What does it take for a region to thrive?In this special Summit Series episode, we sat down with entrepreneur, investor and 'Dragon' on CBC's Dragons' Den, Manjit Minhas to explore the connections between business, government, education, people and community that drive economic growth.From collaboration and talent to taking risks and saying yes more often, Manjit shares the ideas that will shape her keynote at the Ignite Summit on October 20 in Fredericton.

Pack your bags, and make sure you dress warmly because we will be on the ice this week in both Canada and Russia. We are mixing it up here at MRAC and spending the month watching sports documentaries that include the subplot of international war politics. The title for this month is War Sports: On Invasion Games and “Politics by other means.” And as an added bonus, this month is cohosted by old friend to MRAC and brother of one of the members, Renzo. We welcome back Renzo who curated this month along with Marco. Week 1's focus is on hockey and more specifically the Cold War, sport as a reflection of ethos, fences and neighbors, sport as an expression of national greatness, and befriending your enemies. All of that jam packed into an hour and a half.We hope you enjoy. Tune in next week where we watch Diego Maradona (2019) among other things, and shift our focus to soccer (and other things).email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

Send us Fan MailGet your Solo Consultant Summit tickets... FREE.A layoff can feel like the floor drops out from under you, but it can also expose a hard truth: if your network and reputation only exist inside your job title, you are more vulnerable than you think. We sit down with Nikki Ramirez, personal brand strategist and LinkedIn content creator, to talk about how she rebuilt her career after being unexpectedly let go, then turned LinkedIn into a steady, inbound engine for consulting and coaching.We get practical about what “authentic” really means online. Nikki shares her authentic story framework and explains why authenticity is not oversharing. It is choosing the parts of your story that support your goals, speaking in a voice that is actually yours, and repeating the message with intention until the right people recognize you. We also talk about the reality of building a personal brand while you are still employed, including the corporate red tape, the skepticism from coworkers, and the smart way to protect your future without burning bridges.Then we dig into LinkedIn strategy that converts: curating your feed so it feels like a curated networking party, treating your profile like a landing page, and using a “Trojan horse” content approach that educates, entertains, or inspires while still reminding people what you do. Nikki breaks down top-of-funnel, middle-of-funnel, and bottom-of-funnel LinkedIn content so you can balance reach with credibility and clear offers, whether you are a corporate marketer, a consultant, or a founder trying to stop living on outbound.If you want more inbound leads, stronger positioning, and a personal brand built to last beyond any company name, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a friend who is planning their leap, and leave a review with your biggest LinkedIn question.Nikki Ramirez:Nikki is a Pittsburgh-based marketing consultant, LinkedIn creator, brand storyteller, and professional oversharer who believes your voice is your most underutilized business asset and is passionate about helping others use it to build their personal brands and businesses.Website | LinkedInDiscover 3 simple yet powerful changes to make to your pricing and proposal strategy so that you can 5x your income without working 5x harder.SAVE YOUR SPOTSupport the showSchedule a Booked-out Blueprint >>> Schedule.Come tour my digital home :) >>>WebsiteWanna be friends? >>> LinkedInLet's chat every Tuesday! >>> NewsletterCatch the video podcast on YouTube >>>YouTubeJoin my event group for live events >>>Meetup

Send us Fan MailJoe's new Solo System. | LinkedInGet your FREE Solo Consultant Summit ticket.Your best prospects are already trying to buy without you. They are researching, comparing options, checking proof, and building a shortlist before they ever reach out and if your consulting website hides the deliverables, the process, or the pricing signal, you get filtered out early. That is the real reason “sales” can feel stressful and weird: the offer is full of unknowns, so the call turns into a persuasion session.We sit down with Joe Daniels, who helps B2B consultants package and position their offers so they practically sell themselves. Joe breaks down why bespoke-first work creates confusion for buyers and chaos for delivery, how transparent pricing can be handled without boxing yourself in, and why a tight entry offer can build trust fast. We also talk about replacing the traditional sales call with a fit-focused diagnostic conversation and why charging for diagnosis beats giving away strategy in a proposal.Joe shares his “Three Ds” of buyability: make the offer desired by naming the real problem, make it different by explaining why the usual approach fails, and make it decisive by giving prospects the details they need to choose now. If you sell into larger organizations, we cover how to write for the internal champion and provide sales enablement assets for decision makers who only care about sign-off details.If this helps, subscribe, share it with a consultant friend, and leave a review. What is one detail you could add to your offer page today to make buying feel obvious?Are you tired of prospects ghosting you? With a Gateway Offer, that won't happen.Over the next Ten Days, we will launch and sell our Gateway Offers with the goal of reaching booked-out status!Join the challenge here.

