This post has been long overdue! It has been waiting in drafts for me for far too long. I need to share with you these artists: Neu and Two Lions & A Lady. Neu has been a great addition to my spin class playlists as his beats are deep and melodic. They get me smiling [...]
Last night, Will Blunderfield, one of my Artists to Watch in Vancouver and favourite yoga instructors, officially released his music to the world. While he shares his voice in all his classes, Will took to the stage in front of the lululemon on Robson street with some yogi dancers and Danielle Mika Nagel to celebrate [...]
Yesterday was Worldwide-Meet-The-Tribe-Of-Linchpins Day according to Seth Godin. Seth fans gathered together at over 790 meetups around the world and talked about his books/blog, shipping ideas, and many other topics of interest. Chris Coldeway, another UBC Sauder alum and creator of redrovr, organized the Vancouver Meetup. My sis got up there and shared a bit [...]

… cause then you can say yes! Having lunch yesterday with the always hilarious Conor Topley reminded me of the power of “no.” As he put it: Saying no to something is really saying yes to something else. TRUTH BOMB! Sometimes we feel guilty about saying no. We feel like we “have” to do things. [...]
Every year, over 30 alumni from the Sauder School of Business help coach the UBC delegation for the JDC West Business Competition. We spend about 4 months running the teams through cases, presentation techniques, training practices, and team building exercises. I can proudly say that coaching the Social Team is one of the best parts [...]
