Peter Bishop never meant to become a creative leader, tech strategist, and beverage entrepreneur—but that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, we dive into Peter’s unconventional journey from bartender and illustrator to partner at ZGM and the mind behind Stickler.

We unpack the lessons learned from trial by fire, why starting new businesses fuels his creativity, the challenge of selling something you’ve built, and what it really takes to stay inspired when self-doubt kicks in. Oh - and how AI is taking over the world…

A conversation full of humour, heart, and hard-earned wisdom.

Born and raised in Germany’s legendary Black Forest, Scott Sunderwald has lived a life deeply connected to the wild.

From the German Forestry Service to wilderness education in BC and Saskatchewan, Scott’s passion for bushcraft, survival, and storytelling has shaped a career devoted to the outdoors.

For the past 17 years, he’s called Alberta’s rugged Northern Rockies home, working with Alberta Parks and living the lessons he teaches.

He’s also the author of “Radically Wild – True Tales of Adventure, Wilderness Survival, and Hard Lessons,”. His book is out now - and I can honestly say it’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long time!

Colin Patterson’s journey began on the ice — ten seasons in the NHL, eight of them with the Calgary Flames, where he helped lift the Stanley Cup in 1989. But his legacy didn’t end when the skates came off. Today, as a Director with the Calgary Flames Alumni, Colin channels the same drive and teamwork that fueled his playing days into making a difference across Alberta.

From leading the SuperHEROS program — creating space in hockey for kids with cognitive and physical challenges — to championing causes like KidSport, Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids, and the Breaking Free Foundation, Colin has become a cornerstone of the Alumni’s mission to give back.

In this episode, Colin shares the lessons he’s learned about leadership, inclusion, and the power of community — reminding us that true champions aren’t defined by trophies, but by the lives they impact long after the final whistle.
