Soungui Fitness was not only in their first year at a new location in the pandemic, but they were also hit with the extra challenge of needing to find a new space right in the middle of it.  Did this get them down or discouraged?  Nope not these 2, Soungui Koulamallah and Alycia Emily took it all in stride and actually saw their business grow with all of that crap.  So, we had lots of time to chat about other fun things as well.  I hope you enjoy.

My conversation with comedian Brian Stollery.  Brian is of my favorite headliners to come through Ottawa and is also one of the better friends I've made in the 8 or 9 years I've been at it.  He has 30 years of experience in comedy, does some acting on the side and was the very first winner of Siriusxm's Top Comic WAY back in 2010

Michael's got quite a story, you'll have to listen to hear it

After a nearly 2 month mental health hiatus, I am back and talking with Jacob Mark, a certified Wim Hof Method instructor here in the Ottawa area.  Enjoy.

In this episode I am chatting with a superb coach who I have worked with and who also happens to be a good friend, Jessica Dawn Seguin of Jessica Dawn Coaching.  We discuss her coaching business, expressing emotions and spend a lot of time speaking about her recent Ayahuasca experience.

Here's my conversation with one of my favorite comedians I've met in Ottawa, Rick Currie.  Rick started doing stand up in 1988 here in Ottawa and has done all the festivals the cool kids have done.  For the last 8 years, Rick has also been a writer for Rick Mercer and is still collaborating with that other Rick to pass the time during the days of covid.  We had every intention of including another Ottawa comedy old timer, Jim McNally, but as you'll hear, that did not go too well and we were unable to connect with him.  However, being the true comedic professional that he is, Jim was still able to add to the comedic value of this episode.  Enjoy!

In this episode I am talking with Breathwork facilitator, Krista Reid, who also just happens to be the office manager at Back in Balance Chiropractic where I work; and she does an amazing job at both.   If you want more info on what she does, you can check out her website Kristareid.com or follow her on Instagram @Kristareid_ You can also check out her teachers Erintelford.com and Davidelliott.com Although there is a lot of research on Breathwork, it is not a medical treatment, so if you are being treated for Depression or other mental health concerns be sure to discuss any changes to your treatment with your doctor or practitioner. 

This is a conversation with artist, poet, author, public speaker and Naturopathic Doctor, Laura Batson.  In this episode we discuss her lifelong passion and fascination for curves and how they are integral to everything from medicine and healing, to mathematics and the nature of the Universe.  In addition to being an outstanding practitioner, she has also published a book called Curvature, The Science and Soul of Nonlinearity and has created an online course on how to liberate your curve.  You can find more information on Dr. Batson, her book and the course on her website www.nonlinearmedicine.com and her Youtube channel Dr. Laura Batson, ND If there is anyone listening, happy listening! 

This episode I catch up with good friend and headlining comedian Efthimios Nasiopolous from Vancouver.   The name of the book we discuss that delves into the subject of the Holographic Universe is Beyond the Brain: Birth, Death and Transcendence in Psychotherapy by Stanslav Grof Shout out and apologies to the very funny Matt Bergman for referring to him as Matt Bregman.
