging relationships she has built over the years to get access to audiences. What has been your experience with exits? The second company she created was actually sold first. This was an e-commerce sock company that was also a social enterprise company. It loaned profits from the socks to entrepreneurs in Cuba. Tiny Devotions became successful very quickly, but Diana struggled to feel in alignment with the business for many years. It took 2 years to sell the business and she had 20 deals fall apart before she was able to sell the company. Now looking back, she realizes she should have started the process of selling the company as soon as she started to fall out of alignment with it. What advice would you give to someone who wants to make a transition because they are out of alignment? Having awareness is really important and coaches can really help with that. Diana worked with career transition coach Rikke Hansen for a year when she decided to sell Tiny Devotions. She also points out that it is important to take baby steps and that trial runs can be extremely helpful. I’d love to hear about your current business. What are you offering? Diana has a private lending company that gives loans to people who banks won’t finance. She is also a commercial real state developer and investor. These are things she runs concurrently with her entrepreneurial ventures. Since she had experience in the finance space she decided to start providing financial consulting to entrepreneurs. She is currently started working 1 on 1 with entrepreneurs in her network, taking them through the framework she has developed over the past 10 years. In the spring she will be launching the Profit Accelerator which will be a group-based program for entrepreneurs. What do you do to maintain your level of ability to perform?  She is finding that being in startup mode, she currently has an unstoppable mindset. As a Christian, she puts her faith first, with a prayer practice and regularly going to church. She finds journaling important to be reflective and self-aware. She also likes to have a community of strong women around her to call her on her bullshit. Although she loves the grind, it can be crazy and she tries to make sure that she is able to dial it back when she needs to. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? The best advice she’s been given was from her neighbor, who was a very successful entrepreneur. He told her that ‘what is more important than what you do with your life, is who you spend it with’. What’s an action step that you want to offer someone listening to this podcast? She has an opt-in on her website www.dianahouse.com that has her framework – 10 profitability essentials for entrepreneurs. Outside her own stuff, if you’ve never had a coach, hire a coach.
