Podcasts about Muskoka

I'm brought back "Cottage Cocktails"! I haven't posted a Cottage Cocktails mix since 2019, but after djing an amazing cottage tent wedding last summer, I was inspired to record a cocktail mix that would be the perfect soundtrack for that cottage setting (but the couple that weekend had their own plans for cocktail music) so the following weekend I recorded this during cocktails at a wedding downtown Toronto. Recorded in the big city, but this is meant to be listened to up in Muskoka, or at the very least while floating in a pool, or perhaps just sitting around a backyard bonfire (or sipping on a coffee or tea in your favourite comfy chair). Perfect laid back vibes as we say goodbye to summer and hello to sweater weather. Hope you enjoy!Also, I'm sorry I'm so behind here on podomatic. Up to date mixes can be streamed over on mixcloud, just saying!Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_meBookings & Merch: jamiewichartz @ yahoo.ca

This weeks guest is Jordan Mazzanti who joins us from the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. Jordan is currently working as the Directory of Beverage at Oviinbird Golf Club. Jordan started working in restaurants at the age of 15 when he landed a job washing dishes. Since that time, Jordan has held every position in many different styles of restaurants all over the world. Jordan spent his 20's travelling and working in Asia, Central American and Australia. Hospitality jobs at the time were a way to keep travelling, not a career path. That changed for Jordan when he was introduced to the world of wine. Since that discovery, Jordan's career in wine has taken him from slinging pints at pubs to working at white linen table cloth establishments. Jordan has experience in all aspects of the wine world from serving, teaching and selling. Wine and hospitality have become a complete obsession for Jordan, but he takes pride in being himself and and being approachable and down to earth.

Send us a textEver wondered what makes wildlife photography truly ethical? Jesse Villemaire takes us deep into the heart of this question, revealing how respecting wildlife comes before capturing the perfect shot. As co-founder of Follow Me North with his wife Susan, Jesse shares captivating stories from Algonquin Park's wilderness and South African safaris while unveiling the philosophy that guides their intimate photography workshops."The wildlife comes first, the photo comes next," Jesse emphasizes, explaining how maintaining proper distance and understanding animal behavior creates not just better photographs, but more meaningful encounters. Through heartfelt examples—including a devastating story about a habituated wolf—he illustrates why "baiting" wildlife causes harm that far outweighs any photographic benefit.Jesse's personal journey from tattoo studio owner in Cambridge to wildlife photographer in Muskoka reveals how nature became his essential reset button. The story of meeting his wife through Instagram's Algonquin Park hashtag (culminating in their wedding on an island in Lake of Two Rivers) demonstrates how shared passion for wilderness can forge life's most meaningful connections. Their volunteer work with Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary further showcases their commitment to conservation beyond the lens.From their viral "Santa in a Red Canoe" series to their humorous "Sorry Algonquin" Instagram project pairing stunning images with one-star park reviews, Jesse's creative approach invites others into nature's beauty with both reverence and playfulness. His South African photo tours—where participants might find themselves surrounded by 21 lions—offer transformative experiences that "change you" on a fundamental level.Ready to experience wildlife photography through a more mindful lens? Listen now and discover how connecting with nature might just help you connect more deeply with yourself and others along the way.https://www.instagram.com/followmenorthhttps://www.facebook.com/followmenorthSupport the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

It started in Muskoka. A room full of leaders. And then—that moment. I saw it. A shift. A spark. A lightbulb. Rob Horst had an aha moment so powerful, it lit up the entire room. That's when I knew—I needed to have him on the Better the Pond Pondcast. Rob is the National Sales Manager of Energy & Sustainability at Graybar Canada, a company with an extraordinary culture and coast-to-coast impact. But Rob's story isn't just about his title. It's about what happens when instinct meets courage—when one person speaks up with a new idea, and ends up reshaping the direction of a national company. In this episode, we talk about: Leadership that empowers instead of controls Flying in V formation—and knowing when it's your turn to lead The lessons passed down from a life steeped in construction, resilience, and quiet strength What it means to fail forward, speak up, and build something bigger than yourself Oh, and he also won the James Pond Award. (That's no small feat.) If you're looking for a story that's equal parts grit, humility, and innovation—this one's for you.

Glen Sutherland hosts Canadian Investing in the US with guest Dave Mastronardi. Dave runs a real estate investment firm in Canada focused on the southern US, particularly Florida. He is also a partner at Midfield Investments, focusing on multifamily properties in Texas. Dave's Real Estate Journey Previously the CEO of a large manufacturing company; transitioned to real estate full-time after the business was sold. Started with smaller, self-funded projects in Ontario before expanding into larger multifamily investments in the US. Emphasized the importance of scaling through partnerships, capital raising, and team-building. Current Project: 120-Unit Property in Montgomery, Texas The deal involves a brand-new multifamily property purchased from a developer at $142,000 per unit—significantly below typical Canadian prices. Located near Houston, in a growing area with strong commercial and residential development, including amenities like a new Home Depot and other retail spaces. Demographic appeal includes commuters to Houston and residents drawn to nearby Lake Conroe (comparable to Muskoka, Ontario). Deal Highlights Seller Financing: Favorable terms allow flexibility and a path to HUD financing. Cash Flow from Day One: No significant renovations required; focus on minor amenity additions. Low Risk: De-risked due to immediate cash flow, strong market demand, and equity on purchase. Avoiding high-risk "value-add" strategies common in previous hot markets, given interest rate fluctuations and renovation uncertainties. Final Notes Glen and Dave highlighted the importance of shifting strategies based on market conditions. Dave emphasized prioritizing cash flow and minimizing risk in the current environment, as opposed to high-risk renovation-heavy projects. The project stands out due to its favorable terms, location, and growth potential.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mathew Guluzian of Rise Again Framing Ltd. to hear about his journey into the world of framing and the people who shaped his career. Mathew opens up about the highs and lows of his path in the trades, including a tragic incident that changed his perspective forever. He recalls the day he stood just six feet away from his colleague and a mentor, Mike Groulx, when a fall led to a fatal injury. Mike suffered a fractured skull and passed away one week later—a loss that impacted Mathew deeply and the way he looks at construction today. Through this conversation, Mathew shares how this experience strengthened his commitment to safety, resilience, and honoring the legacy of those who paved the way.

