Congratulations @tedkouri @darrentonn @DaniaSpillett & the team @incitestrat on celebrating 25 yrs. As co-founder it’s been amazing to see the company grow and change over time, and very rewarding to watch their evolution over the past 6yrs since my departure. #yegbiz #proud

HYROX is a gruelling test of strength, speed, dark humour and power and combines 8 stations (ie row, long jump burpees, sandbag lunges, sled etc) interspersed with 8x1k runs. It’s also an AMAZING event & if you’re craving some self-inflicted suffering you’re going to love it 😅

Apparently the term “bucket list” was originated by J. Zackham in ‘99, he thought it was more elegant than, “to do before I kick the bucket”… and Grose's 1785 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue defined “kick the bucket” as “die” - obviously. Regardless: @NimmoBayResort #bucketlist

My son’s air hockey game @RogersPlace (Kai vs Drai) didn’t turn out as well as we hoped. Kai lost 4-1. Of course he’s grounded now as a result but we sure loved the event in support of @Oil_Foundation @EdmontonOilers #HeritageClassic

Team @lloydsadd @NavacordInc packed a room w/ 400 #yegbiz execs for a deep-dive into topics surrounding corporate risk. I enjoyed the opportunity to share some laughs, tears, insights & stories & I recognize that inviting me on stage represented a risk in and of itself :) #risky

“Great leaders block time into 4 categories: reflecting (thinking about/processing the past), planning (preparing for the future), acting (in the moment, playing out the plan) and pausing (mind off - in nature, hiking, listening to music, yoga, meditation, etc.)” @ijchisholm

Post Covid-era downtown safety and revitalization in #yeg (and most major cities) is a complicated issue. Thankful that we have intelligent, capable people here working on it. (Mind you I’m sad to say my “YEG needs a vigilante” campaign seems to have fizzled). @JA_NorthAlberta
