Send us Fan MailToronto is a city built out of neighborhoods, food, and constant surprises. We sit down with Ashley Rochefort, Media Relations Manager at Destination Toronto, to unpack what makes Canada's largest city feel so alive, from its long history to its modern identity as “the world in a city,” where roughly half of residents are born outside Canada and cultures show up block by block. We get specific about things to do in Toronto, starting with the CN Tower for panoramic views, the glass floor, and the EdgeWalk, plus the waterfront cluster nearby with Ripley's Aquarium and the Rogers Centre. From there we hit iconic stops like Casa Loma with its seasonal programming. Museum favorites including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the unexpectedly fascinating Bata Shoe Museum.We talk Toronto's legendary diversity of authentic eats, and the fusion that comes with it, including the Toronto-invented sushi pizza, peameal bacon sandwiches at St. Lawrence Market, and the city's serious love for Jamaican patties. We also map out walkable neighborhoods like the Distillery District and Kensington Market. Toronto's natural beauty includes beaches, parks, High Park cherry blossoms, and a quick ferry ride to the Toronto Islands. Finally, we connect the dots to a Niagara Falls day trip and the Niagara wine region, plus summer festivals, the CNE, and nightlife hotspots. **Ashley Rochefort isMedia Relations Manager at Destination Toronto. She loves her city and has done the Edge Walk on CN Tower. Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

This week, we're talking about what happens when sales and marketing either work beautifully together… or stare at each other across the office wondering who dropped the lead-shaped ball.We dig into the classic sales-versus-marketing tension: marketing says sales ignores the resources and leads, sales says marketing sends things that look suspiciously like “busy work with a logo on it,” and somewhere in the middle sits the customer, quietly wondering what problem we actually solve.We also look at what to do when there isn't a marketing department. Spoiler: marketing still has to happen. Whether it's building a clear narrative, answering customer questions publicly, or turning everyday sales conversations into useful content, we make the case that marketing is a function, not just a department with branded pens.Naturally, we also find time for a maple-syrup old fashioned, a life lesson from the CN Tower, and the shocking revelation that “more leads” is not always the same as “more sales.” Who knew? Well… apparently we should have. Sales says marketing doesn't send good leads.Marketing says sales doesn't follow up properly.Customers say, “Sorry, what do you actually do again?”In this episode, we talk about working with — or without — a marketing department, and why the real issue is usually alignment, not effort.A few things we unpacked:Marketing is not just logos, events, giveaways, or “making things look nice.” It's the function that helps the market understand who you help, what problems you solve, why those problems matter, and why anyone should trust you.Sales is not just waiting for perfect leads to arrive in a neatly wrapped bow. If the marketing function disappeared tomorrow, someone still has to build credibility, create conversations, and help customers move from “vaguely interested” to “yes, this might actually solve my problem.”The big takeaway for us: sales and marketing need to align not just on the big commercial outcome, but on the journey. What counts as a good lead? What happens next? Who owns each step? What metrics tell us whether the system is working, rather than just keeping everyone impressively busy?And for smaller teams without a marketing department, we shared a simple cheat code: when a customer asks a good question, don't just answer it privately. Turn that answer into a post, article, or reusable piece of content. Then send the answer. Congratulations, you've just done marketing without needing a committee, a lanyard, or a suspiciously expensive booth backdrop.As ever, we remain humble, mostly aligned, and only mildly distracted by maple syrup cocktails.

What if a ghost is not only something we encounter in the dark, but something we may, in some mysterious way, participate in? In this special episode of Haunted Talks, Jim presents a manifesto for reimagining the paranormal. Moving beyond the familiar debate between "spirits of the dead" and "tricks of the mind," he explores a third possibility: that hauntings may emerge from a stranger relationship between memory, consciousness, place, intention, and attention. Drawing on the Stone Tape theory, quantum physics as a provocative analogy, years of Alone in the Dark investigations, and a collective experiment with more than one hundred Haunted Talks listeners during the 2024 solar eclipse, Jim asks whether the human mind may be more than a neutral observer of the unknown. He also recounts an unforgettable session at the top of the CN Tower, where a voice through a spirit box refused the label of "ghost" and, when asked where it normally resided, answered with one word: consciousness. This is not an argument for blind belief. It is an invitation to ask better questions, to move beyond gadgets and certainty, and to consider whether the mystery is stranger, wider, and closer than we think.

