Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Homeless to Calgary Real Estate Power Couple - Calgary - Canada's Entrepreneur
Q: When you first moved to Calgary, what was your biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge was adapting without a local support network, being the first in their clan to move, and needing to manage finances closely while establishing themselves as newcomers and then as PR holders.
From ICU Nurse to Education Entrepreneur - Calgary - Canada's Entrepreneur
Q: What sparked your philanthropic drive and how do you sustain it?
A personal experience after hearing a story about giving, plus a belief that philanthropy should be integrated into business and daily life, supported by ongoing fundraising and family involvement.
From ICU Nurse to Education Entrepreneur - Calgary - Canada's Entrepreneur
Q: How did your experience with Tanbridge Academy influence the Flourish Centre concept?
Tanbridge showed me the power of sport-anchored education and the importance of accessible programming; I wanted to bring that same approach to the wider community to help youth beyond the school setting.
From ICU Nurse to Education Entrepreneur - Calgary - Canada's Entrepreneur
Q: What is the Flourish Centre and what is its mission?
It is a community hub designed to engage all ages in Calgary, using sport and recreation to improve mental, emotional, and physical health, while providing programming and opportunities for human engagement and resilience.
