Today I talked with Izzy Germain! Izzy played university hockey at Dalhousie University before getting into broadcasting while still in college! She was the first ever female Public Address Announcer for the 2023 World Juniors, worked for the Boston Fleet as the director of Team Services/Hockey Operations, she is the COO of the Jill Saulnier Foundation, runs hockey operations for Hilary Knight’s hockey camps, was the lead play by play announcer for the PWHPA for the 2022-23, and so much more in the hockey world! Recently, she brought Taylor Heise’s first-ever hockey camp to life at Ridder!

We talked about her philosophies in hockey and life, how she transitioned to being involved in hockey in new ways, her best advice on relationship building, and her thoughts on mental health.

This was such a special conversation, and I am so humbled that Izzy took the time to speak with me! It was so wonderful to learn from her, and I know you’ll take a lot of value from this episode.

Connect with her on Instagram @IzzyGermain to see all the great stuff she’s up to! Take 10 seconds to leave a review for the show if you enjoyed it! I’ll see you next week!

Bye!

hi all! today's episode is part of my larger effort to provide short mindset tips more often on the pod!

today I chat about how to go about asking for/receiving advice from people. it's important to consider the perspective others are coming to you with when they give you advice. not all advice will be helpful for you and polling more people won't necessarily help you make better decisions.

Today I got to talk with Francis Marotte! He played college hockey at Robert Morris before transferring to Clarkson in his senior year, where he was one of the top goalies in the nation, earning All-American Honors, ECAC Hockey Ken Dryden Goaltender of the Year, and First Team League All-Star.

After Clarkson, he played professional hockey in the AHL, ECHL, and EIHL. Now he is a performance coach, co-founder of the brand Stride Lifestyle along with Anthony Callin of the Worcester Railers. He’s built a big following online sharing his story and great performance tips for athletes.

We had a phenomenal conversation about how your habits shape your identity, the keys to being successful, and why success doesn’t happen overnight. Frank has an awesome perspective and is dedicated to being his best self while helping others do the same. I am super thankful he took the time to come on the podcast to chat!

Enjoy!

Unfortunately, shortly after we recorded this, episode Frank's Instagram was disabled. He’s currently working to get it back, so I will post an update to my Instagram regarding that as soon as I hear news.

Take care, have a great week!
