Podcasts about Kelowna

In this episode, I'm doing a full reflection on the sixth annual Audacious Woman Retreat I hosted in Kelowna this past June.   This isn't just a recap. It's a conversation about something I believe with every fiber of my being: the room is the most powerful business tool you will ever step into, and sometimes, you have to be brave enough to build it yourself. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why I hosted five women in my rented home for five days, and what emerged that no agenda could have planned The difference between information and knowledge  Why the "right room" has nothing to do with celebrity coaches, luxury venues, or million-dollar masterminds What I've learned after six years of hosting these retreats: the room doesn't actually exist until the humans arrive The concept of "stacking evidence" Why vulnerability creates speed in business (and why pretending you have it together is costing you years) The lobster theory of women in business  Why confidence is contagious, and what happens when one woman asks the hard question out loud My reflection on leadership: I'm not better than the women in the room, I'm just a little further along A permission slip for the woman who has been waiting to feel "ready enough" to gather her people   Let's dive in!

May 26, 1989. Kelowna, British Columbia. While taking a lengthy backpacking trip through Canada, 20-year old British national Charles Horvath cashes a cheque at a bank, but soon vanishes without a trace. After not hearing from him for several months, Charles' mother, Denise Allan, travels to Kelowna to perform a search and learns that Charles was staying at a local campground until he abruptly disappeared and left his personal belongings behind. Over the years, there are a number of leads, including an anonymous note which states that Charles was killed at a party before his body was dumped in a lake, but no evidence is found to indicate what happened to him. Did Charles Horvath become a victim of foul play? If not, what actually caused his disappearance? On this week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we cover an unsolved missing persons case involving a victim who vanished while travelling through our podcast's home country of Canada.If you have any information about this case, please contact the Kelowna detachment of the RCMP at (250) 762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).Support the show:Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Charles_Horvath-Allanhttps://unsolved.com/gallery/charles-horvath/https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Charles_Horvathhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/mother-spends-40000-pounds-trying-to-trace-son-1556520.htmlhttps://globalnews.ca/news/71198/search-for-missing-son-brings-mother-back-to-kelowna/http://globalnews.ca/news/1169821/still-no-sign-of-charles-horvath-25-years-later/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/charles-horvath-allan-s-mother-makes-last-effort-in-search-of-answers-for-missing-son-1.3076705https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/u-k-mom-has-new-hope-of-finding-out-what-happened-to-her-son-30-years-after-he-disappeared-in-b-c-1.5705896https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/we-re-still-searching-for-answers-mother-determined-to-solve-30-year-old-case-of-missing-son-1.4846262https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/the-30-year-search-for-the-u-k-s-most-famous-missing-sonhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/incredible-choir-bound-together-heartache-7919460https://www.kamloopsbcnow.com/watercooler/news/news/Kelowna/GoFundMe_started_in_last_ditch_effort_to_find_Charles_Horvath_who_disappeared_without_a_trace_in_Kelowna_34_years_ago/https://www.newspapers.com/image/504855528/https://www.newspapers.com/image/494974095/https://crimeblogger1983.blogspot.com/2019/04/murdered-in-canada-karoly-charles-john.html

In the spring of 1989, twenty-year-old Charles Horvath-Allan arrived in the Canadian city of Kelowna, British Columbia.  Like so many young backpackers, he was chasing adventure. He picked up odd jobs, met new people, and settled into a campground near the shores of Okanagan Lake.Then one day, he was simply gone.His tent was still standing. His clothes were still there.  His passport, his photographs, and nearly everything he owned had been left behind. But Charles was nowhere to be found.There would be rumors whispered around town.  Anonymous letters delivered under mysterious circumstances.  Stories, allegations, and claims that people knew exactly what happened but were too afraid to talk.Listen as we dive into Canada, the case of Charles Horvath-Allen, and how to stay alive on vacation.Do you have a story to share?

Ryan Markewich is a landscape entrepreneur and business advisor based in Kelowna, British Columbia. He founded Creative Roots Landscaping over 30 years ago and has since transitioned the company to an employee ownership model, selling 85% of the business to key team members. For nearly two decades, Ryan has operated using open-book management, building a highly engaged team that understands the financials and participates in improving them.

