  • Michael Chiasson: Carrying On Without Knowing What Comes Next
    Dec 17 2025

    Life doesn’t usually offer clarity when you need it.

    In this episode, reflects on what it means to keep moving forward through uncertainty. From early responsibility and family instability to becoming a husband, father, and leader while still figuring things out, his story unfolds without clean timelines or clear answers.

    Michael is a Canadian speaker, author, and founder whose work has grown out of lived experience rather than strategy. This conversation explores presence without control, responsibility before readiness, and how meaning often shows up later than the moments that shape us. It’s a grounded look at continuing on, not because you’re certain, but because life keeps going.

  • Cassie Hawrysh: Rebuilding After Real Disappointments
    Dec 10 2025

    Cassie Hawrysh has lived most of her life in high pressure environments. She grew up around adults, learned responsibility early, and carried that into sport where effort and expectations shaped almost everything she did. When she became one of the top skeleton athletes in the world, the drive that pushed her forwardalso became the thing she had to untangle.

    This episode looks at what happens when hard work does not lead to the outcome you imagined, and how a person rebuilds when they have to let go of the identity they carried for years. Cassie talks about the pull of ambition, the weight of almost moments, and the slow process of figuring out who she was outside of performance.

    It is a grounded conversation about pressure, transition, and the reality of starting again in your thirties.Cassie’s story is shaped by effort, honesty, and the long path toward a lifethat finally feels like her own.

  • Teika Hudson: Choosing a Life Built on Purpose and Creative Discipline
    Dec 3 2025

    Some people grow up fast because life demands it. Teika did. She carried responsibility early and learned to pay attention young. That awareness shaped how she understood people, how she stayed steady in difficult moments, and howshe found confidence in structure and discipline long before tattooing entered her life.

    This episode gets into the experiences that shaped her thinking. The pressure of growing up early. The instinct to read a room because you have to. The discipline built through martial arts. The years spent apprenticing while raising a kid. And how tattooing eventually became the place where all of those traits made sense together.

    Tattooing is her craft, but the story runs wider. It connects with anyone who has had to grow up early, carry more than people realized, or build their identity through steady work and honest self-understanding.
