In this episode, Taz sits down with Matt Drummond, restaurateur and owner of Le Charme in Calgary, to explore what it really means to take the leap into entrepreneurship and build genuine connections in your community. Together, they uncover how showing up authentically, without an agenda, creates lasting relationships, why surrounding yourself with people smarter than you is non-negotiable, and the hidden cost of chasing your vision that nobody tells you about. Discover how a $30K setback became a turning point that led to something bigger, and why the perfect time to start your business doesn't exist, you just have to build the plane as you fly it.

Taz sits down with Alison Pidskalny to explore the power of intentional decision-making, vulnerability, and generosity. Alison shares how a single coffee date changed the trajectory of her career and sparked a 20-year love affair with the nonprofit sector. Together, they dive into the art of the thoughtful YES, knowing when to say no, and how showing up with an abundant mindset can open doors you never knew existed.
