6 MONTHS!
I canβt believe Iβve been at this βpodcast thingβ for six months. I knew Iβd love it, but had no idea how much. I feel really grateful that I get to do this work and share it with you all.
I can truly say that I've learned SO MUCH from launching + hosting this weekly show, and I've learned even more from my weekly conversations and interviews with my visionary guests. Everyone has such a unique and powerful message.
Today on the show, Iβm celebrating this exciting 6 month milestone in my own Visionary Life by recapping what the last 6 months have looked like, what to expect in the coming 6 months, and announcing a very special GIVEAWAY!
023 The "Anything But Average" Approach of a Boutique Communications Agency Called Pineapple Collective
Visionaries Emma Andres & Lynsey Walker are the founders of a boutique communications agency called Pineapple Collective. The two of them came from career-backgrounds in education, sales and marketing within the natural health industry; and after years working for other top health brands, they decided to step out on their own, combine over 10+ years of experience, and launch Pineapple Collective.
Pineapple Collective is an agency unlike the others: their 'anything but average approach' is recognizable in everything they put their stamp on!
This interview is a true inspiration if youβve ever wanted to explore how your passions and your business can beautifully flow together. I am so proud of what they have created in just a few short years, and can't wait for everyone to get a taste of Pineapple in their mouth (or ears?)!

019 Parson's Brewery is Creating a Community Hub around their Passion for Craft Beer
Today on the show we are chatting with Samantha from Parsonβs Brewery.
Samantha and her husband Chris didnβt always live in the county or have a business in beer. In fact, much of their lives were spent living in Toronto, Ontario where Chris had a career in banking and Samantha had an advertising role with Telus Communications.
Chris began brewing beers in their garage with a single 50 liter tank - and upon receiving rave reviews from thirsty friends - the business of brewing organically started to grow.
Today, Chris & Samantha have moved their life to a beautiful property just outside of Prince Edward County and have opened an adjacent brewhouse, bottle shop and community hub in a restored barn-house.
Dave and I had the chance to sip on 4 of their beers and I can truly say that they are some of the best brews we have ever tasted.
018 Social Media: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.. & How It Affects Our Lives
Today I brought one of my very best friends on to the show to chat all-things-social-media.
Samara and I often get together over coffee and chat about our lives. We discuss the highs, the lows, the bad, the good... and I really appreciate her as a friend because I never need to filter my conversations with her. It's 100% real talk and we simply chat about what's in our head and what's on our minds.
In the case of this weeks podcast, we decided to record our conversation about all-things-social-media. The idea came from an Instagram Detox that Samara was currently doing.
I know what you might be thinking...
-
Do we really need to detox from social media?
-
Is your relationship actually that bad with Instagram and Facebook (or whichever online platforms you frequent)?
-
How much of your day is spent browsing and scrolling?
...Iβm sure Samara and I are not the only ones who have considered a lot of these topics.
