Life’s greatest lessons come when we shift our focus out of our comfort zone. We grow tremendously when we take the road less travelled, creating our own trail, and freeing ourselves from the “what ifs”! Our podcast is a candid conversation with creators, business leaders, entrepreneurs, sport heroes and celluloid icons who have dared to take chances, followed their dreams, risked it all, believed in themselves, made mistakes, started over and found success and happiness . This podcast is our chance to listen, speak, grow and have fun with our guests.
