In this special episode of The People Teaching People Podcast, we celebrate a significant milestone—four years of podcasting—by welcoming two extraordinary guests, my parents, Susan and Brian Plesuk. Initially hesitant, with my mom doubting what insight she could possibly contribute and my dad concerned about memorizing lines, they eventually agreed to be on my podcast! I am grateful to my mom and dad not only for being exceptional parents but also for being lifelong teachers of kindness, generosity, community engagement, and the importance of nurturing relationships. These qualities have made them role models and my favourite educators outside of a traditional classroom setting, even though I might not have always seen it that way, especially during my teenage years. My mom, a retired social worker with an impressive career dedicated to domestic violence issues and community service, and my dad, with a background in community development and public relations, have led lives focused on making a difference. My mom's work has included various roles at the YWCA and consultancy for the Alberta Council of Women's Shelters, alongside volunteering efforts that support causes like the Stephen Lewis Foundation. My dad, after a career in community development and public relations, including significant contributions to the oil and gas industry, now enjoys retirement by travelling, volunteering, and spending time with family.  Their stories and wisdom are not only a reflection of their professional achievements but also of their personal commitment to family and community, making them the perfect guests for my podcast's celebration of four years of storytelling and learning.   Listen in as we talk about: [6:19] Pivotal moments and influences that led my parents to their respective careers [10:25] The motivation for and the impact of pursuing a university education  [12:02] The importance of mentorship [16:49] Key insights learned from parenthood and grandparenthood  [20:00] Core values and life lessons to pass on to children and grandchildren [23:53] The challenges and joys of retirement [29:50] Staying curious and always learning [32:33] My parents' favourite teachers [35:14] What my parents are most proud of [40:35] My parents answer some rapid-fire questions [45:17] Words of wisdom from my mom and dad   Connect with My Mom - Susan Plesuk: Instagram: @susanplesuk  Facebook: @susan.plesuk  LinkedIn: Susan Plesuk    Connect with Tiana: Website: https://tianafech.com LinkedIn: Tiana Fech Instagram: @tianafech  Facebook: @tianafech  Book: Online Course Creation 101: A step-by-step guide to creating your first online course    THEIR MOTIVATION FOR AND THE IMPACT OF PURSUING UNIVERSITY EDUCATION When my mom embarked on her university journey, she initially enrolled in sciences due to a late application before discovering her passion for recreation and therapeutic recreation through a high school acquaintance. This pivot was driven by her realization that higher education was crucial for her aspiration to work with people, highlighting a desire for personal and professional growth. My dad's path to university was shaped by a divergence from family tradition. He was the first in his extended family to attend university. With his family rooted in trades like plumbing and welding, my dad lacked those skills and saw academia as his only alternative.    THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTORSHIP “There are people out there who can teach us things and touch our lives regardless of their age, social status or education. Being open to that is really, really important.” - Brian Plesuk My mom's journey into mentorship stemmed from her supervisory role within an organization dealing with domestic violence, where she observed firsthand the effects of trauma. Her experience with a previous ineffective supervisor highlighted the importance of creating a supportive environment. This realization prompted her to prioritize open communication and establish a sa...

Liz Marshall and Face2Face host David Peck talk about Meat the Future, big, urgent questions, the good food institute, our moral compass, solution focused stories and clean meat.TrailerMore info here about Meat The Future here.Stream it now on CBC Gem.Synopsis:With animal agriculture occupying roughly 45% of the world’s ice-free surface area, producing more greenhouse gases than cars, the prospect of meat consumption doubling by 2050 is a wake-up call for solutions. The future may lie with “clean meat,” also referred to as “cell-based,” and “cultivated” meat – a food science that grows real meat from animal cells, without slaughtering animals. Meat the Future chronicles the birth of a revolutionary industry, and the mission to make it delicious, affordable and sustainable. Documented exclusively from 2016-2019, by award-winning filmmaker Liz Marshall (The Ghosts in Our Machine), the film follows pioneering food scientists who are risking everything to bring their product to supermarkets and restaurants in the near future. This timely character-driven documentary focuses largely on former Mayo Clinic Cardiologist Dr. Uma Valeti, co-founder and CEO of American start-up company Memphis Meats. In 2016, Valeti and his team unveiled an $18K/lb meatball. At the forefront of the industry, Memphis Meats has attracted tens of millions of dollars in investment from billionaire influencers and corporate food giants. Their confidence is buoyed by the plummeting price of the product-in-progress.There are salivating moments as well, as top-ranked chefs perform their magic on the meat-of-the-future. Says director Marshall “The future of cell-based meat is unknown, but its revolutionary promise and journey into the world is a powerful story that I believe will stand the test of time.”About Liz:Liz Marshall is an award-winning Canadian filmmaker.
