Forks in the road of life are inevitable. The decisions we make and the direction we follow, can enable us to find our greatness. When you get forked, just keep going and never give up.
When we think of climate change, it conjures images of industrial smokestacks
and bumper to bumper traffic, all spewing toxic emissions into the environment. Perhaps we see a jet take off down the runway leaving billowing black exhaust in its trail. It’s not likely that we look below our feet at the soil and imagine that it could be one of the greatest makers or breakers in the challenge of turning the tides of climate change.
This week we’re speaking with Ananda Fitzsimmons, the president of the board of directors for Regeneration Canada. I’m this episode we discuss:

As we arrive to the middle of summer, the Covid disruption and quarantine seems so far away. We can’t help but think to the months ahead and hope that we don’t revisit the circumstances of early 2020. Whatever the future may hold, we as individuals can challenge ourselves to see our situation as an opportunity to change. As we look to industries and governments to take on the responsibility to adopt more sustainable practices, we as well must take on the challenge to change our lives.
Chase Tucker is an outdoor adventurer, YouTube movie creator, and ultra athlete. He shares his beliefs and practices during the Covid quarantine and lifestyle advise to help us to recapture our sense of adventure.

Self reinvention never looks the way we imagine it to be. It often is required in times when we least expect it. If we can look past the stress of it and imagine something better for our lives, we can at least work in the direction for something new and maybe even better for ourselves.
As the Covid disruption continues to push us to adapt, many of us have found ourselves having to practice our physical fitness in unfamiliar ways. Coach Anissa Marcanio is a fitness and health coach,

As society slowly returns to activity, there is no denying that our conversations among one another have changed. Covid-19 has awakened us and brought to light fragilities in our current system. Though we have demonstrated our ability to transform many of the ways in which we conduct business, we see more clearly the elements of society that we must work harder on. One of the most pressing issues that demands our attention is the significantly large portion of the population that is not in good health.
Remote indigenous populations are among those who suffer most from health inequality. It is imperative that we acknowledge that these populations represent the failure of our system to foster diversity and support communities far from urban centres. Indigenous people live closest to the natural environment and therefore are most impacted by the deterioration of our ecosystem and poor government polocies. Diversity is our only safeguard for the future of our planet and should we fail to recognize the urgency to reestablish the health of these remote communities, we risk failing our planet.
This weeks guest is Dr. Bernard Reid. He is a family care practitioner in North Eastern Canada. He shares his learning experience and insights into working with these unique remote communities.

As covid sent the vast majority of our population into sequestration, many of us found ourselves taking the time to see the world through different lenses. Many of the fragilities of our systems were and still are being revealed. This novel corona virus is convincingly demonstrating that there are large portions of our population who’s health are needlessly in serious jeopardy. It doesn’t take much inquiry to understand that inequality is a major driver for poor physical and mental health.
Health inequality is a serious local and global problem that must get resolved. We need to come to a place of agreement where we acknowledge that though we may never see a perfect world of equality, we must make it that every individual is at least provided the tools and opportunity to pursue personal health and well being.

As we move through the Covid19 disruption, we are witnessing the fragilities of our current system. Beyond the fragilities of our unsustainable business models is the systemic racism and inequality that just might be the greatest cause of many of our global problems.
Our history is scarred with racism and the unjust treatment of billions of people who are at the mercy of a system that has been built to serve the needs of the few at the expense of the many. We are now at a turning point that has been brought to climax through the murder of George Floyd. He is one man but is representative of the history of the abuse of black people and minorities.
This podcast is my attempt to contribute in the way I hope to best serve the movement of “black lives matter.”
Like myself, Jean Hamilton has never spoken on this issue in public and my hope is that this will bring forward an authentic unscripted representation of how everyday citizens are navigating these times of upheaval. I’m sure that together he and I will find our best voice to do our share to keep this movement not only alive but to help society as a whole to find that space where all citizens can be given a fair hand in this incredible life.

During these times of sequestration, many of us have found ourselves in contemplation about our health, fitness, and what we would like to change in our lives. With a deep sense that the world is changing and certainly our hopes that the world will in fact change, we don’t want to miss this opportunity to challenge ourselves to change with it.
This is our 3rd part of our conversation with coaches Julia Balit and Nathan Zentner. We go deep in this discussion and explore the very controversial questions of the individual taking accountability for their personal well being.

Every individual and industry is at a fork in the road. Our lives have been disrupted with very little notice. These are the covid19 lockdown podcast editions. These are the stories of people, sharing their experience & vision of how we can emerge better.
There is a subtle yet clear shift happening in our world. We all feel that the mistakes that have been made in relation to our planet, can somehow be revisited now and made right. Almost as though we can hit a reset button. It is overwhelming to think on such a large scale to bring about the changes that we all feel must be made to heal ourselves and our planet. Before we can heal our earth, we must reconnect and heal ourselves. Much of our healing must be done though our connection to our food and nutrition. The methods by which we produce food is presently broken. Our methods of farming are unsustainable and the health of our population is at risk due to chemical farming and depleted nutrients in our soils. The good news is that we can change this, and there are people like Erik Chevrier, who are inspiring many people to reconnect with their food and health. There is a new food revolution taking place, bringing food production locally, and maybe even in our own backyard.