Hello from Kelowna fight fam!I'm on vacation currently, but still PUMPING out pods for the people! Today I talk to fighter and coach out of Pu'u Muay Thai in Ventura California Zach FLASH Flores! Zach had a big fight about 1 month ago at the COOLEST gym ever in Vegas (One Kick's Gym) and came away with a BEAUT of a KO - so, I wanted to have a chat about it!!I ask Zach to breakdown the KO for us in real time as well the fight up to the finish. We chat about his fight style he USED to have, to what he has turned it into. Of course I ask Zach who his favourite fighters are and if he had an opportunity to train with one fighter exclusively for 1 week - who would it be?I also ask Zach about why he competes and what he wants out of Muay Thai fighting? while most chase title and glory - for Zach, his titles and glory are his self respect!! Zach lets us in on how childhood trauma mixed with anger, lack of self confidence, but yet with an overwhelming feeling of needing to protect his family as a Cub, brought him to the Muay Thai life. Zach tells us that he still has to deal with those "demons" from his past - but through Muay Thai he's found purpose, drive and the competition to help scratch the itch. MORE IMPORTANTLY - in a positive, team oriented atmosphere and encouraging environment where people want to see you succeed and will champion you the whole way. THIS IS THE MARTIAL ARTS WAY!Great chat with a humble young man looking to make a name in Muay Thai for himself, as well as pass it down to the "little Zach's" of the next generation - SHOUT OUT TO YOU ZACH!!

Most of us raise our kids on autopilot, doing what our family always did without ever asking why. But here's what I've come to believe: how you raise your kids isn't about the culture you grew up in, it's about what you actually stand for. So if you want to parent on purpose instead of by default, this one's for you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why what you stand for matters more than what your family has always done Why giving kids money can ruin them How to be the example that teaches your kids to bet on themselves Why real confidence is built with strangers, not friends ✅ Want our free Couple's Playbook?

You know that feeling when something goes sideways and you react before you can stop yourself, and then you replay it all day wishing you'd handled it differently? That moment, the 90 seconds right after something goes wrong, is where everything is actually decided. It feels invisible, but it's the whole reason some people stay calm and grounded while the rest of us spiral. So if you react first and regret it later, this one's for you. In this episode, you'll learn: The one thing to do in the moment that saves you from spiralling Why your pauses are better proof of growth than your wins How to catch the moments you would have reacted before, and didn't Why regulating your emotions is the work behind everything else ✅ If your business has started to feel heavier than it should, DM me the word "CEO" on Instagram and I'll send you my free Scaling Structure Stack worksheet.

WATCH ▶️ ⁠Watch this episode on YouTube⁠ ***   EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I'm joined by Jewels Ferris   Jewels is a top producing mortgage broker from Kelowna, BC, who's not only helped over 1,000 families since becoming a broker in 2014, but also broke the $100M in yearly mortgage volume barrier. In her 12 years as a broker, she has earned industry accolades like the DLC Master Award and the CME Titan Award with DLC, the Chairperson's Club Award with Verico, and been named one of the top mortgage brokers in Kelowna five years in a row by Best of Kelowna.   Jewels was working at a restaurant in 2014 when broker Daryl French spotted her potential and brought her into his brokerage. By volunteering as an underwriter for a top producer, she compressed years of learning into months, eventually inheriting Scott Peckford's $40 million book of business just two and a half years in. After hiring key team members, she then grew to over $100M in annual mortgage volume.   On the surface, building a $100M book of business looks like a dream, but the reality included severe burnout, intense stress, and lost personal passion. Four years ago, Jewels hit her breaking point. She packed up her house, put it in storage, and took off on vacation.   Today, Jewels defines success by peace and client fulfillment rather than just raw volume, and learned how to rebuild her business, her boundaries, and herself.   Jewels is here to discuss:   → How she got started in the industry, underwriting for other brokers, and taking over Scott Peckford's book.   → What happened when she hit $100M, the final straw, and dealing with burn out.   → What she has changed in the past 4 years - saying "no", setting boundaries, and not chasing files.   → Redefining purpose and success, releasing control and allowing yourself to be human, and building good karma.   → How Jewels handles files that go sideways and advice for these challenging times in our industry. ***

George Wright III interviews Lane Martin, founder of Modern PurAir, about scaling a “boring but essential” indoor air quality service business through systems, technology, and franchising. Martin shares how he grew up in duct cleaning, bought into the family business in 1992, sold it in 1996, returned in 2001 after losing money in a furniture venture, and began scaling by hiring technicians despite initial resistance. Inspired by 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, he learned franchising lessons directly from Brian Scudamore and built a roadmap to expand. Modern PurAir now has 38 territories and 22 franchises across Canada with over $20M in system sales and is expanding into the U.S. They emphasize documenting everything with Loom/Scribe/Trainual, delegating to an 80% standard, and tracking KPIs like same-store sales growth and profitability guided by a three-year vivid vision.00:29 Meet Lane Martin01:35 From Duct Truck to Franchise03:07 Scaling Across North America04:21 Hiring First Tech Breakthrough05:50 Franchise Spark from Got Junk07:45 Operator to Visionary Shift09:20 Systems Beat Talent10:59 Documenting SOPs with Loom13:58 Delegation and the 80 Percent Rule18:12 KPIs and Vivid Vision Focus22:43 Boring Business Opportunities25:12 Indoor Air Quality Future and US Expansion27:36 Franchise Due Diligence AdviceThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

I used to think respect was something you earned by being more impressive. So I built the business, raised the babies, did the hard things, and still walked into rooms and shrank, handing my authority to whoever looked more important.

