Today, we’re sitting down with someone who didn’t just take on the challenge of running a family business—he's continuing a legacy. Charlie Smith!!

If you’ve ever grabbed a pint at Joe Kool’s, crushed a pizza at Fellini Koolini’s, or sampled craft beer with local pride at Toboggan Brewing Co., you already know the Smith family’s fingerprint is all over the heartbeat of this city.

Now the torch has been passed. The next chapter belongs to Charlie Smith and his brother—second-generation owners, sons of founder Mike Smith, the guy responsible for creating some of London’s most iconic restaurants and pubs.

But here’s the real story we’re digging into today: What does it actually take to step into the shoes of a legend? How does a next-gen leader honour decades of history without becoming a museum curator… and still have the guts to innovate, evolve, and build something new?

Well, that's what we're here to explore with Charlie Smith! We’re talking legacy. We’re talking pressure. We’re talking the future of food, culture, and nightlife in this city.

This is an episode you don't want to miss!

Colin Hopper (affectionately known as 'Hop') has been the owner of London's Source for Sports for decades. A cool opportunity for our hosts Ryan and Scott to sit down with Hop, someone both of them have known for a long time being involved in sports themselves.

London's Source for Sports is truly a London Ontario business that has so much history, it's hard to explore all of it in one episode. We get the origin story of how Source London came to be, and how it continues to evolve to serve the active and sports community in London and area.

What is clear, is that having staff who truly "Know Their Stuff" playing the sports of the departments they work in, being involved in community, helping generations of families and truly caring about their customers, has been the recipe for success.

And at the heart of all of it is Colin Hopper, who you will still see walking the floor of the store, talking to customers, listening to staff suggestions and, yes, still fitting skates for customers! We get to hear some amazing stories, that had us laughing, crying and getting goosebumps.

What an episode, you won't want to miss with one of London's truly awesome business owners! Please enjoy, Hop!
