Bert Terhart is an adventurer, sailor, and lifelong explorer who currently resides on a smaller island off Vancouver Island, Canada, a place with a surprisingly large population of 750,000. Originally from the prairies of Canada near Fargo, North Dakota, Bert grew up in a small, hardworking oil town, shaped by cold landscapes and a strong sense of community. His Dutch heritage, with a family background in the Merchant Marine, ignited his lifelong love of sailing. Bert joined the Canadian Army at 17, attending the Canadian military college, the equivalent of West Point. He served in the Canadian Special Service Force, an elite unit trained alongside the U.S. military, and participated in intense Cold War-era training exercises. His military experience led him to reflect on the harsh realities of war, but he ultimately left the Army and pursued a career in oceanography after being disqualified from the Navy due to colorblindness. A passion for the ocean, history, and exploration led Bert to retrace the routes of legendary explorers like Captain Cook and William Bligh, sailing over 50,000 nautical miles and navigating some of the most remote and challenging regions in the world, including the Arctic Circle and the Bering Sea. He is also known for his solo paddling expeditions across Canada and adventurous voyages in the Southern Ocean.

In today's high-pressure environments, leaders are often expected to be perpetually available, juggling numerous responsibilities without pause. However, the critical lesson that's frequently overlooked is the necessity of taking breaks. Stepping away from work isn't just about rest; it's about recharging your mental and emotional batteries, allowing you to return to your role with renewed energy, clearer vision, and a stronger sense of purpose.

In today's competitive landscape, attracting and retaining top talent is more crucial than ever, especially post-Covid. It requires a deep connection with potential hires to ensure they are the right fit and genuinely engaged. One effective approach is the "passion model" of interviewing, which aligns candidates' personal passions with organizational goals, fostering a committed workforce. Understanding what drives employees enhances their dedication and enthusiasm. A well-structured onboarding process, ideally lasting two years, with regular feedback and achievable goals, is also vital. This helps new employees feel valued and integrated from the start, boosting their long-term engagement and productivity. Creating a supportive work environment that recognizes the contributions of quiet, hardworking employees can further enhance organizational culture.

It has long been said that the United States has benefited from its geography, when it comes to national security. This is attributed to vast oceans to the east and west, along with friendly neighbors to the north and south. The same can be said for Canada, with Santa being a pretty friendly neighbor to the north, one would assume. Do to this shared advantage, which might be less true today, Canada and the United States have long worked together to secure "Fortress North America". From the defensive structures of NORAD and NATO, to the continued force projection taking on some of the biggest challenges of the day, these two countries have collaborated in a number of military spaces.While it would take too long to dive into all the shared challenges that these countries face on the global stage, we did take a special opportunity to speak with the Canadian Defense Attaché to the United States about several of the biggest issues of the day. Major General Michel-Henri St-Louis of the Canadian Armed Forces graciously gave his time to talk about NATO, NORAD, Ukraine, and the current state of Canada's military and integration with American forces. With a thirty-plus year military career, the Major General has held many high level commands across multiple theatres, as he has helped to ensure Canada upholds its international security obligations. This episode tackles important questions, from what challenges do the armed forces face in terms of readiness, what support has the Canadian government provided to Ukraine, and how our adversaries actively work to undermine important foreign policy conversations here in the US and Canada. This fascinating and unique conversation provides access to top level military thinking, accessible for all.Major-General Michel-Henri St-Louis is an infantry officer from le Royal 22e Régiment, currently serving as the Defence Attaché to the United States. Born in Managua, Nicaragua, he and his family moved to the south shore of Montreal in 1978 during the time of the Sandinista Revolution.

#034 - In this next episode, I was joined by Jeff Donaldson, PhD to kick off a new topic we haven't discussed on the podcast yet — emergency preparedness. This episode starts with a look at the topic from a micro perspective, personal preparedness, and future episodes will touch on the macro, such as corporate or public-level preparedness and resiliency.Jeff brings a tremendous amount of experience directly relating to preparedness to the podcast today, from his experience as a military officer in the Canadian Army (28 years!), as the principal researcher at Preparedness Labs Incorporated, and as an Associate Faculty member at Royal Roads University. Plus, he's earned his MA in Disaster and Emergency Management, along with his doctorate in Public Policy. All that to say, he's a wealth of knowledge for us on the subject.He even hosts a highly acclaimed podcast on preparedness and leads training sessions where he communicates (as he says), "Non-Apocalyptic evidence-based strategies for rational people with dreams."Today's conversation focused on the philosophy of preparedness, the critical role of social capital and how it increases your ability to survive and thrive, personal responsibility, and systematic thinking/planning/considerations for you and I.--- Learn more about Jeff and his projects here ---Preparedness Labs Inc: https://preparednesslabs.ca/Inside My Canoehead (Podcast): https://insidemycanoehead.ca/-- Get the resources and show notes mentioned in this episode --https://thesecuritystudent.com/shownotes