On the Saturday February 21, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet artist Michael Townsend. Have you heard about the Netflix movie “Secret Mall Apartment”? It’s the wildly popular story, set in the early two thousands, about a group of eight young artists and friends from Rhode Island who secretly built and lived in a hidden 750-square-foot apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall in Providence, Rhode Island. They discovered an unused "nowhere space" in the mall's structure, snuck in furniture, tapped into electricity, constructed walls (including smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock to build a fortified, lockable entrance), and even furnished it with everyday items like a TV, gaming system, books, and couches—all while filming much of the process themselves.

On the Saturday February 21, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we'll meet artist Michael Townsend. Have you heard about the Netflix movie “Secret Mall Apartment”? It's the wildly popular story, set in the early two thousands, about a group of eight young artists and friends from Rhode Island who secretly built and lived in a hidden 750-square-foot apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall in Providence, Rhode Island. They discovered an unused "nowhere space" in the mall's structure, snuck in furniture, tapped into electricity, constructed walls (including smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock to build a fortified, lockable entrance), and even furnished it with everyday items like a TV, gaming system, books, and couches—all while filming much of the process themselves.

This episode is about Toronto, Canada. See Book A for addressing this challenge. Find it on the website​​ at 5StepsToSoloTravel.com or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Toronto is another example of Step 3 travel, advanced solo travel. Other step 3 destinations in my Part B book include Banff, Whistler, and Vancouver.   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is:  Toronto, Canada, part two of two   You may arrive at Pearson airport, like I did, which was a lovely airport ranked high among international airports. I had the opportunity to experience the Priority Pass lounge both upon arrival and departure. If you have access, you'll likely enjoy it, even though the lounge was under construction. The city has a diverse mix of people from all around the world, along with a variety of flavors that come with it. Keep your eyes peeled and your nose smelling these scents.   Before I arrived, I booked my tour to Niagara Falls. Here are a few facts about Niagara Falls and why you might find it of interest I registered in my hostel, got all of my bedding, food, and bag storage set up, and then took a nap since I had been up since about 5 AM. Afterward, I went down to the CN Tower, where there was almost no line late in the afternoon.     Smart Move and Slip-up pairings    So here I was in Toronto, and believe it or not, I lost my phone for the second time. Here's what happened. I went for a swim at the local community pool and changed back into my street clothes. I left the phone in the changing room at the pool. About 30 minutes after getting home, I realized I had left it there. So I went back and got it, but there was a little bit of panic in my life, so this was the end of my trip of 90 days, and I wasn't really as concerned as I would've been at the beginning of the journey, but it was concerning that I let my defenses down. I slipped up twice within a few days. Don't do what I did; keep your focus on the things that are most important to you. For me, that was my phone and my passport. Where are you going?

  Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, coming to you from a recent trip, on a 90-day solo journey around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight   Alina, whom I met in Toronto and who hosted me for my final four nights, is trying to travel to Seattle this week, but she's been affected by the Air Canada airline strike. She's a great traveler who has visited Japan, Spain, and many European countries. She was an excellent Servas host. Look up Servas if you want to encourage world peace with cultural exchange.   Quick-fire FAQ:   The FAQ for today is: What was my favorite place during my 90-day journey? It's what I get asked nearly every day. I don't want to leave anyone out, so I usually say, 'Right here is my favorite place.' Right now, I'm home, so that's my favorite place. It's usually the NEXT trip that I'll be taking. My next trip is for work, to Las Vegas, so that's not a favorite. I can stay here for up to two nights, and then I need to get out. However, after that, it's off to Chicago soon. That will be a favorite this fall.   60-second Travelbest confidence challenge   Walk outside. Close your eyes and stop where you are. Listen to the sounds you hear. Did you catch every sound? Make a list in your mind. Continue walking and focus on what you hear. The sounds of nature or the city are there, but maybe you haven't been listening. Go ahead and do this once a week. That's your challenge. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 1 of my 5 Steps series book A dives deeper—link in description.”   See Book A for addressing all of these items. https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/   Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is:  A summary of my 90-day trip. Part One  I began my trip in South America on May 13, 2025. I charted a course to go around the world from north to south. I flew to Chicago to begin my trip and then went to Bogota, Colombia, Cartagena, and finally Medellin. I spent a total of four weeks in South America, traveling through four countries, each for one week. Some of the highlights of South America would include fantastic artwork in downtown Medellin and riding on their very sophisticated tram system. In Cartagena, I had the opportunity to explore the old town and the city walls, as well as spend a day at Isla Blanca, a resort. My second week was spent in Ecuador, where I spent several days on the island of Isabela in the Galapagos. I saw many natural wonders here on this small island. I explored the tunnels and had the opportunity to swim with sea turtles during this trip. I also saw many lizards and other unusual creatures. After arriving in Peru, I landed in Lima and then traveled to Cusco by plane, where I spent a few days acclimating to the high altitude. I spent one 19-hour day in Machu Picchu, leaving at 3 AM and arriving at about 11 PM. That was quite an adventure, and it was a beautiful day at that. I felt that I got to know the city of Lima after visiting it for the second time at the end of May, when I spent a week in Brazil. I first arrived in Rio de Janeiro and visited the Christ the Redeemer statue.   I then spent several days exploring the city before heading to the sister city across the bay in Nero, where I enjoyed the locals and the beaches. I then flew to São Paulo. I explored this vast metropolis, one of the largest cities I've ever seen. From there I flew to South Africa via Angola, and when I arrived in Cape Town, I rented a car and drove on the left side of the road for the first time. I explored the Garden Route for several days before returning to Cape Town, situated at the southernmost tip of Africa. After Cape Town, I flew to Johannesburg on another airline. I was fortunate to visit the Apartheid Museum and the homes of two Nobel Peace Prize winners, all in the same neighborhood. This is my second trip to Africa, so I was glad to see a different part of it this time. I'll finish up my summary in the next episode, so stay tuned.  Smart Move and Slip-up pairings  One of my slip-ups on this trip was losing my phone. I lost it while I was entering the CN Tower in Toronto, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. I was going through the X-ray machine, and they asked me to take off my vest. They also asked me to remove items from the pockets in the vest. They removed my phone from my pocket and dropped it in the basket when I was collecting my vest. I forgot to put the phone back in my pocket and proceeded to enter the exhibit for about five minutes. When I went to take a photo of an item on the tour, I couldn't find my phone I knew where it was so I turned around retrace my steps, made sure that they were gonna give me a reentry went into their highly secure staffing room and retrieved my phone immediately so don't slip up like I did and leave your phone behind when you're going through security, even if you seem to be a little bit nervous when you're going through there take a minute and make sure you have all your things. The smart move is to take a breath whenever you are going through a security situation. 60-second confidence challenge   Here's my challenge for you. Can you pack all of your toiletries and one small cube that will help build your confidence in many ways? Don't forget to zip up any items that could leak, especially if you have bug or mosquito protection, such as DEET, which should be double-bagged.   Resources Roundup   One of the good places to find resources is with your government agencies, such as the US consulate. Don't hesitate to check those out before you take a big trip.   Take away mantra and goodbye.   My takeaway for today is that traveling in one direction means that you don't have to double back and return to the same destination. Making a loop is a more efficient way to travel, draw a circle, and see where you can go on that journey, instead of just coming back.
