E261 - New Traditions, Fire Truck Dedications and WildLand Task Force Leader Debrief This week welcome Scott back to the studio and get an update on the Wild Land Task Force Leader course he recently took. Todd tells us about a new tradition his department is starting where they dedicate new apparatus to past fire fighters. One in particular was dedicated to Todds father, who spent 53 years of service in Osoyoos. WHO WE ARE As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

Noelle Starzynski, wine marketer extraordinaire, joins me on the podcast this week. She is perhaps best known for her work with Lakeside Cellars in Osoyoos, BC where she has been working for the past 5 years helping to build their brand and hospitality program. I first met Noelle in the middle of the last decade and we have been running into each other at various events and stores ever since. We didn't see much of each other during the pandemic of course. Events started back up just as I was getting this podcast started last year but was only recently able to follow through on her threat to make an appearance on it, which happened right before I was to set off to Ontario a couple of weeks ago. It's a fun conversation filled with mystery wines (including a Ferox Merlot from Virgil, Ontario) and excitement. We had lots of things to talk about.

Do you ever wonder what it's really like to be an influencer and to be chasing likes? What really goes on behind the scenes? My guest Carlee Krtolica is a Calgary mom of 2 girls, a blogger, content creator, social media influencer at Styled to Sparkle, and the author of the book Chasing Likes. She is also a freelance interior designer and a sommelier with her WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Level 2 Certification.  Her blog and social media are a direct reflection of her daily life with her family, home projects, outdoor adventures, global travel, fine food, wine, and spirits and so much more. Carlee wants to share what makes her life easier in the hopes that it will make your life easier too! Listen in as we talk about: Chasing likes. Carlee gets real about her experience and success as an influencer.  Knowing your limits. Carlee gives us insight into how she ‘does it all', and it comes with knowing when, and what, to outsource. Following your passions. When our passion runs deep within us, that's when we know we're living in our purpose. Carlee shares how she continues to follow her passions in her business and tapping into her wildest dreams by writing a book. Living in the ‘pinch me' moments. You know those moments in life when it almost feels surreal to have the opportunities you have? Carlee gives us insight into her favourite Connect with Carlee: Instagram: @styledtosparkle https://www.instagram.com/styledtosparkle/ Facebook: @styledtosparkle https://www.facebook.com/styledtosparkle/ Website:  https://www.styledtosparkle.com Blog Post: Carlee's nursery for her second daughter Blog Post: Carlee's kitchen Book: Chasing Likes by Carlee Krtolica CHASING LIKES Are you thinking about being an influencer? Carlee asks, “Are you sure you want to do this?”. Being an influencer is a lot more work than you might think. There are many decisions to make about the content you are going to create in terms of what you want to share, how much you want to share, and how authentic you want to be. You need to really think about why you would want to get into this space. It might seem like you just snap some photos and get some free stuff but that is not how it works these days.   KNOWING YOUR LIMITS “Not everything you see is real. Give yourself some grace and ask for help.” On social media, it can appear that people have it all together, that they, themselves, are ‘doing it all', and that their lives are perfect – almost too good to be true. Carlee gives us insight into how she ‘does it all', and it comes with knowing when, and what, to outsource. She shares how important it is to know our limits, so that we have the time and energy to pour back into the things we love during the day; like spending time with our loved ones, working on projects that bring us joy, and filling up our own cup. Carlee reminds us that there is no shame in asking for help to live a life that feels balanced. She shares two of her favourite ways to make her life easier:  Instacart: Instacart is a grocery delivery company. This saves Carlee a trip to the grocery store and having to pack up her young girls. Sprout Society: Sprout Society is a Calgary based company that has a great variety of pre-made plant based meals that Carlee can have on hand in the fridge or freezer. Her family loves them! WINE RECOMMENDATIONS Carlee loves and knows a lot about wine! She shares some of her favourites.  Mission Hill Perpetua Chardonnay: Mission Hill is located in West Kelowna, British Columbia. Carlee recommends pairing this wine with popcorn topped with butter, truffle oil, and parmesan cheese.  Blue Mountain Pinot Noir: Blue Mountain is located in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia.  Nk'Mip Cellars Merlot: Nk'Mip Cellars an Indigenous owned winery located in Osoyoos, British Columbia. Carlee loves enjoying this wine with steak.  Hello Someday Crossroads Red Blend: Hello Someday is owned by a Calgary Couple,

It's the speed of the industry that John Skinner notices most when remarking on changes in mining and finance.On Friday Skinner was a guest on Kitco Roundtable podcast with correspondent Paul Harris and mining audiences manager, Michael McCrae.Skinner has been in and out of the resource sector since starting his career in the mid ‘80s at Yorkton Securities."The thing I've noticed since I was in the industry is just how different and how much faster everything happens because of social media. You used to have to wait for a newspaper to come out. The rumor mill happens and it's instant. It's faster. It's more ferocious and due diligence is that much faster," said Skinner.  "I'm really excited for guys in the industry."Success in the industry led him to pursue another passion: wine. In early 2004 he purchased land in Osoyoos and started Painted Rock Winery. He recently returned to the industry with the general lift in resources. Skinnner is independent director at Meridian Mining, which is focused on projects in Brazil.Skinner also noticed how the slow years in the resource sector between '08 and '15 led to a talent gap.“There's a certain age group in the 2008 to 2015 window. [People] weren't coming into the industry,” said Skinner. “But now…it's attracting people. It's attractive again, and it feels like the market is on.”Kicto Roundtable also reprised its video with Danielle DiMartino Booth.The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield briefly surged above 1.6% on Thursday.Until the Federal Reserve declares an intervention to bring down the long-end of the curve, equities markets could see continued "nervousness" said Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of Quill Intelligence.
