Steve Howe, motivational speaker and Safety Director at Emil Anderson Group, joins The Safety Guru this week to share his powerful story with us. He suffered a serious injury at work in 2006 when an excavator bucket struck him through his abdomen. Steve shares insights surrounding motivations behind shortcuts, the crucial influence that supervisors possess in truly promoting a safe culture, and practical ways for safety leaders to make safety simple. Drawing from his personal journey and rich experiences, Steve makes safety concepts relatable and easy to understand through emphasizing that safety should remain everyone's responsibility. Tune in to learn, be inspired, and make safety simple with Steve Howe. About the Guest: With over 18 years in the construction industry, Steve Howe understands the daily hazards faced by workers and why safety is often viewed as an impedance. In the spring of 2006, while working as a young tree faller on the Sea to Sky Highway project in British Columbia, Steve suffered an unimaginable injury. Despite the feeling that something wasn't right that morning, Steve pushed forward – as many would – to get the job done. Unfortunately for Steve, this decision - to ignore his gut - resulted in being struck by an excavator bucket through his abdomen and being dragged for several feet. It was the beginning of a drastically altered life. Living through 83 surgeries, 90 Days in a Coma and over 500 days in a hospital allowed Steve the opportunity to reflect on his accident and he developed a passion to share his story with others. His message of survival, emphasizing the importance of working safety not just for yourself but others around you, has been heard all around the world.

Today, Mark and Ben are diving deep into the topic of infrastructure and renewable resources. They discuss what infrastructure is, what the infrastructure space actually looks like, how infrastructure works, the risks associated with investing in infrastructure as an asset class, how it fits into a portfolio, and what Nicola Wealth looks for in infrastructure or renewable resource projects as a solid investment.

Gerhard's West Canada Euer Wegweiser den Westen Canadas für euch zu entdecken Whistler downtown Begleitende Internetseite, Bilder und Kartenausschnitte www.gerhards-west-canada.de   In den bisherigen Folgen der Podcast-Serie Gerhard's West Canada hat man sich nahezu den ganzen Süden British Columbia's, sowie den Südwesten der Nachbarprovinz Alberta erschlossen. Es waren auch einige Tipps dabei das Reisen mit einem Wohnmobil betreffend, sowie was es bedeutet, seinen eigenen Camper in Kanada zu besitzen. Auch von Erlebnissen auf Entdeckungsfahrten mit dem Kanu wurde berichtet. In den Episoden ist man von Vancouver und Vancouver Island aus, durch die Region Thompson Okanagan und durch die Kootenay Rockies bis an die Rocky Mountains herangekommen. Dann die Canadian Rocky Mountains selbst. Beginnend nordwestlich im Mount Robson Park ist man von dort in den Jasper und Banff National Park hinein und hat auch deren Nachbarn die National Parks Yoho und Kootenay besucht, bis hinunter in den Süden an die Grenze zu den USA, zum Waterton Lakes National Park. Kommt man während seiner Westkanadareise auf dem Weg von oder nach Vancouver durch die südlichen Coast Mountains British Columbia's, führt einen der Sea-to-Sky-Highway an einem der angesagtesten Wintersportorte Nordamerika's vorbei. Dieser hat durchaus auch in den Sommermonaten einiges zu bieten, so daß man sich den Ort schon einmal ansieht und hineinfährt nach Whistler downtown Viel Vergnügen beim Zuhören, der Reiseplanung und natürlich dem Wichtigsten, der Reise selbst. Herzlichen Gruß Gerhard Ibl