Public servants at various levels of government are under scrutiny as allegations of deceit, cronyism, and illicit favoritism come to light.

My special guest tonight is author Deborah Vadas Levison who's here to discuss how her parents peaceful life after the holocaust was shattered by a grizzly discovery under their home.  Get the book.   After surviving the horrors of the Holocaust—in ghettos, on death marches, and in concentration camps—a young couple seeks refuge in Canada. They settle into a new life, certain that the terrors of their past are behind them. They build themselves a cozy little cottage on a lake in Muskoka, a cottage that becomes emblematic of their victory over the Nazis. The charming retreat is a safe haven, a refuge from haunted memories.   That is, until a single act of unspeakable violence defiles their sanctuary. Poking around the dark crawl space beneath their cottage, they discover a wooden crate, nailed tightly shut and almost hidden from view. Nothing could have prepared them for the horror of the crate's contents—or how the peace and tranquility of their lives would be shattered.    Now, their daughter, Deborah Vadas Levison, an award-winning journalist, tells the extraordinary account of her parents' ordeals, both in one of the darkest times in world history and their present-day lives. Written in searing, lyrical prose, The Crate: A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice examines man's seemingly limitless capacity for evil . . . but also, his capacity for good.   “An impressive and important piece of work.

While average residential sale prices are likely to increase in the majority markets analyzed, there are a couple of outliers where prices are anticipated to be flat or decline, including Toronto, Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Charlottetown, North Bay and London, it said. The report said 25 per cent of Canadians expressed that saving for a home purchase is one of their top three priorities when it comes to financial savings, despite high cost of living and affordability challenges. In a video interview, Christopher Alexander, President of RE/MAX Canada, talks about the company's latest report – the Fall Housing Market Outlook. The video can be seen here. PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, Sept. 3, 2024 /CNW/ — With the long-anticipated decline in interest rates finally starting to materialize, early indicators from RE/MAX brokers and agents across Canada suggest steady housing market activity this fall. Average sale prices across all housing types are expected to increase between one and six per cent in the majority of regions by year's end, according to RE/MAX's 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook. Ahead of the next Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate announcement on September 4, two in 10 Canadians (16 per cent) said they will feel more comfortable engaging in the real estate market once they see there is more than a 100-basis-point cut to the BoC's lending rate between now and the end of the year, according to a Leger survey commissioned by RE/MAX as part of the report. Chris Alexander “The fall market is usually a good early indicator for activity as we look ahead to early 2025, and we're headed toward more healthy territory. With interest rates starting to ease, buyers are beginning to come off the sidelines,” says Christopher Alexander, President, RE/MAX Canada. “That's not to say the fall market will be in full swing according to historic standards. Consumers will drive that trend, so we'll need to see a bigger move by the Bank of Canada for that to happen.” Consumer Sentiments Going into the Fall Market Ahead of further anticipated interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, it seems that even the mere prospect of lower rates has boosted confidence among first-time homebuyers, with one-quarter of Canadians (25 per cent) actively saving for a home purchase and confident they will be able to buy soon (with the majority being younger Millennials and Gen Zs aged 18-24, at 35 per cent). On the flipside, dropping interest rates now may prove too little, too late for some current homeowners, with 14 per cent saying they need to renew their mortgage soon, and with the current higher interest rate, they may need to sell their home. When it comes to financial savings, the Leger survey revealed that while a home purchase is listed among the top three priorities for 25 per cent of Canadians, it has taken a back seat to day-to-day expenses such as utilities and food (58 per cent), and travel (45 per cent). In the search for affordability, one-quarter of Canadians say that they are considering moving to another country (28 per cent) and 25 per cent say they are reconsidering whether to have children or start a family due to housing affordability challenges. “Despite some consumer confidence starting to return to the market this season, the reality is Canadians are still grappling with some serious housing affordability challenges rooted in lack of supply. Yes, borrowing is becoming less expensive, but this won't make housing affordable in the long run,” says Alexander. “Markets ebb and flow, and as buyers re-enter the market and absorb inventory, we'll see more upward pressure on price. “Ultimately, for the long-term health of Canada's housing market, we need a national housing strategy developed in collaboration between all levels of government, that's more strategic and visionary in how we can use existing lands and real estate to boost supply. In the meantime, buyers would be wise to work with an experienced real estate agent to help navigate those cyclical market ups and downs that often accompany this push and pull of supply and demand.” Regional Market Insights As part of the 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook Report, RE/MAX brokers and agents in Canada were asked to share an analysis of their local market between January and July 2023 and 2024 and share their estimated outlook for fall 2024. The majority of regions (76 per cent) anticipate an increase in sale price between one to six per cent, including Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; Winnipeg, MB; Halifax, NS; St. John's Metro, NL; Truro/Colchester, NS; Fredericton, NB; Timmins, ON; Sudbury, ON; Brampton, ON; Mississauga, ON; Niagara, ON; Ottawa, ON; Durham, ON; Barrie, ON; Muskoka, ON; Peterborough, ON; York