Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Peddie

There was a time when Richard Peddie couldn't have been more urban. He was the chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, responsible for bringing the population of a small town into the Scotiabank Arena most nights of the year. So it's somewhat ironic that Peddie's latest book is called, "Great Small Towns of Ontario," in which he chronicles the qualities that make for this province's ten best.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode discusses Richard Peddie's leadership journey to lead one of the largest sports and entertainment companies in North America, Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment. During this interview, we go in-depth about the importance of leading with strong visions and values.

In today’s show, we interview Chris Shewfelt, Senior Director, Global Partnerships, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is a professional sport and commercial real estate company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  With assets that include franchises in the four major sports leagues in the USA and Canada (including Toronto FC and Toronto Raptors), MLSE is one of the largest sports and entertainment companies in the world. Chris grew up in a small community on a farm, and his upbringing instilled in him an incredible drive and an “always-go” attitude. While this held him in good stead, Chris admits that he was frustrated with his inability to manage finances once he started working professionally. In the next segment of the show, Chris shares how his persistence helped him land a job at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.  Chris interned with MSLE for 4 months. But then 9/11 happened.  It seemed that Chris would have to give up on his dream job. But, out of the blue, he received a call from MSLE requesting help with a small 10-minute promotion. Wanting to show that he was someone who always gave his 100%, no matter what, Chris went out of his way and took up this small gig.  Impressed with his commitment, MSLE eventually hired him as an assistant in the corporate partnerships department.   One of Chris’s first projects at MLSE was selling Toronto Raptor tickets. Back then, Toronto Raptors was not particularly popular, and Chris had to resort to innovative marketing techniques to make sales.  This serves as a good segue to our next topic. Listeners will also learn how the entire MLSE team manages the pressures of working in a field that is subject to intense public scrutiny. Specifically, when the teams are not doing well on-field, how does MLSE deal with the commercial fall-out? Does it become difficult to manage disappointments and expectations when you have a rabid fan base? Chris also shares some fond memories of working under former Presidents, Richard Peddie, Tim Leiweke, and Bill Manning in today’s show. From launching Leafs TV and GOL TV to being acquired by Roger and Bell in 2012, Chris walks down the memory lane and shares some of the biggest and most strategic business moves that have made MLSE an entertainment powerhouse. Other topics discussed in today’s show include the importance of being consistent in business, and developing a “one for all” organizational culture. We hope you enjoy this show!   Resources Student Works  Chris Thomson LinkedIn Chris’s Email

Former CEO of MLSE and Windsor's own, Richard Peddie, talks growing up in Windsor, studying at the University, and his career with MLSE. Plus, what he's doing today. September 13, 2018Support the show (http://gf.me/u/xpk4a5)

Since he was 20 years old, Richard Peddie dreamed about being president of an NBA basketball team. In November of 1996 his dream became reality when he was offered the job of president of the Toronto Raptors. In 1998, the Toronto Maple Leafs bought the Raptors and Richard became President and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment or MLSE. Richard ran MLSE for 14 years and for 6 of those years, I worked there as Event Accountant in the Live Entertainment department, or as we liked to say, the E in MLSE. What I remember most about Richard was that he always seemed very approachable. He was always very appreciative of our work in Live Entertainment, and probably the biggest fan of the company band, which I was lucky enough to be part of for 6 years. I got to play on stage at the Air Canada Centre several times, and one time I even got to do a live performance with Alan Frew from the band Glass Tiger. I doubt that any of this would have happened if Richard didn't approve. Richard taught me the importance of having a vision and values in business but also in the rest of your life as well. Knowing my core values helps me feel confident about big decisions I make. And I believe it's important that when you're applying for a job that you make sure that at least a few of your top values align with those of the company. Since retiring from MLSE, Richard has written two books. Dream Job is his autobiography and takes you through his journey in detail. 21 Leadership Lessons is his second book and though at first you might think it is a book reserved for business leaders, after reading it I realized how applicable these lessons are to everyone. I wanted to have Richard on the show because I believe his lessons about values, leadership, integrity, and yes even thank you cards, are important for everyone to hear, and can be applied to your personal life as well as your career. Today, at 71, Richard is a passionate city builder and philanthropist. He is active on Twitter and regularly writes posts on his website forabettertoronto.ca. I feel very fortunate to know Richard and grateful that he agreed to host me in his home for this interview.

