We touch on a legendary Marble Club story about some Montreal Canadiens.19.10- In Part 2 of our discussion Paul describes how not all interviews go well, and as a broadcaster you learn from them. He tells about a couple of situations with NHL greats Joe Sakic and Mike Babcock. The foundation was laid in his days at Red River College by "some old heavyweights" and he explains how influential our friend Brian Smiley was when he began his career covering the Western Hockey League. 26.50- Paul Edmonds says "I'm a by-product" of the rich tradition of Winnipeg sports broadcasters - "a wealth of broadcasting luminaries" - and some inspired the development of his pacing and style. 31.00- Some word association about old-time Winnipeg sports and media figures, and which athletes he met that made him turn 'fanboi' in their presence. It happens to all of us!Paul Edmonds: "You never forget those people that helped you along the way."******The Season Six funding campaign has received our first contribution, even before we kicked it off!We will be revealing the fundraising target soon.

My friends, I'm about to go skiing for the first time in over 4-years at the end of January. So I needed to consult with the #1 person I know in the world on this. Her name is Jennifer Lockwood and you're going to want to know her if you are into skiing and fitness. She's a pro amongst pros. She's a fit-pro who has been changing lives for more than 30-years. And she's an elite skier, instructor, and pro who knows the snow-skiing world better than anyone I know. Oh, and she just happens to be a long-standing extraordinary member & teammate in the Todd Durkin Mastermind group of fitness pros, trainers, coaches, and fitness business owners.  I can tell you this….today's IMPACT SHOW will start strong, be smooth throughout, and come burning through the gates at the end. Heck, we may all even have an “apres-ski” afterwards (of what is technically the last show of 2023. Whaatt???). Here is SOME of what you will get today…along with a whole heckuva lot smack talking from me as I challenge her to a downhill race (what was I thinking!). Here we GO… Jenn's background in skiing, fitness, training, and how she eventually married her love for training, fitness, and skiing? What does the Todd Durkin Mastermind mean to you?  Favorite memory or two from the Mastermind… What are your Top 2 or 3 big accomplishments from this past year? Share 2-3 of your BIG goals for 2024. Jenn shares a ton about her desire to get her Peak Ski Conditioning program in even more ski-enthusiasts hands because people can do the “dry-land” training anywhere with very little equipment and it's all virtual…and it WILL improve their skiing.  If there was one person on your Mastermind Team you wanted to give a special shout out to, who would that be and why? If someone was a fit-pro, trainer, or coach, why should they consider joining the Mastermind? Where is Jenn Lockwood going to be in 3-years? All of Jenn's follow-up contact information and the very special BONUS (you will not believe this!) if you get her program before January 25th… I love seeing Jenn Lockwood live life. She's combining all her passions, including supporting her two sons who are “extreme” snowboarder athletes.
