The Second Act Podcast (Gord Kiteley)

Every once in a while you meet someone who you just know is worth sitting down and chatting with. Martin Belanger was that guy for me.  Meeting him through work, but knowing that his story was far more that just work, we chatted about him appearing on the show and we finally made it happen!  Check out a story in the energy industry that you may not have heard before…I hadn’t!

This week we sat down with a gentleman whose story is all too familiar, if not well publicised  Cary Kish woke up on his 45th birthday and found out that his life wasn’t everything he thought it was. He made some decisions but before he did something that couldn’t be undone, he had an epiphany.  He stopped and reconsidered.  And he is here this week to tell that story, a story that is focused on getting people unstuck and into their greatness.

A proud Father of 3, he is passionate about serving others in their journey to level-up using the perfect blend of mindset, manifestation, motivation and life experience.

Cary supports people with their transformation by uncovering and using the lessons and gifts in their struggles and frustrations to level-up and live the life they desire.

He walks the path of growth daily by living the mantra “When you pursue excellence, excellence pursues you”.  His mission statement of “Global impact through exploiting my gifts in the service of others.” starts here today with our audience.  Join us for a tale of triumph (to this point!) and lessons learned!

When I saw Jake DeMarsh’s video on IG indicating that he was going to generate some streaming revenue to help keep people in recovery where they needed to be, I knew there had to be more to the story than what he could say in that short time!  And boy, was I right!  Jake shares his journey through addiction into recovery and all the way through he talks about the help that people need on their journey. He has a lot of hope and he is trying to share it with the groups that need it.  I think you’ll feel better after a listen to this one!

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we welcome Canadian Paralympian Julie Kozun.  Julie competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games in the Sitting Volleyball event, which she became eligible to participate in after a lawnmower accident when she was 15.  We discuss the accident, the resulting decision that set her on this path and what her life looks like now that she is at the apex of her competitive pursuit.  She made a tough choice to pull out of the program just before the 2016 Rio games and we walk through that process to show what is considered when those decision are made.  She is a remarkable young lady and when you are through listening, you will be thrilled of the caliber of person who is representing Canada on our behalf.  You can follow her journey on IG at @juliekozunsittingvball or at https://paralympic.ca/team-canada/julie-kozun.

Seth Anderson made some big changes. And he couldn’t stop! After moving from rural Alberta to work in a corporate setting, he continued to follow his calling, leading and mentoring people. Eventually, he shut down the corporate life altogether and dove headfirst into artist development. After hooking up with Blue Willow Entertainment, he’s been able to chase that dream down and it’s been an incredible experience thus far. He joins us again to take us down that road!

Sitting down with Landon Larson to chat about all of the decisions he made and experiences he had that lead to a life of farming.  I think there are a lot of ways that can happen, but there are some misconceptions about how it actually happens.  Landon's honestly regarding the succession planning and the roles his parents play in helping him and his family be successful is critical to understanding how the hand off will work.  He talks about how being "the boss" comes with stresses and pratfalls that make the highs so much more rewarding and how he views success now that he has some crops under his belt.  Join us for a discussion that makes you laugh and think, I think you'll like this one.

Today we are sharing a brief chat with the Executive Producer, Chief Lawn Care Technician and all around good guy, my son Liam.  Liam helps with a lot of things around Second Act HQ and I thought it may be interesting to hear his point of view on the craziness that has ensued since we started on this journey.  As usual, he doesn't disappoint. He talks about his own pod, what he learned and how we are using those lessons with this project.  It's a fun, irreverant look at what goes on behind the mic.

Have kids, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

They were right.

Chace Barber was just a college student trying to earn his way to his degree when he and his partner stumbled across an idea that could revolutionise the trucking industry…or not. It depends on how hard they wanted to chase it!  Well, they’ve gone all in on an electric semi and they have a waiting list of like-minded folks.  Join us for the story of a couple of unlikely pioneers in a world filled with people who don’t want to put in the work!  These guys do!

Patrick Moon Bird is a indigenous lo-fi hip hop artist based out of Prince Albert SK, but as you’ll hear, he draws his inspiration from everywhere.  He talks about starting out playing a more traditional, if not accessible style of music and settling on betting on himself as a producer and artist. Patrick is open and frank about his life and how the product of his creativity being out in the world isn’t always easy.  It’s a great chat and I really enjoyed spending the hour with him!