Region, ON; Kingston, ON; Windsor, ON, and Thunder Bay, ON. Exceptions to the upward trend include Toronto, ON; Hamilton, ON; Burlington, ON; and Kitchener-Waterloo, ON, where a moderate decline between two and three per cent is expected, and Charlottetown, PEI; North Bay, ON, and London, ON, where prices will likely remain flat. When it comes to listings, a majority of regions surveyed (82 per cent) saw the number of listings increase between 2.3 and 34.7 per cent between January and July (2023 – 2024). The number of sale transactions also increased between 3.1 and 7.4 per cent in Atlantic Canada, 3.4 to 30.9 per cent in Western Canada, and between 0.6 and 14.8 per cent in Ontario, except for some larger Ontario markets like Toronto, Brampton, Durham Region, Mississauga, Peterborough and York Region, where sales trended downward. According to RE/MAX brokers' insights, 33 per cent of housing markets are expected to be seller's markets, but this may shift as competition increases and market conditions evolve. To view the regional data table, click here. Western Canada and Prairies The Prairies continue to skew towards a seller's market (Edmonton, AB; Calgary, AB; Saskatoon, SK) which is consistent with 2023, except for Winnipeg, MB, which is a balanced market. On the other hand, in Western Canada, inclusive of the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC, a mix of balanced and buyer's markets are anticipated. Heading into the fall, prices are forecasted to increase by two to six per cent in regions like the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; and Winnipeg, MB. Sale transactions are anticipated to increase by five to 15 per cent in the Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Edmonton, AB; and Winnipeg, MB; and a decrease of one per cent in Saskatoon, SK, due to inventory shortages, while Calgary, AB anticipates sales will remain flat. RE/MAX broker feedback in Regina, SK indicates that many factors will dictate how the market pans out for the remainder of the year, including government election cycles, The Bank of Canada interest rate announcements and inventory levels. Historically, Regina, SK sees the markets cool from mid-September through the end of the year. All markets in Western Canada and The Prairies – apart from the Greater Vancouver Area, BC – continue to experience supply challenges, with increased activity in the market, as consumers benefit from recent interest rate cuts. Lower mortgage rates have bolstered consumer confidence in the market but paired with low supply, RE/MAX brokers and agents in the region are reporting aggressive offers in conjunction with sellers raising asking prices for residential homes. Ontario Despite The Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts, low housing supply continues to impact multiple markets across Ontario, keeping prices high. However, some buyers are gaining more confidence as mortgage rates decrease and are slowly re-entering the market heading into fall, keeping prices relatively stable in comparison to the year prior. Housing supply is expected to become a larger issue once further interest rate cuts motivate buyers on the sidelines to re-enter the market and spark more competition. Although some homebuyer confidence is starting to return, buyers in Toronto remain hesitant as affordability continues to be a challenge, especially for first-time homebuyers. Across Ontario, 12 regions are expecting average residential prices to remain flat or increase modestly heading into the fall. Increasing markets include Timmins, Sudbury, Brampton, Mississauga, Thunder Bay, and Barrie (each rising five per cent), Peterborough, York Region and Kingston (rising three per cent), Niagara (up two per cent), Durham Region and Ottawa (up one per cent), and London (rising a nominal 0.5 per cent). The outliers to this upward trend are Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, and Burlington, which are expecting a price decrease. In Ontario, seven markets are expected to experience balanced conditions this fall, while four are anticipated to be seller's markets, and five are buyer's markets. Four markets are expecting a mix, with three buyers/balanced conditions, and one sellers/balanced market. Atlantic Canada Echoing similarities to other regions across Canada, Atlantic Canada is also reporting low inventory supply and increased competition when it comes to buyer activity. Buyers are competing aggressively on affordable housing and new listings, causing prices to spike. This is likely a result of current supply challenges and an increase in out-of-town buyers from Western and Central Canada. Unlike in 2023, average residential prices in Atlantic Canada are expected to increase for the remainder of year, by five per cent in Truro and Colchester, NS, one per cent in Halifax, NS, 1.5 per cent in St. John's Metro, NL, and two per cent in Fredericton, NB, while Charlottetown, PEI is anticipated to remain flat. All markets in Atlantic Canada with the exception of Charlottetown – which is a buyer's market – are considered to be seller's markets. Quebec Like other regions across the country, Montreal's housing shortage coupled with interest rates have resulted in a seller's market, with buyers making multiple offers on properties to remain competitive or opting to wait on the sidelines. Pricing and marketing are crucial for sellers looking to attract hesitant buyers. Additional survey findings: Majority of Canadians (77 per cent) believe steps taken by municipal, provincial, and federal governments to improve housing inventory and affordability are not enough to solve our affordability crisis and more needs to be done 60 per cent of Canadians believe building more diverse types of housing are the key to solving Canada's housing supply challenges For 16 per cent of Canadians, rising cost-of-living and affordability challenges have not deterred them at all, and they plan to purchase another home beyond their primary residence soon (or have recently) 40 per cent of Canadians feel Canada is one of the best countries in the world to purchase/invest in real estate (notably this number is higher at 52 per cent, for new Canadians that have been in Canada for less than 5 years) One-third of Canadians (32 per cent) said they are relying on their home as their only financial plan for retirement.