Send us Fan MailGet your free Solo Consultant Summit ticket.Pre-order Kendall's book.Your calendar doesn't need more sales calls. It needs better information.I'm joined by storytelling and sales writing expert Kendall Cherry, and we get surprisingly tactical about the unsexy part of marketing that quietly controls your pipeline: the inquiry form. Kendall explains how she uses a detailed inquiry form to qualify leads, understand budget and readiness, and move straight to a proposal and video walkthrough. The payoff is real: less scheduling chaos, fewer “let's hop on a call” loops, and a faster path from inquiry to close.From there, we go deeper into positioning. Kendall breaks down what it actually means to become a category of one when you're in a crowded field like consulting, coaching, copywriting, or design. We talk about the difference between a vague bucket label and messaging that highlights your distinct process, your real transformation, and the background you may be under-selling. If referrals feel slow or you keep attracting wrong-fit clients, this is the lens that makes your work easier to describe and easier to buy.We also challenge the default advice to “niche down.” Kendall argues that choosing a market beats shrinking into a narrow industry box, especially for creative, multi-hyphenate consultants who want career longevity. Along the way we touch on energy drain, alignment, and why selling in 2026 and beyond has to feel honest, sustainable, and human.If you're coming to the Solo Consultant Summit, don't miss Kendall's live inquiry form teardown.

Agreements for Sale Explained: Real Seller Financing Deals With Zero Money Down Seller financing sounds almost too good to be true. An investor buys a property with little or none of their own money. The seller leaves financing in place. The investor operates the property, collects rent, benefits from cash flow and mortgage paydown, and eventually pays the seller out according to the terms of the agreement. In Canada, one strategy Wayne used extensively to accomplish this is an Agreement for Sale. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby continue yesterday's seller-financing discussion by breaking down two real Agreements for Sale Wayne negotiated himself. These are not hypothetical examples. They show how Agreements for Sale can work in the real world, why a seller might agree to one, how Wayne found these opportunities, what he listened for during conversations with sellers, and why the best Agreement for Sale deals create a legitimate win for both sides. As Wayne says: "If you understand the strategies, you'll recognize the opportunities."

Can You Fully Finance an Investment Property? Can you buy an investment property without bringing your own down payment? Sometimes. But there is a big difference between what is technically possible and what is actually smart. In today's episode of the Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby answer a listener question about borrowing the down payment for an investment property, using home equity, private lenders and seller financing. The biggest takeaway is simple: You can sometimes borrow the money — but the source of that money, the cost of that money and the risk you are taking matter enormously.

Who was the first dirtbag? In collaboration with filmmakers Chad Heddleston and Parker Michels-Boyce, we go back in time to meet Jan Conn. Jan and Herb Conn took what might have been the first climbing road trip, created one of the first climbing magazines and films and pioneered first ascents across the country. Their greatest contribution to our sport though might be their commitment to utilizing their time to follow their passions. In 1945, that was about as radical as it gets.  Catching Pinecones Trailer Chad's Roanoke Star Climb Watch Climbing Gold on YouTube Thanks to our sponsors The North Face Check out Summit Series at thenorthface.com  Kodiak Cakes Find Kodiak products at your local grocery store, they're the ones with the bear on the box or learn more at Kodiakcakes.com Turtlebox Take your music anywhere turtleboxaudio.com Factor Eat smart at FactorMeals.com/ClimbingGold50OFF and use code CLIMBINGGOLD50OFF to get 50% off and free daily greens per box LMNT Get your free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase at www.drinklmnt.com/climbinggold  Want Climbing Gold ad free?