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. Her current signature programs blend spinal energetics, subconscious work, and business strategy for practitioners ready to move beyond the treatment room.   Guest Links & Resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melbrandtrewired/ https://melbrandt.com/beyond-the-table   Host Announcement: Portugal Sessions Harmony Slater will be offering in-person spinal energetics sessions in Portugal this summer:• Lisbon (Agora Lisboa): June 25–28• Faro: July 8–12DM @harmonyslaterofficial on Instagram to book.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the problem isn't that you're “too ambitious” -it's that you're surrounded by people who are uncomfortable watching you grow?In this episode, we're joined by Renee Warren, founder of The Pink Skirt Project, for a no-BS conversation on confidence, entrepreneurship, relationships, and what it actually takes to build a life that feels aligned.We get into why so many women struggle with self-doubt, why confidence is a skill you build through action, and why “balance” might be the most overrated goal of all. Renee shares how women can stop shrinking to keep other people comfortable, how to know when your work is passion versus avoidance, and why the right partner, friends, mentors, and community can either expand your vision or quietly hold you back.We also talk about motherhood, outsourcing, buying back your time, networking in a new city, and becoming the kind of woman who supports other women without jealousy, comparison, or weird competitive energy.Connect with Renée below:Website is hereInstagram is herePink Skirt Project (event is July 9th & 10th in Kelowna, BC) is hereOUR GGW MERCH LAUNCHES JUNE 16TH!

Every spring, Canadians convince themselves a lakefront cottage will "pay for itself" on Airbnb. Most won't. In this episode, Nick and Dan run the actual 2026 math — Royal LePage's $604K national median, Muskoka's slipping $950K, Atlantic Canada's 11.8% surge — and break down the $44K-a-year true carrying cost nobody mentions at the showing. They explain why the short-term rental thesis is dead in most of BC and Ontario (with a new 2026 wrinkle: Kelowna's exemption), how Muskoka's by-law 2025-049 now forces three dark weeks in peak summer. Plus the opportunity-cost comparison that makes most cottage buyers wince, and the five scenarios where buying one still makes sense. The takeaway: a cottage can be a great purchase. It's almost never a great investment. Know which one you're making. EDMONTON MULTIPLEX EVENT Try it NordVPN risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

In this episode, you'll learn: Why all the confidence-chasing in the world hasn't made you feel ready What conviction actually is, and why it holds when confidence won't How waiting to feel ready keeps you comfortable and stuck at the same time How to stop proving your worth and start deciding it Confidence was never the thing you were missing.

Lots to cover this week including, of course, a wrap from the Memorial Cup in Kelowna where the OHL won its third straight tournament title. And could anyone really touch the Kitchener Rangers this year? Plus, next year's tournament hosts -- the Guelph Storm -- get some bad news as defenseman Quinn Beauchesne bolts for the NCAA. If a guy is turning down a guaranteed opportunity to play in the Memorial Cup, what does this tell us about the CHL versus the NCAA? The winds of change also continue to blow through Niagara and Owen Sound, the Soo are planning some upgrades, the Brantford Bulldogs are looking for their next head coach, and Farwell and Dan have some thoughts about proposed changes to the Memorial Cup format. If league executives are listening, there's one proposed change that should be dismissed immediately. The OHL Podcast is supported by Draft Kings Sportsbook.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

TSN's Craig Button kicked off the show today fresh off the Memorial Cup in Kelowna. He broke down the tournament champs and answered the burning question: why has the WHL gone 12 years without a trophy? Are they actually falling behind? Plus, former Oilers prospect Sam O'Reilly was absolutely lights out—we asked Craig if Edmonton is going to deeply regret that trade. We also get his take on Manny Malhotra landing in Vancouver, and hit his official Stanley Cup Final preview.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, it was time for Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. What are the boys confessing today? Plenty of soccer talk was discussed in this segment, which brought the boys to the end of the hour.

TSN Hockey Analyst Frank Corrado joins the show to discuss his and O-Dog's time in Kelowna, his pick to win the Memorial Cup, what he's hearing surrounding the 2026 NHL Draft, and if Dobes steals the show in Game 4 at the Bell Centre.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 2 on OverDrive! The guys discuss the MLB Players Association submitting its first CBA proposal to the league and the comparisons to the NHL ahead of their previous lockouts, and Bryan shares his top five reasons for Leafs fans to be optimistic. TSN Hockey Analyst Frank Corrado joins the show to discuss his and O-Dog's time in Kelowna, his pick to win the Memorial Cup, what he's hearing around the 2026 NHL Draft, and if Dobes steals the show in Game 4 at the Bell Centre.