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we welcome music industry veteran Jim Cressman to talk about his career as a manager, promoter and record label owner and how he has manifested the success he enjoys.  He describes taking a leap to a remote work lifestyle a decade ago and what the tradeoffs for that were and continue to be.  Honest and engaging, Jim shares the inside scoop about a life working with artists and how to navigate the business side of the music business.  Like Eddie Van Halen used to say, they call it playing music, not working music....but someone has to do the work, and we have that guy here!

Getting to write your own ending is all anyone can ask for in any career, but a politician getting a chance to go out on their own terms is really incredible.  This week's guest had a successful run as the Premier of Saskatchewan, leading a new party on a decade long run in power and walking away while on top.  People thought there was more in store for Brad Wall, politically and in the public eye, but as you will hear on this episode, he knew the day he called it that his political life was over.   Now, as he tries other things in the private sector, he talks about his children, his wife and what they plan to do in the future together.  It's a great tale of what can be when you keep forging ahead and walk bravely into your Second Act!

In the debut episode of The Second Act Podcast, we talk to a gentleman who is importing some of the finest boutique spirits, seltzers and sodas the world has to offer into Western Canada and using that platform has become a true culinary connoisseur within the vibrant #YYC restaurant scene.  Dave Murray tried his hand at hockey before getting a business degree from the U of A, and once he had been through a couple of energy sector downturns, he knew he would have to have a back up plan.  His "back up plan" became option 1A once he and his wife Leah decided to dig in and do it their way!

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we had an opportunity to sit down with the most unique guest we have had to date.  Olivia Hartley is a full-service sex worker who is located on Vancouver Island and she is blowing up your preconceived notions about exactly what it is that she does.  She tells her story about how she got to where she is, how it is different than what even she expected and she tells us exactly why societies views on the oldest profession are not only antiquated but harmful and more dangerous than anyone could know.  There are untold people who perform this work, utilize their services and make a living in this vocation and we were lucky enough to get one that was willing to pull the curtain back and give us a tour.  Enjoy the ride, you will learn something, I guarantee it!  Check her out at:

Kelly Hrudey is a Canadian institution in the game of hockey.  There really aren’t too many people who are more synonymous with the game than he is.  From a long playing career to a quarter century turn on Hockey Night In Canada, there isn’t a memory in the game that he isn’t attached to.  But, hockey doesn’t define him and it certainly isn’t all he thinks about.  From wanting to be a park ranger to playing junior hockey in Medicine Hat, being the 6th goalie on the depth chart at his first pro camp to travelling Europe with Wayne and Friends only to learn that they were like the Beatles, Kelly tells his story, in his words and we are so thankful for the opportunity to be the forum.  Join us for this one, you won’t want to miss it!

Joze is a musician from Montreal who didn’t start getting serious about music until his mid-20’s.  And that didn’t mean he missed out on the hard stuff!  In the aftermath of releasing his debut EP, he is out sharing his story, being honest and forthright about the up’s and the down’s!  His easy listening, adult contemporary-styled material is infectious, self-deprecaating and well thought out.  In short, it’s an easy-to-love addition to your library!

Robert Scott was like any young man with too much time on his hands. He partied and drank and generally had a good time.  Until he found a digital camera and the open road. He started photographing the world around him and it became more than a hobby. Now, after discovering the stories behind so many abandoned houses in Southern Alberta, he has embarked upon a storytelling journey called The Secondary Highway.  It’s an incredible story and in his own words, it’s breathtaking in span.  Check us out!

On the 6th episode of The Second Act Podcast we sit down for a discussion with Vancouver Island woodworker Sam Acford to chat about how his gifts for working with his hands led him to eventually running a successful shop. He talks about working for TED Talks, his run in with Edward Snowden and how he traded some spoons for a tattoo!

Sam has a unique story about how he knew he wasn’t long for the standard time-for-pay model and how he ensured he was going to stick with it.  Sam definitely has an idea about what he needs to keep happy and he is always exploring opportunities to maintain it.

Moms.  What can you say about moms that hasn't already been said a million times?  Mine is no different, she has always been a huge supporter of *most* things I have tried in my life and I felt like no "Supporting Act" edition is complete without an appearance by her.

