E-scooter injuries are on the rise in Canada -- and they're becoming increasingly common among kids under 18. A new survey released by the Canadian Pediatric Association found ten children died in the last year after an e-scooter collision, and the number of severe injuries has also increased. We speak with Dr. Daniel Rosenfield, a pediatric emergency physician at SickKids hospital in Toronto, about why these injuries are becoming more common year after year, what he's seen in his own ER, and what can be done to prevent more collisions.

Do successful leaders need to be ruthless, or can kindness, character, and high performance coexist?In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin and Al sit down with Scott Vanderwel, CEO of PointsBet Canada, for a candid conversation about people-first leadership, strategic growth, employee empowerment, and building a successful company without compromising who you are.Scott was brought in to build PointsBet Canada before Ontario's regulated online gaming market officially opened. Starting with a team of three, an emerging industry, and no established Canadian brand presence, he had to determine where the company could compete, how it would earn trust, and which opportunities were worth pursuing.He shares how PointsBet used strategic partnerships with organizations including Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Curling Canada, the NHL Players' Association, the NBA, and the NFL to establish credibility in a rapidly evolving market. Scott also explains why being ready on day one, controlling the company's technology, and focusing on in-play betting gave PointsBet a meaningful point of differentiation.But the heart of this conversation is not betting. It is leadership.Whether you are a CEO, entrepreneur, people leader, executive, or emerging leader, this conversation is a powerful reminder that success is not only measured by what you build. It is also measured by how you treat people while building it.You'll hear about:How Scott Vanderwel built PointsBet Canada from the ground up What leaders learn inside a startup that established businesses cannot teach them How strategic partnerships helped an unfamiliar brand earn trust Why choosing what not to pursue is essential to business strategy How PointsBet differentiated itself through proprietary technology Why geographic focus helped the company concentrate its resources Why strategy means little if you cannot move people toward it Why Scott's team believes he should run a CEO school How leaders can inspire people to contribute their “extra 25%” Scott's personal definition of success and stakeholder balance Why you do not have to be ruthless to become successful How to make difficult people decisions while preserving dignity How regulated gaming can create greater consumer protection The example Scott hopes to leave for the next generation of leadersWe talk about:00:00 Al McDonald's Great Cycle Challenge for SickKids 00:56 Meet Scott Vanderwel, CEO of PointsBet Canada 02:23 Building PointsBet Canada before Ontario's market opened 05:02 Creating a market-entry strategy in a brand-new industry 06:08 Earning trust through major Canadian sports partnerships 08:13 The skills Scott carried from Rogers into the CEO role 13:09 Choosing where to compete and where not to play 16:00 How in-play betting became a competitive advantage 18:27 Why starting with Ontario gave PointsBet greater focus 21:08 Why Scott's team says he should run a CEO school 23:24 Creating the conditions for people to do their best work 28:18 Scott's personal definition of success 33:12 The mentors who shaped Scott's leadership 35:13 Why successful leaders do not have to be ruthless 40:56 Making difficult decisions with consistency and humanityConnect with ScottLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottyvanderwel/ Website: https://join.pointsbet.ca/ Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

Do you ever run out of your time off at work because of your sick kids?

This week we discuss a recent report from the team at SickKids in Toronto on minimally invasive cardiac surgery. What sorts of operations are most common for this approach? Why are length of ICU and length of hospitalization periods lower in this surgical cohort than more traditional midline sternotomy approaches? How does one train a surgeon to perform these operations if the surgical exposure is so small, allowing only the priimary surgeon to see the majority of the surgery? What are the limits of this sort of surgical approach? These are amongst the questions posed to the first author of this work, Associate Professor of Surgery at University of Toronto, Dr. Christoph Haller. DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2025.12.009

What happens when life-saving medications exist, but patients still can't access them?In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin Bailey and Al McDonald sit down with John Leombruno, CEO of OkRx, healthcare entrepreneur, pharmacist, and former founder of Patient Direct Pharmacy and GMD Distribution, to explore one of healthcare's biggest hidden challenges: helping patients get the medications they need without being buried in paperwork, outdated systems, and administrative delays.John shares how witnessing breakthrough treatments transform children's lives at SickKids Hospital shaped his career and inspired him to focus on improving patient access rather than simply developing new therapies. That experience became the foundation for building businesses that simplify specialty medication access for patients, physicians, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies.The conversation explores why healthcare still relies heavily on manual processes, how digitizing prior authorization can dramatically reduce administrative burden, and why trust, relationships, and patient-first thinking remain essential when introducing innovation into one of the world's most complex industries.John also discusses entrepreneurship in healthcare, balancing innovation with patient safety, the realities of building trust across healthcare systems, and why lasting business success begins with solving meaningful problems.You'll hear about:How a life-changing experience at SickKids Hospital shaped John's entrepreneurial journey Why patient access remains one of healthcare's biggest challenges The hidden barriers preventing patients from receiving specialty medications Why healthcare still relies on outdated administrative systems How digital prior authorization can transform patient care The importance of building trust before driving innovation Why patient-first thinking leads to better business decisions Balancing innovation with patient safety The role technology plays in reducing healthcare administration Building successful healthcare companies by solving real problems Lessons from multiple healthcare exits and entrepreneurial ventures Why relationships matter more than speed in healthcare innovation How healthcare technology can improve outcomes for patients and providers Creating meaningful impact through purpose-driven entrepreneurshipWe talk about:00:00 Introduction to John Leombruno and OkRx02:10 The experience at SickKids that changed John's career forever05:15 Why breakthrough medications still don't guarantee patient access07:00 What a truly patient-centered healthcare system should look like10:20 Why specialty medications are becoming mainstream healthcare11:00 Building OkRx to simplify specialty medication access14:20 Balancing scientific thinking with entrepreneurial leadership16:10 Why trust is healthcare's most valuable currency18:00 How innovation succeeds one relationship at a time21:00 Planting seeds that improve healthcare for future generationsConnect with John:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-leombruno-4bb1777/ Website: https://www.okrx.ca/ Connect with Us:LinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

A new study out of SickKids is opening a window into how scientists understand autism. Researchers have identified a previously overlooked gene linked specifically to the social interaction and repetitive behavioural traits associated with autism, a discovery they say could help improve genetic testing and eventually lead to more targeted therapies. Dr. Stephen Scherer, senior scientist and chief of research at SickKids, discusses what makes this finding so significant.