Our own Dustin Nielson kicked off the show this morning live from Kelowna to give us the absolute latest from the Memorial Cup. Nandy set the scene on the tournament's opening stretch, highlighting the brightest young stars turning heads on the national stage, and dropped some high praise for Everett's exceptional-status phenom, Landon DuPont, as the 16-year-old continues to look like a surefire future NHL superstar.   We then bounced around the hockey world, getting Dusty's take on the heavy-weight battle out East between the Canadiens and Hurricanes, before diving into the rumor mill to debate whether Mitch Marner could realistically find himself hoisted into a Stanley Cup championship environment next season.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break we got into some Weekly Advice for Damon Bunting. Some great advice provided by the boys today.   The one and only Eric Macramalla stops by to wrap up hour two with some classic banter! Eric breaks down the tactical momentum shifts between the Habs and Canes, and weighs in on the head-scratching coaching standoff currently gripping the Oilers' front office.

When we look at the role we play in our own suffering, we can start to change things. As I've reflected through parts of my life, I can see now that I was a people pleaser. I was okay taking on everything and doing more without recognition or compensation. I spent so much energy trying not to step on other people's toes. The reality is that we train others on what we're willing to accept. In this episode you'll discover exactly what will change when you start expecting more, and the shifts you can make to turn this into your reality. In this episode, you will learn about: What happens when you let yourself accept less than what you deserve. What happened when I stopped making myself small (and started expecting more). What was actually happening the last time you didn't ask for what you wanted. Why keeping other people content builds resentment and limits your opportunities. Where to start if you want to teach people your worth isn't up for negotiation. Why the answer isn't working harder, but charging based on the value you bring.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

The way successful women deal with doubt will shock you. My friends recently hosted a CEO Goddess Gathering in Nashville. Getting the invite was a pinch-me moment, and being there was even better.

Two sagas of snow and ice: going to Dubai via Helsinki, in that unconventional (revolutionary?) cocoon seat by Finnair, and to Kelowna (YLW) with the appropriately named Air North — snowy take offs, blueberry juice and de-icing drama (no blueberry juice was used to de-ice, but an in-flight magazine was taken).Would you fly to Dubai now? Where we stand (that jet fuel price), and where to stand in Dubai to plane spot (Paul did not say it: the metro station is called Abu Baker Al Siddique Metro Station 2).Starlink everywhere, what it means for in-flight calls, TikTok challenges, and our general quiet in an airplane (oh boy). Boarding lane clogging, and the boarding zone police (main syndrome character much?).  We both want to fly that ITA 321 business class, have you? More questions, and stories, on this episode which you can now watch on video on Apple Podcasts (bragging rights: we were one of the first ones to get video on Apple, all episodes from 150 are there now)._____A show created and hosted by Paul Papadimitriou: Instagram - LinkedInThe show is on Instagram - Facebook - Bluesky - more links on the websiteVideo and audio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and wherever you podcast.

Hiding who you truly are could be costing you millions. Have you ever admired someone online, met them, and then discovered they were exactly the same in real life? That authenticity builds even greater trust with their audience, but many ambitious women do the opposite: they default online to the polished voice.

Showing up could change everything for you. I'm speaking to the woman who, even if she hasn't said it out loud yet, is outgrowing the rooms she's in; the woman who is quietly wondering if she's ready for a new circle, or maybe just feeling ready to go all in. At this year's summit, we're gathering with courage. It's the kind that makes you brave enough to be seen as the woman you already are, but on full volume. Not attending could cost you your goals, or at the very least, delay them. In this episode, you will learn about: What I haven't told you yet about the Pink Skirt Summit (but am revealing today). The theme of this year's upcoming summit and where it came from. What the room feels like and why it resonates so much with the attendees. A few of the speakers who are joining us for the summit and what they're sharing. How we're curating the entire experience, from sponsors to vendors to speakers. Why getting women into supportive spaces is so important to me personally. What makes this opportunity so electrifying for everybody.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

Hours after being convicted of assaulting his wife Bailey McCourt, James Plover walked out of a Kelowna courthouse on existing bail. Within three hours, she was dead, killed in a parking lot in broad daylight in front of witnesses. She was 32 years old and a mother of two.This is Part 2 of a two-part series on the Bailey McCourt case. In this episode we cover the July 4th attack, the questions it raised about how the justice system handles intimate partner violence, and the national push for legislative change that followed. We spoke directly with members of Bailey's family, who have been advocating for Bailey's Law, Bill C-225, which passed second reading in the House of Commons with a unanimous 325 to zero vote. If you have not listened to Part 1, start there.PLEASE READ: Some TNTC+ episodes may be released publicly in the future.
