Marcia BNoose joins us for a chat about sex abuse cover ups in the disabilities industry, and with police and the start up of Barbwire Noose clothing brand. What happens after being slandered as a prostitute and having revenge porn sent out? When the cops cover up their own abuse? Why would the cops have you entered in as a cop? When the government won't allow your book to be published in the national library. We talk about human rights, organized crime laws, corruption and that government rising to power. In the second half we get more into a discussion about charities, activist causes and how her views have changed since launching Barbwire Noose, her and Darren leaving the Free Masons, extortion, missing indigenous women, slipper slope of moral compromise, sexual spirituality, witchcraft, stalked by invisible tech, our body our temple, genocide and the UN underage verbiage lately. Does we need to have human rights granted to us? They just ignore constitutions and charters of rights anyways. Why the Freemasons wussed out during crazy covid policies? Why does Australia have such a high number of Pedo's? Is satanic rituals prevalent in sex abuse and pedophilia? How do you stop being stalked by someone using Invisible Tech?

Kevins journey back from injury was not without hardship, setback, and personal struggles; but through hard work, steadfast faith, and the stalwart support of his wife Kimberlee, he recovered and went on to earn dual Master’s Degrees from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government (MPA), and the MIT Sloan School of Management (MBA). Today, Kevin’s mission is to inspire others and help with their own journeys to physical, mental, and emotional healing. Sharing his message broadly via multiple media channels (www.woundedbywar.com, https://www.facebook.com/WoundedByWar/, and Instagram @woundedbywar), he also travels and speaks widely to numerous organizations about his experiences and the lessons learned from his service, being wounded, and the recovery process.

Assigned to the 1st Special Forces Group in Fort Lewis, Washington, he deployed to the Philippines, Thailand, and twice to Afghanistan, where he suffered his career-ending injury. When he transitioned from the Army, he had achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant and had earned multiple awards and honors, including the Bronze Star Medal (two awards), Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal w/ Valor, and the Meritorious Service Medal.

Tom McCullough is Chairman and CEO of Northwood Family Office. He has spent over 35 years in the wealth management/family office field, initially in senior executive roles with RBC Wealth Management. The combination of this background, along with his own family’s desire for a truly ‘comprehensive, customized and confidential’ service, led him on a search for a multi-family office. While multi-family offices are well-developed in the U.S. and growing rapidly as wealthy families seek out objective advice and boutique-style service, they were virtually non-existent in Canada. In 2003, this led Tom to start Northwood Family Office with partner Scott Hayman. Northwood Family Office has quickly become one of the leaders in its field and has consistently been recognized as the ‘#1 independent family office in Canada’ by Euromoney in its global private banking survey. Tom is a frequent speaker on issues relevant to families of wealth and is the co-author of Wealth of Wisdom: The Top 50 Questions Wealthy Families Ask and Family Wealth Management: 7 Imperatives for Successful Investing in the New World Order. He is an Adjunct Professor and Executive-in-Residence at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management MBA program where he teaches ‘The Management of Private Wealth’, and is a faculty member in Rotman’s Family Wealth Management program for families of wealth. He is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Western University’s Ivey School of Business and a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Wealth Management. He is also a Fellow of the Family Firm Institute (FFI) and holds an Advanced Certificate in Family Business Advising from FFI. Tom holds an MBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University, as well as the CIM (Chartered Investment Manager) and CIWM (Certified International Wealth Manager) designations, and is a registered Portfolio Manager. He is married, has two adult children and is actively involved in a wide range of philanthropic and community activities, most notably education and poverty alleviation in the developing world. Tom also serves on the board of The Bentway Conservancy, a new 1.75 km urban public park and performance space underneath Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway.

This week David talks to entrepreneur and founder Artur Sychov about his journey from realising his product vision, to choosing to walk away from the company he created.