Of course, she is positive and optimistic, but she also provides the little tidbits that help me understand why I gravitate towards this.

This was a lot of fun for me, I think Mom enjoyed it and we hope you find a little glimpse into our lives interesting.

This week we are fortunate to have Sam Ridgewell drop in for a discussion about her journey to becoming a professional hockey player, a place where all Canadian kids dream of being.  It was never easy, it wasn’t even always apparent there was a prize at the end of the road, but she persevered, with a ton of support from her family and supporters.  She shares the ups and the downs and talks about going back to school after begging her parents to just let her stay home and how that led eventually to being on the National Women’s Hockey League’s Toronto 6!  Her humble, honest nature is apparent in this discussion and we are so excited to be able to share it with you.

Mental health is a cause near and dear to everyone but when you are in the hospitality business and a worldwide pandemic arrives, it becomes impossible to manage.  A trio of entrepreneurs from Central AB banded together to help each other and their employees to share their message.  Rielly (Cilantro and Chive) & Matt (Blindman Brewing) and their partner Brennan (Bo’s Bar & Grill) have created an initiative called Stigma 86 where they aim to help shed some light on what goes into the business of hospitality.  It’s a fun chat and when we are done, maybe you’ll understand what they go through to bring us food and drink a little more clearly.

Alecia Bexson is a lady whose comfort with death has lead her to a calling that most people probably don’t even know exist.  A death doula is probably something you haven’t thought much about, but after listening to her talk about what goes into the profession, I bet you have questions.  It’s an interesting, raw look at death and how people can cope more successfully with its inevitable presence.  Have a listen!

You know that feeling when you shoot for the stars and it sticks? Well, that's what this was.  I reached out to Steve Cadigan, he of 90,000 Tik Tok followers, countless keynote addresses and a resume so varied and and steeped in hiring royalty that you have to wonder how he finds the time. Well, he found the time and he was incredible.  Going through his life, his career and the many roles he has held with the who's who of the SIlicon Valley, he shares tales and tips about dealing with people on all rungs of the corporate ladder and helps us use those lessons in our everyday life. It was a reminder for me that if you ask, the worst they can say is "No" but the most amazing thing they can say is "Yes" and mean it.  Buckle up for an unbelieveable look into a unique and mind blowing career. Check out Steve online at stevecadigan.com, on youtube or @stevecadigan on Tik Tok.  He also has a podcast called The Work Week After Hours with Shane Howard and a book coming out in Aug 2021 called Workquake .  He has an incredible amount of material out there, all thoughtful and useful if you are in a spot where you are trying to understand interacting with others in this world.

Tyler Smith is a Humboldt bus crash survivor who has taken the trauma he lives with and puts it in terms that anyone can appreciate.  Whether it’s through his podcast, his speaking or his clothing line, Tyler wants people to know vulnerability is okay and suffering isn’t inevitable.  He shares his story about coming back to play and knowing that wasn’t his path any longer, going into therapy and he talks about the coach of that team and how he truly made them special.  This is a great chat with a guy who has taken lemons and made lemonade, to be certain.

On this episode of The Second Act Podcast, we sit down with a gentleman who, other than my wife, probably had the most impact on my decision to start this podcast.  Jason Jackson and I worked together for a number of years and our discussions were always very influential on my point of view of any situation we were mulling over.  We don't always see things the same by any stretch, but we find the same things funny.  We have very different opinions of success, failure, and what is worth it but we know exactly why the other thinks what he does.  We get each other, even if we aren't always on the same page.  And, I think everyone needs to have someone like that in their lives to help them grow and understand.  He has done a number of different things over the years, including walking away from a seemingly un-quittable corporate job to pursue a lifestyle that results in far more riches than a simple bank statement could ever measure.  Having to have my points sharp and thought out before embarking on the discussion is what has made me want to do this.  I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much we did having it.  I doubt it, but I hope so.

D Jay McGrath can tell you all about expectations. Moving away at 15 to play hockey, getting drafted to the WHL and coming home to a hero's welcome when anxiety and depression had completely derailed his career. He didn't have anywhere to turn, so he shut himself off to the world, retreating into drugs and alcohol to quiet his inner-monologue. Just over a year ago, he decided to make a change and he is spreading his word all over the youth sports landscape. Being great at one thing doesn't mean you have all the answers, and D Jay is here to talk about that.
