Angela and Trevor are back for a check in episode, and there is so much ground to cover! We start with exciting updates from Trevor’s entrepreneurship journey and book readings, and Angela begins holding her breath for a “Polar Bear and Walrus” sequel. Then it’s time to delve into big themes that came up this season as 20 wonderful neighbours shared their varied, interesting, and truly inspiring stories. We learned about people overcoming self-doubt and pursuing their dreams, lessons of remarkable resilience in the face of tragedy and challenging circumstances, and totally refreshing perspectives on gratitude, empathy, forgiveness, and confidence. We even try to apply these lessons as “life happens” during our recording :D. After that brief interruption, we return to appreciate the guests who are actively putting love and support into their communities in their own signature ways. As always, we are beyond grateful to get to hear and share these powerful stories, and look forward to more after our upcoming summer break!

At the age of five, Matthew Jensen had already begun displaying signs of the powerful confidence, dedication, and intuition with which he would obsessively pursue a multitude of dreams and careers. From a performing magician to a recording rap artist, graphic designer, marketing innovator, and social media creator…a common thread is his tendency to inject humor and joy into everything he does. It’s no wonder why we have too much fun in this episode, hearing stories from Matt’s life and delving into watershed moments that forever changed things for him. Along the way, he reflects on making the decision to move on from a dream, the challenge of managing ego, and the moment he realized the real meaning of “all you need is love”. Just like after every other epiphany, Matt just had to spring into action. He’s actively encoded love into the foundation of his company Maxogram Media Inc, and now spreads his (maybe too) concentrated love of coffee to others through lighthearted “Daily Sips of Joy” videos.

Steve Foran speaks on the importance of gratitude to help us lead happier, more energetic lives and organizations. After completing research on the topic during his MBA, the potential benefits struck Steve as so compelling that he decided to leave electrical engineering behind and make it his literal business to coach leaders on the skill of gratitude. In the 15 years since he’s engineered practical tools and processes that help people show up as the best version of themselves, improving engagement and resilience. We are so grateful for Steve’s openness as we discuss the early days of building his business, challenges of shifting mindset and culture, and a wealth of tips for an effective and healthy gratitude practice.