That's, that can't cure you, that's, that's impossible. Like, talking about nutrition or I did some resonance therapy, which is like, like energy healing. And people were consistently telling me it's a waste of time, or a waste of money or a waste of resources. And not only was the worry in my head that it's not going to be enough was that tough, but it was also going against what everybody around me was saying was a little hard. But I have Lauren, my, my now wife, and she was always in my corner. But for people that are struggling and wanting to change something, I think that the hardest thing to do is to get rid of the opinions of others because that's, that's tough. Lesley Logan 0:49  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:31  Oh my gosh, Be It babe. Okay. So I find it's important to share interesting stories where there's an overcome of challenge. Because I think it's so easy to look at people building businesses building things and think they have it all together, their life has been so easy. And not everyone shares with you their journey to get to where they are. And I'm not saying that they have to. Also, because sometimes people just don't want to repeat the story that they've already told. But I think and like today's episode, especially, it can maybe help you understand that pretty much most people create things based on the journey that got them there. And I find that some of the best inventions, and the greatest things that I've you know, especially in my life that have happened, have all if I look back as hindsight that 2020 I can see that came from this version of a rock bottom. And I share this with you because I've met a few people in like in a rock bottom zone, and they just want it to be over. And I really love to say like, you know, if this is your rock bottom, like do not, do not wish it over. Like do not wish it never happened because some of the greatest things in your life are going to come from this, right? So today's guest is Jordan Dunin, Founder of HatchPath and it's a really cool company, I'll let him tell you all about it. And like what it's meant to do and what it's designed for. But also, like, if you're watching this on the YouTube version of it, you're gonna see my face just like, like I get more and more stunned as he tells a story of what he overcame. And I think it's important for you to hear that because I know that you're probably going through something right now. Or you're just, you feel like you're on the other side of it and you're wondering, like, why did that happen? What am I supposed to do next? Or maybe you forgot how far you've come. And maybe this episode can be a reminder that you're doing amazing things. And being it till you see it is not the easiest thing to do. And it doesn't mean that it's all shiny roses and rainbows and sometimes you're being it till you see it and then you go cry in your bed a little bit because it's hard to become that version of you that you believe you are meant to be. I hope you'll like today's episode. And here's Jordan Dunin. Lesley Logan 3:40  All right Be It babe. I'm so excited for our guest today, Jordan Dunin is here and off camera, off recording, we've just realized that like, you know, everything that looks like it's all together and organized. There's like all these apps for everything. And really, it just makes us all realize like, we can have very different lives and all need a different app to make sure the dogs are in the house, the babies are asleep. I'm just really impressed by you, Jordan, how organized you are. And I'm so excited to talk with you about coaching and your life to that. So can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Jordan Dunin 4:11  Yeah, thank you so much for having me. First of all, and I'm Jordan. I am, I guess my title is the founder of HatchPath. But I'm a dad. I'm a life coach. I just ran a half marathon. So I guess I'm a half marathoner. And most importantly, I guess I'm human. But that being said, my journey all started in 2016 when I suffered a traumatic brain injury, so I dove off a dock at a friend's cottage so I'm from Canada. So up north, we have a bunch of lakes and is called Muskoka. For those of you that know it. It's a lot of fun. But I hit the bottom and I actually compressed fractured my entire C spine. I tore off my rectus capitis. I needed 15 staples in my scalp. And I slipped suffered a traumatic brain injury. Pretty, I was pretty embarrassed about it. So I didn't tell anybody really. And I skipped all the imaging and at the time I was working in finance. So all the numbers on the screen are really smaller and smaller, I was popping Advil at the desk. This is before I became into health, obviously. And I was going to my final year of university, I was always a Dean's List scholar. And my parents were in Africa at the time. And I remember texting them saying, hey, I quit school. And I'm in my fourth and final year of my business degree. And then I got home and never felt depression before and I had to watch all my friends graduate while I was sick at home, and then in 2017, I was actually diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. And for people with Lyme. I know there's a lot so I'm sure there's some listening, it typically becomes active after a trauma. So mine was physical. I think the emotional side actually triggered it more. But it can be through relationship trauma, childhood trauma, physical trauma, your immunity gets suppressed so far that the virus or the bacteria they think actually becomes active. So I was diagnosed in 2017. Over a four-year period as a net caller for four years lost 70 pounds, I was extremely depressed and pain every day. I was told I had multiple surgeries I didn't want to have including one that was to repair a ruptured artery and my sinus. Lesley Logan 6:13  Oh my god, this isn't, okay, like, if you are watching us on YouTube, my face is just like, okay, there's because I'm just like, you hit your head. And you're like, trying to be cool. Like, I'm good. I'm fine. I can't believe the hospital even let you be good and fine. Like, can you believe it? And then you just tried to live your life with like a compressed C-spine. And like, all this stuff, and it was basically like, so, so just because I want to understand this. Do they think you already had the Lyme disease and the hit of the head triggered it to become active or was it the emotional trauma afterwards? Like when did the what did you catch Lyme do you know?Jordan Dunin 6:52  I think it like we have to back up like a decade. So, like previously is always getting sick. In the winter I was like becoming antibiotic resistant for the amount of antibiotics that I was prescribed as a child that I thought I was diagnosed with bronchitis really young. So every winter I was on like high doses of antibiotics and it just cycled into sinus infections, ear infections. And just every time I was sick, there was a drug for it. And that's Western medicine for you. There's a drug for everything. And then, okay, fast, fast, fast, fast forward to the incident, I was at school, I was kind of trying to