What You'll Learn in This Episode:In this episode, Patrick Adams is joined by Rebecca Moyers, Director of Operational Excellence for the State of Missouri, for a preview of her session at the Lean Solutions Summit, The Feedback Advantage. Rebecca shares how the State of Missouri is using employee and customer feedback to guide process improvement, strengthen experiences, and focus limited resources on the improvements that matter most.The conversation explores how Missouri built an operational excellence community across 17 executive agencies, uses feedback to support both employee and customer experience, and applies omni-channel listening to better understand the entire customer journey. Rebecca also explains why organizations need to look beyond internal silos and consider whether every part of an experience connects seamlessly from the customer's perspective.Rebecca shares practical examples of collecting feedback through website interactions, surveys, call centers, and operational data, and emphasizes that organizations shouldn't ask for feedback unless they're prepared to act on it. Most importantly, she explains that these principles aren't limited to government or large organizations; teams in virtually any industry can use intentional feedback to improve processes, culture, and the experiences they create.Key Takeaways:Feedback helps organizations focus improvement efforts on what matters mostGreat customer experiences require looking at the entire journey—not individual silosEmployee and customer feedback become more powerful when paired with operational dataDon't ask for feedback unless you're prepared to act on itLinks:https://www.findleansolutions.com/lean-summit/https://www.findleansolutions.com/

Connor Herson couldn't legally drive when he freed the Nose in 2018, competently navigating up his way up a route only Lynn Hill and Tommy Caldwell had freed. The climbing world wondered where this prodigy would take traditional climbing. In the years that followed, Connor was busy with regular teenage life – finishing up high school and heading for college. In 2025, the climbing world stopped wondering and watched as the 22-year-old put together the single greatest year of trad climbing.

On this episode, we sit down with Zach Parise — Olympic silver medalist, long-time leader with the Minnesota Wild, and one of the most relentless two-way forwards of his era. A relentless competitor… a clutch performer… and one of the most respected American players of his generation. The son of former NHLer J. P. Parise, who played in the historic Summit Series, Zach grew up in a hockey family and carved out a career defined by work ethic, leadership, and big-moment performances. Parise was also a central figure in Team USA’s unforgettable run at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, scoring one of the most dramatic goals in U.S. hockey history — a last-minute equalizer against Canada in the gold-medal game that stunned the hockey world and forced overtime. Parise reflects on growing up around the NHL, the pressure and pride of the Olympic stage, his years in New Jersey & Minnesota, and the mindset that made him one of the game’s most relentless competitors. It’s a story of family legacy, Olympic drama, and the drive that defined one of American hockey’s most respected players.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When protests erupted in Iran in fall of 2022, human rights activist and professional climber Nasim Eshqi was climbing in France. As she watched the uprising back home unfold, Nasim knew that returning home at that moment would mean arrest and imprisonment at the hands of the government. She doubled down on her criticism of Iran's repressive regime and used her climbing to bring the struggle to the international climbing community.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Wayne Gretzky locker-room snub rumour, the Oilers' disastrous effort in Anaheim, Tristan Jarry's struggles, Tyler's hypotheticals, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Olympic hockey final and a rumour that came out this morning saying Wayne Gretzky was not allowed in the room for a pre-game speech. Given that the rumour started on Barn Burner, it's been interesting to see how much noise came out of Mike Commodore's comments on the show. While the rumour has been shot down by Hockey Canada, social media has continued to run with the story.Changing gears, the conversation turned to Tyler's list of "fun" hypothetical scenarios that weren't really all that fun. Unfortunately, those hypotheticals didn't do much to lift the mood in the room, as everyone was still notably annoyed by how the Oilers are playing right now. From undoing the Skinner-for-Jarry trade or adjusting current Oilers contracts to free up cap dollars, Tyler offered a few this-or-that scenarios that were as sad as they were tricky to parse.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life, running through topics, starting with staying away from social media in the days after the gold medal game, rivalries growing the game, the 2028 World Cup vs. a Summit Series-style head-to-head, and beefs of the week. As you'll hear and likely expect, this week's episode of Real Life covered a lot of ground and topics that were all over the map. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sportsnet and Hockey Night in Canada's David Amber (5:32) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about the outcome from Canada vs. USA's Gold Medal hockey game, if Hockey Canada brought the right personnel to Milan, what winning the gold medal and Captaining USA Hockey could do for Auston Matthews and the Maple Leafs for the rest of the season, how the loss could fuel Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, and if the NHL should reintroduce a Summit Series between USA and Canada for a 7-game series in the future.

Whether it's climbing, photography or filmmaking, Jimmy has spent a career figuring out the most bad ass goal in whatever medium and then making it happen.
