When you meet Angie Hill….you get Angie Hill! There is no pretense there. It’s true authenticity through and through. She’s opinionated. She’s direct. She’s funny. She’s smart as hell. And she cares! Often, what you get on air isn’t what you get off air. Is it any wonder why she has survived an industry that has been rife with cuts and reinvention?…

The art of sales is as specialized and necessary as breathing when it comes to life. You’d think a teacher and musician wouldn’t know or need to know how to sell. You couldn’t be more mistaken.

A big failing with men is that they were, and are typically, not allowed to be human. It was seen as weakness to need help, to shed a tear, to fail and to fall. Thankfully, the world is changing. The fact is, the strongest men on earth are the ones who seek help. To hear from one of Canada’s greatest sports media icons, like Dan O’Toole, describe h…

Ken Seiling dropped out of a promising teaching career for a life in public service. That leap of faith was daring and, some would say, ill advised at the time.

You likely don’t know who Barry Daniels is. Unless you were in one of his choirs or musical productions, you would think he was just a regular guy. A common theme I find in the interviews we do is that the people who make the greatest impact on people’s lives have no clue they are doing it. They also don’t think they are that good. Barry is one of …

Dreams don’t just happen, they evolve. Tim had no idea where his music would take him, or if it would take him. Many musicians end up teaching, which is what Tim Moher did with the local school board, but it was a chance opportunity that saw him build a powerful voluntary music program that ultimately served over a thousand kids. The program he est…