take care of myself who'd been like three years away living from home. And my lifestyle was great. Like it was a lot of partying, it was a lot of not eating anything that has any nutritional value. And I think it was kind of burning the candles at both ends. And I don't know how I contracted the illness. A lot of people say that it's a tech, I'm more open to the fact that it can be airborne, sexually transmitted, you name it, I think that there's a number of ways that it can be contracted. I've never been or I never knew that I was bitten by a tick if it was but the running theory is that my trauma activated it. But I've always had awkward blood panels I've always had like insane inflammation markers. I was always likeLesley Logan 8:07  So there was always something kind of there and they were just putting the pieces together because Lyme is very tricky from what I understand for any even if you know you got bit by a tick, it's very tricky diagnose. Okay, so your parents are African, you're like quitting school. And then you end up having multiple surgeries and like your life just changed, went from being a young, active person to like, you know, having multiple surgeries like that's really hard to go through.Jordan Dunin 8:29  Yeah, the first surgery was because I had an MRI on my head and they figured out some damage and they actually saw that my sinuses were filled with infection. And it was they were like you cannot physically heal until you remove this infection. So the first surgery I didn't know any better than to listen to the doctors they went in they drilled out my entire like sinuses. And four weeks later actually ruptured an artery above my left eye, it was like a faucet of, too much information but, is like a faucet of blood and I spent the night in emerg and then they thought they're gonna have to take my eye out to stop the bleeding. Lesley Logan 8:30  Oh my god. Jordan Dunin 8:58  I went into surgery thinking that they're going to take my eye out. Anyways, they ended up being able to go up through my nostril and cauterize the artery. And that was kind of the start of everything because at that time, my head was actually relatively okay, like, depending on the trauma, but it was getting worse. So I started to see a chiropractor, and the chiropractor had the theory that they could crack my neck enough times that I would be healthy. Lesley Logan 9:40  I'm so worried. Jordan Dunin 9:41  I don't know the theory behind that. But I saw this person for a long time. They're actually really intelligent. And I think it was just a poor case for them because the trauma to my neck was magnificent if that's a word. And at the time, it felt really good to get my neck cracked but then I found out that my neck became kind of hypermobile. And I think the actual word for that is unstable. And we didn't know that I had like, compressed fractured my spine at that time either. So then we found out through like more imaging that I had an unstable spine and I had lost the curvature it becomes straight from and then, yeah, and then I tore my rectus capitis off the back of my head, which is the muscle that turns your head. Lesley Logan 10:26  So you're just like, how old? So your like, 22, 23 at that time?Jordan Dunin 10:31  Yeah, I think it was, I think it was 21-ish, then.Lesley Logan 10:34  Oh, my gosh. And so that's really like, it's a lot of different people trying to like help what is a complex situation. First of all, I'm looking at you, you, I obviously saw you get up walk around your head turns like how did we get to like, because I feel like when your life stops, because your body is no longer feels like your own, it can be really difficult to even think about a future. And so you know, I'm just kind of curious, like, how do we how, what was that like to get, go through these surgeries, injuries, all this stuff, trauma. And also still like, think about what you want to do in your life outside of that. Jordan Dunin 11:09  There was no, I was the most negative person I think you would ever meet in the world. I had to learn positivity from my my now wife, Lauren. But at the time, it was like, why me, everybody's against me, kind of isolating myself, removing myself from friends that truly cared. But I just I was just so angry. I was so angry that they got to live their life and I didn't, and that the future looked really bad. It looked like I was going to be handicap the rest of my life that I would never have to be able to hold a job that I have to depend on my parents for the foreseeable future. I actually didn't see a future. That's the negative thing. I think a lot of people go through when they're sick is that the concept of a future contains their illness or their injury. And I, I had that condition where it's like, I couldn't envision a future without my injury and illness. But I think that I now know that's wrong. And if we can envision a future of whatever we want, it's definitely possible. Lesley Logan 12:09  Yeah, I love that you brought that up, it's like really, when you are sick, whatever that illness or injury is, like it can, there are so many unknowns, like, people who listen to podcasts before know, like, when I fractured my tibial plateau, which is nothing compared to what you went through, but as a person who like you don't get to walk on two legs for the first time in your like, knowing walking life, right? I've never broken anything before. So it's my first like, you know, injury that like set me, set me back in air quotes. And I remember being fine for a bit like going okay, we're gonna heal saw the doctor like saw the X-rays, like I know enough about the body to know that it's okay. And then also, at some point, because you're not getting that dopamine hit from the workouts you're doing, you're not getting these like hormones that help you feel like a happy person, you do become negative. And I remember like, just feeling like what is the point, and I'm not a negative person, like I was a positive person who, like watch myself go into that negativity, because I just didn't have the same routines and lifestyle that I had before. And even though I knew like in this many weeks, you can put weight on this leg. It was really hard for me to plan that many weeks ahead. Because I could not understand how I can't walk on my leg now. And I'm supposed to walk on my leg in that many weeks. Like you just can't, it's really hard to wrap your brain around. So obviously, you get healed because you ran a half marathon recently. What was the journey from like going into positivity and then getting into the coaching world? Because if you are Mr. Negativity, the most negative person in the world and I'm looking at the person who can't stop smiling, I'm just wondering how that, how that happened? Jordan Dunin 13:48  Yeah, I don't think it was overnight. I think I, in hindsight, is always 2020. And I definitely was the leading factor in my illness. And one of my favorite things that one of my coaches said to me was like, whatever your problem is, you are there, or I'm paraphrasing, but we are the only constant in all of our problems. Yeah. And