What I'm working on
I founded Work Nicer in 2015 by bringing together 10 friends around the fundamental belief that no one succeeds alone. It's since grown to become Alberta's #1 Coworking Community. Work Nicer empowers members to get out of the house, out of the coffee shop, and accomplish great things with their new found community.
Well, it's not really a business podcast, and it's not quite a social podcast. Honestly, not 100% sure what it is. But it'll be a good time!
Work in Progress is a monthly podcast featuring extraordinary people and their journeys—the good, the bad, and all its unexpected twists and turns.
5CC
Imagine being right there when the Internet was created -- before Google, Amazon, Facebook, or the App Store were even an idea. Crypto will change the world with much the same impact. Even though it's pretty painful sometimes. 5CC is part of how I'm involved in, learning about, and taking advantage of the generational opportunity of Crypto.

Favourite things
You'd think I'd put some books here. But I don't read books. I think I will. I start them, but never finish. Yes, I've tried audiobooks.
It's probably the ADHD.
Anyway. Books aren't the only way to learn things. I also obsess over which tools, apps, and services to interact with on a regular basis. Here are some of my (current) faves:
Stuff I Actually Read
Fred Wilson
Farnum Street
Mindf*ck Monthly
The Hustle
Morning Brew
The Peak
Things I Use
Tesla
Rise Science
Ōura Ring

A Little Bit More
I grew up on a farm in Taber, Alberta with one younger brother (he gets up to a lot of cool stuff) and two amazing parents (they now live in Lethbridge). In November 2010 my wife, Danielle, and I were married on a beach in Cabo. My folks taught me that actions have consequences (I chose to learn the hard way anyway), showed me first-hand the hard work involved in running businesses, and introduced me to my favourite quote (from Zig Ziglar):
“If you help enough other people get what they want, you will get what you want.“
Call it the golden rule, karma, doing the right thing, the long game, or whatever you want but I live to give before I receive.
