In this episode, I’m speaking with Art Aronson, a communications professional with the provincial government of British Columbia. Art shares his story of being adopted from Thailand by his American parents and raised in Canada, on Vancouver Island. We talk about work-life satisfaction and the challenges he faces as a public servant. We also discuss the societal pressures to be or do certain things and how they influence our decisions.

Dr. Dermell Brunson is a dedicated leader in youth development, mental health advocacy, and the arts. As the founder of Leaders of Tomorrow Youth Centre, he has spent years empowering young people through education, creativity, and leadership training.

Dermell and I talk about the importance of mentoring and how to connect with, build relationships, and support younger people. We also talk about how exposure to the arts can help adolescents and young adults learn about themselves, express themselves, and grow into their full potential.

If you are interested in entrepreneurship, travel, or you are simply a man who sets the bar high for himself, this episode is for you…why? Because my guest in this episode is Peter Collins, one of the most interesting people I’ve had the privilege of getting to know.

Peter is a serial entrepreneur, former British army commando, and professional photographer. He has been a high-level athlete - competing in marathons, ultra-marathons, and nearly made the Olympics in ski racing - and he has lived and travelled all over the world. Peter’s story is one of failure, never giving up, and always finding ways to pair creativity with business opportunities. I hope you enjoy and are inspired by the conversation.