that can be both like demoralizing, but also liberating. And when I, when I stopped outsourcing my happiness and I stopped, I stopped outsourcing like the cure for my illness and whatever that search was like a pill or a surgery, like it was never going to work. There was no, there's no cure. There's no there's not a single person out there that could cure anything. And when I started to internalize it actually became liberating rather than like a like an imprisonment. So the positivity came slowly at first it was fake it was faking it and then crying in my bed.Lesley Logan 14:49  I understand that. You are to me, it's been at like you're trying to be a positive person and that's hard to do when you're not naturally but you that's there is science behind if you smile when you're feeling like shit, eventually if you just keep smiling, like your brain starts to go, okay, we're smiling right now and starts to turn things around. So I love it. It's okay to cry in your bed after, but you're being positive.Jordan Dunin 15:09  Yeah. And I had to do stuff that went against everything. Like it went against my vision of the world. I think we all have like a blueprint of the world, like, our perception or the way we see things and I saw things that that guy in that white lab coat is going to fix me. And when I met my wife, she opened me up to spirituality, which took years because that was like, a hard thing to for me to unfold as growing up, where that was kind of, not a not something we did. It was hard. So now it's something like a daily ritual of mine is like breathwork, and meditation and, but that was hard. And seeing that, that I was the person who was gonna give you better, not somebody else. And it was hard, because every time I took a step in that direction, people were telling me that you're going the wrong way, you're gonna fail, or that's not gonna work, you're just gonna get sicker. That's, that can't cure you. That's, that's impossible, like talking about nutrition, or I did some resonance therapy, which is like, like energy healing. And people were consistently telling me it's a waste of time, or a waste of money or a waste of resources. And not only was the worry in my head, that it's not going to be enough was that tough, but it was also going against what everybody around me was saying was a little hard. But I had Lauren, my now wife. And she was always in my corner. But for people that are struggling and wanting to change something, I think that the hardest thing to do is to get rid of the opinions of others. Because that's, that's tough.Lesley Logan 16:43  No, you nailed it. I mean, like, because also it's like this deep fear of rejection, you know, like, when people don't, and also, like, just not being seen, right? And the reality is, like, the things you tried before that were supposed to work, weren't working, and it's not, and it's not because they intentionally didn't want them to work. They thought that they had an answer for you. When you as you're speaking this, like, you know, how, like, every people say, like, everything is happening for you. And then you're just like, okay, but like, what about the bad things? Like, what about the actual, like, legit, terrible abuse, terrible injuries, people who, like, screwed up trying to help you? And they sort of be more like, what about that? Like, how is that for you? And I heard someone say, like, we have responsibility for those things. And I was like, oh, like, you know, but then the way this person explained, it was like, because we have the ability to respond. And what you're saying, what I'm hearing you say is like you took upon this ability of yourself to go, you know, these things didn't work. And I'm gonna try this over here. And it is so hard to hear the people that you think, care about you and love, you go, that's not gonna work, and you just want to go, what I just can you just, like go along with it, but at the same time, like, that's their own fears that's their own, they have an ability to respond as well. And like, it's so cool. And it's really a great sign towards the strength, inner strength of you, when you go, nope, I'm going to I my, my ability to take this on and do this thing, because I believe it's going to work. That's my responsibility. And so I think it's just really, really cool. And I also think, like, we disregard some of the most amazing, energetic works that are out there as like on this double whoo spectrum. And, look, I am not going to say that, like if I had a cancer diagnosis, I'm not gonna go straight to the western medicine, I'm gonna be like, Yeah, please, I'll take that. And I would like to see the Reiki person and I like, we can't, it doesn't have to be either or it can be encompassing. Jordan Dunin 18:46  We can collaborate. Lesley Logan 18:47  Correct, exactly. And so I think it's really interesting when people just want to like do something just because it's different. And so it's what a strong muscle you had to create for yourself and being it and becoming this person that you are by like having to stand up against people who are doubting the decisions you're making. That's not easy to do. Jordan Dunin 19:03  Absolutely. Yeah, I think I think that's a really good point. It's like we can be collaborative with our efforts on all fronts. And I think that the hardest thing for people to understand is that it's, it's work. Like still to this day, my routine is not something that everybody would want to do in order to stay healthy, and that I didn't train for a half marathon and I was able to run one, it was just to be able to see what my my lifestyle is able to let me do. And it all comes down to what we do every single day. Like the things that we do daily become us and I think for some reason, while we're pushed in marketing and all this stuff, it's like, okay, it took me years to become this sick. It took me for me 20 years to become this sick. I'm gonna get well in two weeks. This antibiotic is gonna cure me into like the word cure is just so fickle. It's like something that it doesn't make sense to me a cure, because the only way we change is when we change. And that's what like we're bridging into like a coaching conversation. But I am not the person that was sick. That's a completely different identity. And I see people struggle with Lyme disease because they put something in their Instagram bio like chronic Lyme warrior. If you identify with an illness, how are you ever going to get past it? And there's nothing wrong with that it may be your identity, maybe something that you inherently find value in and maybe a community built, that's even stronger reason to not remove yourself from that community. So I think that habit change and identity is something that really leads to, to success. It all comes down to what we do day to day, you do something tomorrow different than today. Like for me, I'm doing all this like PR training and stuff like that. And it's hard. It's uncomfortable. But the reason it's uncomfortable is because I've never done it. It's not because I'm not meant to do it. And I feel like a lot of the times when we do