We cover his impact on the world of boxing. He begins by reflecting on his teenage years in Calgary, where his early love for music and dance helped shape his rhythm and movement as a boxer. From discovering boxing to developing his craft, Kent takes us through his learning process, the excitement of his first matches, and the realization of his natural talent in the sport. With that, we explore his boxing career in detail. Kent explains the learning process and how he developed his skills in this sport. We talk about his early success and the setbacks that tested him, injuries, financial pressures, and the impact of COVID, and how each break from the ring offered perspective on what truly mattered. He speaks candidly about faith, values, and self-reinvention, showing how boxing became more than a sport. It was his purpose leading to personal growth and leadership. Family plays a central role in Kent’s story. Their commitment and support in Kent's career contributed to his success. This interview is full of examples of his mother’s unwavering support and his brother's bond, which have contributed to his success. Furthermore, it is not about Kent's achievement, but rather how he is giving back to his family to better their lives. It is about how he has developed his character as a grounded and giving person, the qualities of a true champion and leader. Kent shares his experiences as both an amateur and professional boxer. We cover the logistics of matches and how they are arranged. There is insight into the business side of the sport, including rankings and logistics. Kent describes his evolution as a fighter, the importance of his support team, and the mental discipline required to stay confident and focused. Beyond boxing, there are many discussions about Kent, not a boxer, but a person. He reflects on his religious faith and what that means for him. He speaks of life after boxing, knowing that he will retire from the sport, and what he wants to do then, and about being a role model, the legacy he is leaving now as a boxer, and what he wants to leave after boxing. This interview will interest anyone who wants to pursue a career as a boxer or is drawn to the sport, as we cover all facets of this sport. Kent’s story will inspire athletes of all sports as we talk about the challenges he has faced and will face in the future. This interview is more than about boxing or building a career. It is about finding and delivering on our purpose. When we do this, we set the example for others, inspiring them to do better. This is an ongoing process, as Kent is an example of this. He is more than a champion in the making; he is a leader.

A graduate of the University of East Anglia with a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences and a graduate of Akimbo’s altMBA and Podcasting Workshop programs. Steve brings a unique blend of scientific discipline, creative expression, and the desire to serve others.

Moving to London, he began his career in environmental health with the local municipality, where he learned valuable lessons in public service, safety, and the evolving history of environmental responsibility. Through various roles, Steve developed insights into the impact of this field on community well-being. The conversation turns personal as Steve opens up about a challenging chapter in his life. The stresses of managing a large housing project, traveling to Africa, and exposing his body to vaccinations led to chronic fatigue syndrome. He describes how that changed the trajectory of his career and life. This led to an 11-month sabbatical from work, during which a profound period of self-assessment resulted. He reflects candidly on how that time reshaped his understanding of work, health, and purpose, driving him toward creative renewal. Insightful and fascinating!!

Scott graduated from the Drafting Engineering program at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (S.A.I.T). He is also a graduate of Grant McEwan University’s music program. Scott’s story is how he has remained true to himself. He explains that his vision to follow his passion in music was altered due to the deal he made with his dad. This was to follow a more practical career path in construction. He explains that he attended S.A.I.T. first and then, upon graduating, he pursued his desire for music at Grant MacEwan. Detailed discussions illustrate Scott's experience from both of these endeavors. With his education behind him, there are conversations regarding how and why Scott decided to pursue a career utilizing his drafting skills. There are reflections on how computers were making an inroad into organizations and the ramifications for his career. We cover the history of Information technology (IT), providing the listener insight into this sector.

We cover his research on the schooling for this craft. The path he pursued and how that helped him is conveyed. In essence, there is an inside look at how someone develops their skill in making guitars. Furthermore, we cover the instrument’s components, and functionality.

Above all, this episode will appeal to anyone who wants to hear an inspirational story of how someone like Scott had expectations and passion but learned to vary them as he grew. It is about resilience while maintaining passion and being true to oneself, and Scott is a perfect example of this. In addition, it's about balance, and this is evident throughout this interview, as Scott has maintained his IT career while pursuing his passion in music.

Which then led him to embark on a journey to Europe finally settling in the United Kingdom, taking his music with him.

He also has a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calgary where his research was based on foot orthotics. Lou is the owner and operator of Lou’s Performance Center in Calgary. He specializes in adapting ski equipment to fit individual needs for skiers.

The company’s website hosts an array of articles and videos pertaining to this topic as well. In this interview, Lou indicates that he had a passion for skiing. He takes us through the experience he had in the U.S. Navy where he discovered he was very technically proficient. Upon completing his services, he discusses the experience he acquired working at a ski shop where he witnessed the modernization of ski boots going from leather to plastics which, then initiated a better understanding of the foot leading to work with orthotics. Though this was seasonal work, he wanted something more substantial, he talks about how he made the decision to do a degree in Mechanical Engineering and the experience with this. Upon completing this endeavor, this opened various employment opportunities that he discusses. In essence, he did do many things, gaining knowledge in many areas, meandering for a while. However, he ultimately realized his passion was skiing and opening a ski shop, and working with the foot. He goes through his journey from moving from the United States to Canada to further his education. And through some trial, tribulation, and goodwill how he opened his store, Lou’s Performance Center. He describes over a twenty-year period how he has grown his business into a very reputable store with many resources that can enhance the skier’s performance. This is an interview for anybody that is interested in entrepreneurship, especially retail, as he does describe how this sector functions. Also, highlighting how research is conducted at least from his experience for those that may consider such an avenue. He illustrates that education; sound knowledge and mentorship are what assisted him in his success and he passes the same advice on to others as well.