Lawrence Scanlan and Face2Face host David Peck talk about sharing the wealth, listening compassionately, generosity and social justice of various kinds. You can learn more about Lawrence here.   Biography Lawrence Scanlan was born in Toronto and spent the first six years of his life in the northern Ontario railway town of Nakina. He has lived and worked in Toronto, Nelson, B.C. and, for the past thirty-five years, the Kingston area in southeastern Ontario. Scanlan has worked in newspapers (literary editor of The Whig-Standard, editor of The Nelson Daily News), magazines (managing editor of Harrowsmith) and radio (producer with CBC Radio’s Morningside as well as Writers & Company). He has won three National Magazine Awards and, as a freelancer, written scores of articles on many subjects, including science, sports, literature, travel and medicine. In 1989, Scanlan’s first book was published — a biography co-authored with Ian Millar called Riding High. It was a Globe and Mail bestseller and would pave the way for many of his other equestrian books. Big Ben, about Millar’s world champion show jumper, has sold more than 90,000 copies since coming out in 1994. The Man Who Listens to Horses, co-authored with horseman Monty Roberts and published in 1997, spent more than a year on North American bestseller lists and sold in excess of one million copies. Scanlan’s book on the history of the horse-human bond, Wild About Horses, is considered a classic in its field and continues to sell today after coming out in 1998. The book was translated and sold in Germany, Spain and throughout Latin America. A children’s version of that book, Horses Forever, was also hugely successful. Little Horse of Iron told the history of the Canadian horse and Scanlan’s own horse, Dali – acquired in 1999 when the horse was five and his new owner was fifty. The Horse God Built examined the special kinship between the champion racehorse, Secretariat, and his groom, Eddie Sweat. The Big Red Horse was the children’s version of that book. Healed by Horses tells the remarkable story of Carole Fletcher who became a trick horse trainer after almost dying in a fire. Scanlan’s novel aimed at young adults, The Horse’s Shadow (about a young habitant girl caught up in the American Civil War), won a 2007 Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice Award and was selected as a “choice” title by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre. An eclectic and prolific writer, he has written about violence in hockey (Grace Under Fire), life in the country (Heading Home) and the cabin as sanctuary (Harvest of a Quiet Eye). Reviews of all these books have been (mostly) enthusiastic. The reviews of A Year of Living Generously – a book about compassion that chronicles Scanlan’s twelve months of volunteering with twelve different charities – were especially and almost universally warm. The Globe and Mail selected it as a Best 100 Book of 2010, and The National Post called it “an ingenious, richly executed book.” Working as either co-author or ghostwriter, Scanlan continues to help other people tell their stories. He worked with Melissa Hawach on her 2008 bestseller, Flight of the Dragonfly – about a Canadian mother going into war-torn Lebanon to gain back her kidnapped daughters. Scanlan worked closely with Margaret Trudeau on her hugely successful memoir, Changing My Mind, published in 2010. That same year came The Rescue of Belle and Sundance – about a community’s extraordinary campaign to save two abandoned horses trapped on a B.C. mountain in mid-winter. The book was sold to Canadian, American and Australian publishers and was made into a film. The Woman Who Changed Her Brain was two years in the making. Scanlan worked with Barbara Arrowsmith Young to chronicle the life and pioneering work of this remarkable woman who overcame crippling learning disabilities using the principles of neuroplasticity. The book was published in 2012 in Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. An updated version of that book will be published in 2017. Scanlan has worked behind the scenes on four other collaborations — bringing to 24 the number of books on his list. The most recent titles include these: Richard Peddie’s memoir, Dream Job: My Wild Ride on the Corporate Side with the Leafs, the Raptors and TFC, published in 2013. Olivia Chow’s memoir — My Journey, published in 2014. Deanna Lennox’s book — Damage Done: A Mountie’s Memoir, From Hurt to Hopeful, from  Horses to Healing, published in the spring of 2015. And Robert Bateman’s book, Life Sketches: A Memoir, published in November of 2015. Scanlan’s book on the history of the Order of Canada — They Desired a Better Country — will be published in February of 2017. Scanlan has taught classes in writing and journalism in primary and high schools as well as prisons and lectured on philanthropy at Queen’s University, McMaster, Brock, McGill, Dalhousie and Mount Royal in Calgary. He continues to write freelance journalism and contributes a regular column on sports to Kingston Life magazine. Scanlan lives in Kingston with Ulrike Bender, who taught English to francophone cadets at Royal Military College before retiring in 2016. They also enjoy their 19th-century square-timbered cabin on a small acreage in Prince Edward County. Their son, Kurt, is an award-winning industrial designer in Toronto. ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.

Like the Rolling Stones we also have a reunion tour! Or maybe like the Beatles we just get together on a roof for one more show! Okay so we're exaggerating...a lot. However the original fab 4 of the show have returned together to talk Leafs, or more importantly Leafs coaching and management. We all lament and weep and sit in ashes regarding the extremely poor play of our beloved blue and white. Is there a solution in sight? Chris pushes hard for free agent diamonds but Brian insists we stay the course and Richards+Semin is just average Leafs gomer talk. We also talk about jersey throwing and things get a little abstract. Brian brings up Colin Campbell stuff he doesn't know anything about! We also discuss the Monsters freaking out. We then have Matt Kalman from www.thebruinsblog.net to talk Bruins and his book about them. As always we have a doozy for Wayne's Word and he makes hay for us!From the Richard Peddie suit jersey throwers at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

Ahead this week on AFITC, have the Toronto Maple Leafs reached a new low. Three more losses this week stretched their losing streak to eight games. We'll take you through a zero for Florida stretch and a disheartening loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Later in the Redline Report, we address comments from JS Giguere where he called out the compete level of his teammates, the possible departure of Richard Peddie from MLSE, and the new format for the 2011 NHL All Star Game. Back Checking gets the listeners involved when we feature some great contributions received this week through Twitter and Email, one of which, dare we say, is an “Email of the Year Candidate.” The Junior Hockey Report follows with news on the St. Michael's Buzzers and Team Canada East at the World Junior A Challenge. To wrap the segment, the Gong Banger is back for another Troubling Fact of the Week. Wrapping the show, we turn to rigamarole and discuss whether or not Nazem Kadri's call up was the most intelligent course of action for Brian Burke to take in order to get the Leafs out of their protracted slide. All that and more coming up on Episode 6.8 of AFITC.

My vision for Toronto and How Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is helping