change, especially for me, it was like, I didn't like Reiki it wasn't for me. No, it wasn't for me, because I've never done it before. I had to get uncomfortable with it. Got outside of my comfort zone. Doesn't mean that it's not for me, it just means that I just felt uncomfortable. It's change.Lesley Logan 21:15  Yeah, so I want to get into like, because you said something really important, like we are the things that we do every day. And like also, if it took you this long to either get sick, or if you've been sick that long. Or if you've been sedentary for whatever length of time, we just expect that we should be able to, you know, be energetic, by two weeks of going to the gym. I think it's so true. I think like people want instant gratification. Hey, I see you like I love opening presents or like, I love, I love instant gratification but Jordan Dunin 21:45  Love language. Lesley Logan 21:46  Yes, yes, yes, yes. But like, yes, but I think like, it is so true, like becoming that person you want to be and like trying things out, it's gonna take time, and you have to have that patience and consistency. I do want to get into the so like, you go through this transformation. You get into coaching. And now you're also doing something where it's like bringing coaches together. So can you explain like, what was the impetus? Like, what was your reasoning for doing that? Like, it's because you want to make other people feel better, was it because you want to do like, what made you want to do the next thing instead of going back to school? Jordan Dunin 22:21  Yeah, well, I did finish my degree. That was the first thing I did, I finished my business degree, I became a licensed personal trainer. But the journey was kind of not great. I was training people and like people wanted aesthetic changes, they wanted overnight XYZ. And then I heard about health coaching. And I realized that the person who helped me get better was essentially a health coach, they hooked me up the right practitioner, the right nutritionist, introduced me to meditation, spirituality. And it was a holistic approach to healing that I could then take on my own. So like when we talked about the difference between coaching and therapy, therapy is typically focused on problems, whereas coaching is focused on results. Like, okay, you started anywhere, we're gonna get to this result. Whereas therapy is like, where did you start? Like so the way that I looked at coaching is it's a path. So like the name HatchPath is like birthing your new journey, you're taking the path, and a coach guides you along the way. But yeah, I became a certified health and life coach, and I realized that the industry is very much like (inaudible). Yeah, there's nothing wrong with real estate agents. But the way that people view them is like, oh, you earn income off of selling other people's things, you know, like all this snake oil stuff. And same thing for health coaches, it's like there's 100,000 of them in the US unregulated. You don't have to be certified to be a health coach. You can just coach on wellness and call yourself a health coach. And I wanted to make that more trustworthy for people. I found so much benefit in my journey with someone that cared about me, had the empathy, had the answers and guided me to success, and I wanted to help people weed out the people that weren't good. The people that were just not wanting to have a nine to five and wanting to be a coach, or, you know, there's a lot of people in the industry that don't fit the mold, and it's unregulated. Lesley Logan 24:05  It's, my industry is, the Pilates industry is, it's not, it's unregulated by government. There is an organization that tries to like, you know, have some version of a true certification but like, let's just be real. In all industries, the use of certification is incorrectly used like certificates are great, but certifications who like they think they get it from the person they pay the training, like nope, that's actually not how it works. Like you don't go to if you go to law school, even at Harvard Law, you're not a lawyer till you take a regulated exam outside of the person who paid for your education. So, so I agree with you. There's like a lot. There's a lot and what's unfortunate about that is that people when they finally do take the leap to like, do the thing and hire the health coach. If they get the air quotes wrong one first. That's it. They don't they think I'm not good enough. And they don't realize that they there's, you know, they just didn't get the right one for them. And it really hurts my soul. So you, you got into what your actual training, your actual (inaudible) and you're like, wow, it's the Wild West, it's unregulated, and there's like a random bunch of people calling themselves this. It's really hard for people to get help.Jordan Dunin 25:20  Yeah, that's the end we wanted or I wanted to simplify the path to help. And so what we do is we have a verification process that's relatively simple. Any coach that wants to join us, we're free to join, we work on a transaction basis, and we have the clients on our platform for you, we'll get into what that means. But how you join is you fill out a form includes a certification, what you do, who you coach, how many years, like XYZ irregular form, and then you have a meeting with me. So I've had over 300 meetings with coaches, look for empathy. The questions are literally, what do you do? And how do you help? And we like we already know that you're certified. So we look for empathy, we want to know that you're driven by empathy, and the best coaches coach on something that they've overcome. So for me, I've overcome Lyme disease, my path is coaching people to overcome Lyme disease. Some coaches coach on anxiety, some coaches coach on weight loss, some coaches coach on weight gain, whatever it may be, we look for to see if there's empathy there. And then all things go, well, you're onboarded to our platform, and it's a true marketplace. So coaches offer their own programs. And the reason we do that is because we know that there's no one size fits all for health. And typical platforms have a system. So if you onboard to another health coaching platform, you may be put into a system that they have their coaches run, I wanted to be different in the sense that I know that there's no straight path to wellness. And I wanted to enable choice. So on our platform on the client side, we now have close to 1000 different programs to choose from on our platform, ranges from nutrition, fitness, chronic illness, mindfulness and spirituality and life and holistic health. Those are five categories. And our coaches are all verified and certified. So when you come to our platform, it's a trusted environment, we've done the vetting for you. And all you have to do is click Pay and Attend. Our full ecosystem is contained. So we're HIPAA compliant, whatever that means. But that means that your information is safe. So you never have to leave to Zoom, Google meet, you don't go through text chats or channels, we make sure that you have a really safe and easy experience with your coach. Lesley