This conversation explores the fatherhood experiences of Roger Dundas and Matt Prestbury. Roger Dundas is the Managing Director at Konvo Media and the Publisher/Co-Founder of ByBlacks.com. Matt Prestbury is the Founder of The Black Fathers Foundation. From hearing about foundational childhood experiences that formed their perspective on fatherhood to the importance of structure and discipline to be at your best, this conversation is packed with insightful stories, humour and wisdom. Both Roger and Matt experienced family separation and estranged relationships with their own fathers growing up, which impacted them in different ways. They talk about the challenge of living without their father's positive influence, what it meant, and how they have grown as men and dads as a result. They stress the importance of having a fatherly influence at important decision-making points in life as a young man. Matt and Roger restored the relationship with their fathers as adults and talk about the difference that makes for them now. As the conversation continues, they offer best practices and tools to help dads become better people first, and better dads as a result. They talk about helping children with their mental and emotional health, listening to your children, and giving them well-rounded experiences to help them grow into confident and successful people. A common fear they share about becoming a dad was wondering, “Am I going to do a good job?” and “Am I going to screw my kids up/have I screwed my kids up?”. Working through those fears and self-doubts has helped them become better dads and men. The conversation also brings up the importance of having community for support as a man and parent. They also discuss balance, the challenges of being a black dad, the importance of having deep and meaningful conversations with your kids, and having humility and patience as a dad. The conversation ends with two powerful messages for Black Fathers: Matt says: “Enjoy every minute of it and think about the role of being a father-figure, and how you represent yourself. We are not who the world may say we are! Be a living example of the best of black fatherhood!” Roger says: “You have to take care of yourself first! You have to work on being a better person first – body, mind and soul! Think positive thoughts and hang around positive people. “ Conversation Takeaways: Father-ly advice is important at decision making points in a child's life Becoming a better person helps you be a better dad Surrounding yourself and your children with the right people makes a big difference Conversation Highlights: 01:25   Introductions 04:24   Early childhood experiences with their fathers 12:17   Dealing with losing the relationship with their father  21:06   Fears about becoming a dad and how you start to look at life differently 26:01   Matt being a young dad and “winging it” 31:00   Helping children and supporting their mental and emotional well-being 34:10   Roger – importance of well-rounded experiences for children 36:00   Balancing it all 45:55   Experiences that have helped them become better dads 49:55   Having real conversations that men need to have 52:20   Essential skills needed for being a dad 57:15   Importance of having humility as a dad, and showing respect to your children 1:03:17 Special message for black fathers About Roger Dundas Roger is the publisher and co-founder of Byblacks.com – Canada's top ranked online magazine that focuses on black Canadian news and information.

Merry Christmas! (Though this is far from a holiday-themed podcast.) Yes, it’s a transit themed podcast this Christmas week as we go backward to the Transit Summit and Town Hall hosted by the Transit Action Alliance of Guelph (TAAG) that happened in November to hear from the three out-of-town guests who took part in the festivities. First, there's Vincent Puhakka of the advocacy group TTCRiders. Puhakka has written for the Toronto Star, Torontoist, and Spacing Magazine; and promoted transit action on Newstalk 1010 radio and CBC Metro Morning. At the Transit Summit, Puhakka talked about some of the ways his group has been successful in promoting action on transit in Toronto, and how people can follow in their example. After that it's Sean Marshall, who is a Toronto-based geographer and writer with an interest in public transportation, pedestrian safety, and local politics. Marshall actually appeared on the Guelph Politicast in advance of the Transit Summit, and he talks here again about the long-term challenges of transit development, how preconceived notions stifle innovation, how different transit options have had difficulty getting off the ground, and how we can all help them grow and expand.  And finally, we’ll hear from Terry Johnson, who has been actively involved in campaigning for better bus and train services across Southwestern Ontario since 2011. He's served on the board of Transport Action Ontario for two years, and was elected national president of Transport Action Canada in May 2019. Johnson talked about Transport Action's efforts to raise awareness about the tremendous holes in transit service in Southwestern Ontario, including a report they wrote a couple of years trying to get more attention to the problem. These three speakers layout an interesting case about getting to work on all that needs to be done to deal with the lack of transit options across the province. The challenges are certainly great, but at the same time they made the case that there’s a lot of different things people can do as advocates and users to encourage the creation of more transit options here, and around Ontario. So let's talk about getting better transit options for Christmas on this holiday edition of the Guelph Politicast! If you want to hear more from TAAG, you only have to wait until next week’s edition of the Guelph Politicast for a quarterly discussion on transit issues with TAAG, and our recurring segment, The Transit Pass. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean. Find more episodes of the Politicast here, or download them on your favourite podcast app at iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify. Also, when you subscribe to the Guelph Politicast channel and you will also get an episode of Open Sources Guelph every Monday, and an episode of End Credits every Friday.

Episode 12 – Getting Media Attention for your Business with Jennifer SinghJennifer Singh is a TV reporter turned Media Coach. She works exclusively with women entrepreneurs and small business owners to help them get media exposure for their products and services. Jennifer started working as a reporter at the age of 18, at CTV in Scarborough. She explains how as a general assignment reporter any story can be thrown at you at any time. It teaches you to be very agile, being able to turn nothing into something. Often, she would go to an assignment that she knew nothing about, then have to quickly turn it into news. She knew that being a reporter was not something that she wanted to do for her whole life, in the back of her mind she knew she would make a shift at some point in her life. Jen and I talk about how there's not enough representation of females in media, she would like to help to amplify the female voice, and there's no time like right now with everything that's happening in the world. Her number 1 mission? To help women amplify voice and be their authentic self. She is the expert at helping female business owners pitch their business to the media, her clients routinely get on radio and television and are invited to podcasts. Jen's clients have been featured on The Social, Global News, CP24 Breakfast Television, CBC Metro Morning (radio show), and CTV News. Many of the small business owners she's worked with didn't know where to start or knew the full power of media.With her history as a reporter, Jen has become so in tune with what the media wants, she is able to pitch the story to the right news cycle, she often knows what topics are trending, she uses this as a tool for writing her pitch. Everyone has a story to tell; you just need to know how to figure out how to connect it to the news cycle.Should we be using our media features as our content? Yes! We should be sharing the audio clips and videos as content to help us grow our brand and build our credibility online! This exposure acts as double duty; do one interview then share it on multiple social media platforms. Traditional media sources were radio, TV and print. Modern media is now social media; our audience is not always able to tune in live, which is why sharing it on social media has become so important. A client of Jenn's had an interview with CTV, which CTV then shared on their FB page; the video was viewed over 10k times in 3 days. Getting into the media isn't as hard as people think it is!

Youth for the most part, they understand the rules but usually hate playing by them, and question why they’re there to begin with. In their eyes issues like gender and equality are night and day and they question why don't adults understand? So how do we teach youth when adults are fighting this battle as well. How do we teach boys when men are confused as well? This episodes includes conversations with Carrie Starbuck from Happy Lands and Nick Sandor from Man Made A clip from CBC Metro Morning with Matt Galloway is included

What makes a city runnable?  Is there a race for every season? A club for the speed demons, the rookies, and beer drinkers alike? Clean air and access to safe trails? Or, ready access to water fountains and public washrooms for regular and irregular pit-stops? On this week's episode of The Shakeout we bring you the first in a series of episodes featuring the great Canadian running cities and this week we take you on a tour of Toronto with CBC Metro Morning host, proud Torontonian and runner Matt Galloway. For Galloway, who spends most of his time talking, running provides a way to explore his city in silence and simply to observe.
