When you meet Angie Hill….you get Angie Hill! There is no pretense there. It’s true authenticity through and through.

She’s opinionated. She’s direct. She’s funny. She’s smart as hell. And she cares! Often, what you get on air isn’t what you get off air. Is it any wonder why she has survived an industry that has been rife with cuts and reinvention?

Finding your true self, committing to it and being your authentic you are powerful tools to staying grounded, finding success, and finding happiness. Especially during times of pure hell.

We can’t say enough about this amazing person, Angie Hill.

The art of sales is as specialized and necessary as breathing when it comes to life. You’d think a teacher and musician wouldn’t know or need to know how to sell. You couldn’t be more mistaken.

Kevin learned the value of having people believe in him, which led to a confidence and a freedom to pursue whatever dream he had.

There are great lessons in parenthood, creative environments, rejection and perseverance in this episode. A truly inspirational and awe inspiring dude.

Leadership evolves from self awareness, developing others, enduring impact, vision and stewardship. Isabel Cisterna is the full package. In this, the second of two episodes featuring Isabel, we witness the embodiment of true leadership and graceful humility.

Join us to hear how Isabel manages to drive her ambitious vision, lead a remarkable team and deliver experiences that impact the lives of so many…..on 30% energy.

Her message to us is something we should take to heart. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

Jacqui Murphy has been instrumental in the successes of some of the fastest growing tech companies in North America. She joined PixStream when it had less than 40 employees and less than two years later it was sold to Cisco in what is deemed one of the largest technology acquisitions in Canadian history. She was a VC, a business instructor, an advisor and then joined a new company called Auvik Networks which quickly became one of the fastest growing tech companies in North America for three years running. Jacqui is now the co-founder of a new startup called Elderella, and we have no doubt this is going to be another home run.

It’s been a life of chaos, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Isabel Cisterna is truly an innovator, a founder and an artist. If anyone can talk to the road from F’ My Life to Fix My Life to Find My Life, it’s this amazing woman. A target of human trafficking, an escape from a Communist Dictatorship and a commitment to rebuilding communities truly defines this local leader.

In the first of two episodes with Isabel, we learn who Isabel Cisterna is, what she believes in and the incredible journey that made her one of the Regions most dynamic and ambitious arts leaders.

Some people just lead by example. They’re quiet, they’re purposeful and they’re gracious.

While everyone is trying to lead lives dictated by others, the truly happy ones lead lives dictated by their hearts.

Andy MacPherson is a big deal in the music world. He’s also a big deal in the education world. It was never about the love of the institutions; it was always about his love of others.

The funny thing is, the music he plays can be pretty loud. Not what you’d expect from a humble and quiet dude.

A big failing with men is that they were, and are typically, not allowed to be human. It was seen as weakness to need help, to shed a tear, to fail and to fall. Thankfully, the world is changing.

The fact is, the strongest men on earth are the ones who seek help. To hear from one of Canada’s greatest sports media icons, like Dan O’Toole, describe how he fell, and what it took to get back up is nothing short of courageous and absolutely necessary.

We used to think Dan was a great anchor man. Now we know he is an incredible family man, an incredible friend, and an incredible human. Please listen to the story of someone who has truly risen out of the ashes, and lives to help others.

Ken Seiling dropped out of a promising teaching career for a life in public service. That leap of faith was daring and, some would say, ill advised at the time. When you know your passion though, you really must serve it, and that’s what Ken did.

He served the Region of Waterloo for almost five decades, building one of the most successful regions in North America.

We could classify him as a founder, we could also classify him as a musician, but his greatest talent was as a community builder. And what a builder he was.

Please grab a coffee and listen to Ken take us through what it takes to build community greatness.