Logan 27:22  That's amazing. I think like, I think that that there's something like that legitimizes that and makes it feel less like okay, I'm in this random telegram chat with some weird person, like person I've never met before. And I'm, you know, they're gonna put crystals all over my body. Like, you know, like, I think that there's something really nice about that. I also love it. It's kind of like a dating app for a health coach. Jordan Dunin 27:44  That's it. Lesley Logan 27:45  What I love so much about what you're doing is like you had this incredible like, hit obstacle, obstacle, wall, wall, wall that was clearly guiding you down the hallway, to make sure that you could be on the path that you're on. And then instead of just like making your own health coaching thing, which you could have just done, like you could have just done your own thing and just done for Lyme people and had a good time. You're like, how do I make it easier for everyone, because I'm sure it would have been easier for you to have gone to one website to find this thing. And, you know, get a bunch of resources to work with rather than like, literally googling individual types of health coaches that could have been out there. That's just that would be overwhelming, especially when you need it. The last like I remember when I needed when I was looking for an actual therapist. I Googled like, therapists near me and it's just like thousands of people and you're like, I don't I don't even know how to start like, do I just like, eeny, meeny, miny, moe and call? You know, so I think it's really, it's really cool, what you've done, and also the vetting process. What are you most excited about HatchPath now? Like, what are you hoping it does and like the next year or so?Jordan Dunin 28:52  I'm really excited for 2024 because we've been building forever. We've been building for two years. And we just made an incredible collaboration where we have a contract with a charity that helps over 10,000 Special Ops veterans. So when I said that we have clients already on our platform, looking for coaches. So we have a deal for with them that they put money in the wallets of these veterans, families, and active military. So when they come on our platform, they can book with a coach that the charity pays for him. So it's amazing for coaches, because there's clients waiting for your help that you can make a true impact. And it's a community that we can really help. So our goal is twofold for them. We want to make sure that we have veteran coaches as well. So that coach, the military can coach the military. And also it's amazing for any coach that wants to join our platform because you can make a true impact and grow your business. So the way we work is we also have social proof metrics. So you get ratings and reviews on our platform. It's how you scale I guess you were used to it with Airbnb and yeah, Uber and all this stuff. But now we have real people awaiting your services. So yeah, this has been a year in the making. We've actually built us a specific portal for them, so they can attribute funds to people, approve people and bring this to life. And as of two days ago, I was actually in Tampa. And we made it real. So starting next week, this is all happening. Lesley Logan 30:17  Wow. Wow. Wow. So this is like, so yeah, guys, we're recording this in the middle of January like this is kind of this kind of amazing I love, you know, someone who's like created stuff, it's people don't realize the amount of time and years that things have to take to come to fruition. They think just like, you know, it's going to take two weeks to have the transformation of my life, it's, I'm going to have a business idea, and it's going to be up and running. Congratulations, Jordan, like, just what a transformation and also like, the way you're giving back, and not just to people who need help, but also the people who can help them. It's really cool. We're gonna take a brief break. And we'll find out how people can find you, find HatchPath and your Be It Action Items.Lesley Logan 30:53  Alright, Jordan, if I'm a coach, how do I like connect with you to see if I can be on your platform? And if I'm a person who has a need of a place where people have been vetted, how do I how do I do that?Jordan Dunin 31:05  It's the same answer. We're www.hatchpath.io such as H-A-T-C-H-P-A-T-H, we have a nice little page called Become a coach, if you want to become a coach, you just hit that button. If you're looking for a coach, you can browse all of our programs, our coaches, our offerings, you don't need to create an account, you can simply check out with your name and email. And then once you do that, you can add the session to your calendar. So we do everything from payments, scheduling, video conferencing, ratings, reviews, and messaging, all in one place. And it's really easy. So yeah, click, pay and attend.Lesley Logan 31:39  Yeah, that's so cool. All right. And is there any social handles that they can go and follow you at?Jordan Dunin 31:46  Absolutely. So our business social's HatchPathCoach, that's Instagram. Mine is Jordan Dunin. And that's it. Lesley Logan 31:55  Amazing. This is so cool. I'm excited for people. I also, I'll have to go back and listen, because I don't remember the exact phrase you said. But there was an amazing sentence you said about like simplicity and getting help. And I was like, That is like your that's your like little mantra. Okay, before I let you go, it's been incredible hearing your story and like to hear what you're doing in this world. But what can you leave us with, action steps, so Be It Action Items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targets steps people can take to be it till they see it. What you have for us?Jordan Dunin 32:26  Envision a goal where you have everything that you want, and how does it feel? Feel that now and then go after it. I think that the major thing that we do is, I heard a quote, I'm going to paraphrase it because it's not mine. But envision yourself living in a 500-square-foot studio apartment in New York, putting an Italian marble down, spending millions of dollars to renovate it. You're still in a 500-square-foot apartment, break down the walls, make it a mansion, make it whatever you want. I think the struggle with people is that we build our future in our box that we're in right now. Build the future however you want. Envision it, feel it and go after it.Lesley Logan 33:06  I think that's brilliant. I love that. I love that. Like also just explain like it's really easy for us to envision our future with our current reality. Yeah, yeah, that's a problem. So Jordan, you've been amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you for what you've created. Congratulations on what you've done out there because it's going to help health coaches really find their people and people find the right health coaches and and help them be it till they see it. So thank you so much, and everyone how are you going to use these tips in your life? What are you going to do next? Make sure you tag HatchPath, Jordan Dunin, and the Be It pod.