An estimated four million Canadians currently live abroad. So what compels someone to ditch their life in Canada and start over in a different part of the world? From Bogotá to Tokyo, Cape Town to València, Now or Never crisscrosses the globe with expats living out some big, bold adventures right now.Joshua Will dreamed of living in Japan since he was 14-years-old, so when he got a job with the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET) he was ecstatic. But he never expected to find himself on tiny Yuge Island, navigating the wild world of Japanese real estate, and renovating a 100-year-old house with no experience and few language skills.At age 75, Janet Skog-Reid moved to Spain with her children and grandchildren. But when they returned to Vancouver, Janet decided to stay. How this grandmother who spent her life caring for others, is now chasing a life that is finally her own.When Calgarian Aaron Cresswell bumped into Laura Fajardo at a crowded bar in Bogotá, the two instantly hit it off — so much so, that he ended up moving to the country to be with her. But it soon sunk in that while Aaron found his forever person, he definitely didn't find his forever home in Colombia. Barb Deck is no stranger to intense situations — when she's at home, she's a pediatric ICU nurse at Sick Kids in Toronto. But since joining Médecins Sans Frontières, Barb spends most of her time tackling even bigger challenges, flying to conflict zones around the world to help deliver care.Four months ago, Chloe Wilde and her partner quit their jobs, sold their Toronto home, and bought a one-way ticket to South Africa with their two-year-old son.

Tell us about your pet's funniest habit or a special moment you've shared, and we might feature your Pet Pal in our next segment. Bio Rodney Kaufman In an industry often defined by good intentions, Rodney Kaufman has built his reputation on something far more powerful: standards. As the founder of Corporate Canine Therapy, Rodney is not only shaping how therapy dog programs are delivered across the GTA and Ottawa; he is influencing how organizations think about psychological safety, risk management, and human wellness through the lens of canine-assisted support. With more than 10,000 hours of hands-on field experience, his work has taken place in the environments where excellence is not optional: hospitals, complex care units, schools, large corporate workplaces, and first responder settings. This is not theory. This is lived expertise. From Frontline Volunteering to Advanced Hospital Placements Rodney's career began with years of volunteering through St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Services, progressing through every handler level and culminating in advanced placements at SickKids. Working alongside his soul dog, Harlow, he supported paediatric patients, families, and peer support initiatives that included first responders. Their work in complex care environments required a rare level of stability, intuition, and trust. The very qualities that now define the teams he mentors. In recognition of her extraordinary impact, Harlow was awarded Volunteer of the Year at SickKids for her work with children under one year of age. Today, Rodney's work continues with Juno, his Great Dane and the current mascot of Corporate Canine Therapy who is a visible symbol of the calm, confident presence that has become the organization's signature. As Corporate Canine Therapy continues to grow, Rodney's role is increasingly that of mentor, evaluator, and thought leader. Developing the next generation of therapy dog teams while helping institutions integrate canine-assisted wellness in a way that is ethical, effective, and sustainable. Because in the right hands, a therapy dog program is not a visit. It is a strategy. www.corporatecaninetherapy.ca Corporatecaninetherapy@gmail.com

Canadian hospitals are increasingly relying on donor dollars to make up for government funding cuts.

So who better to help us survey this hospital branding landscape than legendary ad man and host of CBC's Under the Influence, Terry O'Reilly?

Your kids head back to school… and suddenly, everyone's coughing. The runny noses, the fevers, the endless cycle of bringing germs home—it's part of family life.That was us this week. Sick again. Tired again. And honestly? It's frustrating. But in the middle of it, I realized something: even when our bodies feel weak, Jesus is still looking out for us.Just like a parent who keeps watch when their kids are sick, God doesn't step away when life wears us down. He's steady. He's faithful. And He cares for us in every season—even the germy ones.In this episode, we talk about finding God's presence in the everyday struggles, how even sickness can remind us of our need for Him, and why His care is constant.

I will probably spend the foreseeable future periodically reminding the world that when everyone was angry at Israel for starving children in Gaza, Israel's apologists spent days loudly proclaiming that no, they were actually just starving SICK children. As their DEFENSE they said this. They actually believed this helped their case. Reading by Tim Foley.

Story at-a-glance The MAHA Commission's new report identifies food toxins, overmedication and environmental stressors as core drivers behind the surge in childhood chronic illness CDC data show that 87% of U.S. children have glyphosate in their urine, pointing to daily exposure through common foods like wheat, oats and corn-based snacks Federal agencies are now being mobilized to close research gaps, overhaul outdated food safety laws and launch real-time tracking of toxic exposures Chronic illness isn't just about genetics; it's the result of daily inputs like poor food quality, artificial light, lack of movement and excess screen time Removing inflammatory foods, restoring sleep and sunlight routines, and cleaning up your home environment gives your child's biology the conditions it needs to heal
