Dan Allard: Creating a Brewery That Didn’t Follow the Rules — On Purpose 1:17:22

for 2 dage siden1:17:22

Dan Allard helped start Cold Garden, one of Calgary’s most recognizable breweries. In this episode, we talk about how it came together, what drove the decisions behind it, and why building something a little different felt important. It’s a look at business, identity, and what it means to create something that reflects your values.

Scott Saxberg: Building Culture, Taking Risks, and Letting Go 1:17:06

for 9 dage siden1:17:06

1:17:06

I didn’t know Scott before this episode, but his story left a mark. He built Crescent Point from scratch, led for 18 years, and eventually stepped away. We talked about the pressure of being a young CEO, the impact of government policy on Calgary’s energy sector, and the moments where everything could’ve gone sideways. What stood out most was how much of his leadership style came from unlikely places—NHL locker rooms, family dinner tables, and quiet conversations with mentors. He built a culture where trust wasn’t just a word, and he’s still applying those lessons today as an entrepreneur, mentor, and now a published author. This one covers a lot: leadership, letting go, risk, reinvention, writing, and why culture really does matter. Especially when it’s built on friendship.

Kathy Macdonald: Why Saying YES to the Unknown Changes Everything 1:15:17

1:15:17

Most careers follow a straight path. Kathy Macdonald’s didn’t. She started as a fitness instructor, then became a police officer, then a cybercrime expert and keynote speaker. At every turn, she faced setbacks—like failing the police fitness test twice—but kept pushing forward. We talk about reinvention, resilience, and how small decisions lead to unexpected careers. Kathy shares how policing shaped her, why public speaking became her next challenge, and why most people hesitate before taking life-changing opportunities. This conversation was about adapting, pushing through failure, and recognizing the moments that shape us.

Kate Ryan: The Bold Choice That Led to an Unexpected Career in Circus 1:21:59

for 23 dage siden1:21:59

1:21:59

Kate Ryan’s path wasn’t typical. Growing up in a turbulent home, she learned early how to adapt and figure things out on her own. At 16, she left, chasing something bigger than the life she knew. That decision took her across the world, where she discovered circus arts, built a career, and eventually founded her own entertainment company. We get into what it takes to carve out a creative career from nothing—the struggle, the setbacks, and the relentless work behind the highlight reel. Kate shares what it was like navigating the gig economy, competing in an industry that prioritizes hustle over stability, and learning to balance passion with sustainability. A conversation about resilience, trust, and the mindset it takes to build a life on your own terms.

1:04:59

In this episode, I sat down with Musap 'Moose' Abde to talk about the realities of struggle, resilience, and finding purpose when life doesn’t go as planned. His story isn’t a straight line—it’s filled with setbacks, tough decisions, and moments that could’ve gone either way. We talked about what it’s like growing up between cultures, facing failure head-on, and why the hardest experiences often teach the most valuable lessons. Moose shared how he navigated everything from family challenges to starting over more than once, and how those experiences shaped his mindset around success. This isn’t a story about overnight change—it’s about the small, often uncomfortable steps it takes to figure out who you are and what really matters.

1:47:30

In this episode of The Calgary Sessions, I sit down with Alvin Law, a Hall of Fame speaker whose story challenges assumptions and reshapes perspectives.
